Does anyone have some advice for treating a floating roof vent for a tank containing very smelly disulfide oils (dimethyl and diethyl disulfide)? I was thinking a carbon canister could work but the MSDS lists the odor threshold for this stuff at 1 ppm. The space above the floating roof will have a nitrogen blanket so we are only talking about the seal leakage amount.
