Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a method of injecting an odourant into a gas stream, wherein the odourant is stored in liquid form in a storage vessel (110), wherein a saturated vapour is formed from the odourant in the storage vessel (110), wherein the saturated vapour is transferred to an accumulator vessel (120) during first time intervals, and wherein the saturated vapour is injected into the gas stream from the accumulator vessel (120) during second time intervals, the first and second time intervals being alternating time intervals. A corresponding system (100) is also part of the present invention.
