Mr. John A. Knoll of Odorization Solutions initially trained at Natural Gas Odorizing “NGO” where he obtained operations and laboratory analysis experience. Sales training was done with senior salesman. During this period, extensive testing was performed throughout the U.S.A. on many of the major gas systems. Much knowledge was gained on all aspects of the natural gas industry as a result of these travels.

Mr. Knoll moved from Houston, Texas to Pensacola, Florida in the fall of 1977 having acquired the ten State area of the Southeast. He realized the need to pay close attention to the customer’s individual needs. At the request of his customers, he has given numerous presentations to many gas industry functions, some of which have been published. He has organized three gas seminars in the Pensacola area with attendees from as far away as Kansas. To further assist customers with their needs regarding safety, proper handling, and usage of the product, he has designed, and/or consulted in the design of numerous odorization stations. This included recommendation of new measurement/regulation equipment, or changes to existing equipment. Proper odorization requires knowledge of measurement and pressure control with correct implementation of all these items.
