Title: Use combustion units designed to destroy vapors released by condensate tanks and glycol dehydrators
Text: "Barrett Resources Corporation has minimized odors generated at natural gas production sites, a common source of complaint by surface owners, by using combustion units designed to destroy vapors released by condensate tanks and glycol dehydrators. These units also reduce emissions of methane (a greenhouse gas), and other hydrocarbons that can affect visibility."
