| Objectives | To provide answers to the following two key challenges to the current process:1. Oxygen content: the GS(M)R limit for oxygen is 0. 2 mol%. Unconventional gas supplies may have higher oxygen content, and whilst gas distribution networks have an exemption to allow biomethane sites to flow up to 1 mol% oxygen, no such exemption exists for the NTS. Is this appropriate?2. Gas Quality Blending: the co-mingled gas quality sample point location is set at 20 pipe diameters from the injection point, in line with current ISO standards. Is this appropriate for smaller unconventional gas connections? Delivery of a project report detailing the results of the gas quality study and addressing the two key challenges as per the objective. | |
| Abstract | This study is an investigation into a number of gas quality related topics that determine the limitations for gas supplies onto the NTS. The standards, systems and processes have been successfully used for conventional connections for a number of years however; these will not necessarily be the most appropriate, efficient or effective for unconventional gas suppliers (e. g. bio methane or shale). This study will therefore investigate and challenge several key parameters to ensure that any approaches to NGGT for connections can be offered the most appropriate solution. The project deliverables broken down into four stages as follows: Impact of increasing oxygen in the NTS - 4 weeks Investigation into flow regimes, gas quality and static mixers - 8 weeks Computational Fluid Dynamics study - 17 weeks Combining of results, reporting, technical governance - 8 weeksNote : Project Documents may be available via the ENA Smarter Networks Portal using the Website link above | |
