Note: edited for correctness
Assuming that you meant ppmw (parts per million by weight), and not ppmv (parts per million by volume); and also that you meant short tons (2000 lbs) and not metric tonnes (1000 kg):
x /(500 tons * 2000 lbs/ton + x) = 6/1,000,000
Where x is the amount of odorant in pounds.
Solving for x yields:
x= 6.000036 lbs for a 6 ppmw (parts per million weight) concentration
This shows we can neglect the amount of odorant added since it is insignificant (0.00036 lbs) in the total, and the equation reduces to:
x/(500*2000) = 6x10-6
yielding: x=6 lbs for 6ppmw
likewise:
x=12.001 lbs of odorant for 12ppmw
or
x=12 lbs for the simple calculation.
Important conversion: ppm/1x106= fraction in total

What are seal pots?
Seal pots (sometime called condensate pots) are used to allow a liquid seal between the instrument and flowing gases such as steam. Their function is to keep the liquid level constant in the impulse tubes. For example, in boiler liquid level applications the high pressure (HP) side of a differential pressure transmitter is connected to the vapor space on top of the steam drum. Steam condenses in the chamber or seal pot and fills the impulse line with condensate. The seal pot is located to allow the condensate to drain back to the source thus keeping the liquid level constant.

What is the difference between the operation of a automatic boiler and manual boiler?
boiler are working on same principal but automatic and manual boiler has difference that manual boiler working at single element loop and automatic boiler work at three element loop.single loop means when fuel increase mean load increase on boiler by adjusting fuel operator has to adjust steam drum level manualy , while automatic means when load increas, fuel increase steam drum level adjust automaticaly by watching fuel consumption.
