Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a gas odorizer that imparts to gas a warning odor required for awareness of gas leakage, and to a method of manufacturing town gas that uses the gas odorizer. The gas odorizer of the present invention contains no nitrogen, or even in cases in which it is included, is in a sufficiently low concentration, so that the combusting of fuel gas in which the gas odorizer of the present invention is blended does not produce sulfides, making it possible to prevent environmental pollution and making it suitable to use for fuel cell applications. The method of manufacturing the town gas of the present invention comprises a gasifying step of gasifying liquefied natural gas, an LPG odorizing step of adding the gas odorizer of the present invention to liquefied petroleum gas, and a town gas generation step in which liquefied petroleum gas obtained by the LPG odorizing step is gasified and mixed with natural gas obtained by the gasification step and the heating value and combustibility adjusted to form the town
