Why on occasion does my Methanol have an unusual odour? Does it affect the product purity or performance?
Industry research has indicated that unusual odours in methanol are a common problem and stem from low-level mercaptans and / or amines found in the natural gas raw materials used in production. Odours from these types of compounds can be noticeable at low part per million (ppm) levels and have not been shown to have any negative impact on product performance at these concentrations.
