FUNDAMENTALS OF ENERGY DETERMINATION This paper presents fundamental information necessary to understand and appreciate the concept of total gas energy in a natural gas pipeline. That is, to be able to converse with peers within the natural gas industry and understand basic concepts and terminology. The historical transition from volumetric measurement to total gas energy is discussed, including some…

METHODS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF SPECIFIC GRAVITY The terms Specific Gravity and Relative Density have been used for a number of years. Yet there seems to be some confusion over what exactly they mean. Specific Gravity is formally defined as the ratio of gas density to air density when both are at standard conditions of 0 Degree C and 760 mm Hg.…

OPERATIONS OF ON-LINE CHROMATOGRAPHY Since the early eighties it has become common in the United States, and elsewhere in the world, for natural gas to be bought and sold based on the amount of energy delivered. The quantity of energy delivered is calculated by multiplying the gas volume per unit time by the heating value (BTU) per unit volume

TECHNIQUES OF COMPOSITE SAMPLING Since a gas sampling system can be referred to as a “cash register” it is very important that the correct sampling method be selected and the appropriate industry standard be followed. Methods reviewed by this paper will include spot sampling, composite sampling, and on-line chromatography. In addition, Gas Processors Association (GPA) 2166-86 and American Petroleum…

FUNDAMENTALS OF NATURAL GAS CHEMISTRY Bonds The attractive forces that hold atoms together in compounds are called chemical bonds. There are two major classes of bonds–ionic bonds and covalent bonds. Most of the bonds involved in natural gas components are single covalent bonds. A single covalent bond consists of a pair of electrons shared by two atoms. A double bond…
