GAS TRANSMISSION SYSTEM [7 records]

Record 1 2016-07-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Compressors
  • Gas Industry
CONT

An essential element in the transmission of natural gas over long distances. To ensure maximum, even flow in the transmission system, the gas must be recompressed at compressor stations located every 60 to 80 kilometers along the route, since gas, unlike oil, loses pressure rapidly with distance.

OBS

compressor station: term standardized by Environment Canada and the Translation Bureau for use in the Black Carbon Inventory.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Compresseurs
  • Industrie du gaz
DEF

Bâtiment ou emplacement où sont installés les compresseurs [...] à intervalles réguliers le long des pipelines de gaz ou de liquides.

OBS

station de compression : terme normalisé par Environnement Canada et le Bureau de la traduction dans le cadre de l'inventaire de carbone noir.

Record 2 2016-05-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Transport of Oil and Natural Gas
DEF

The central, or trunk, pipeline system by means of which dry natural gas is transported from field gathering stations or processing plants to the industrial or domestic fuel market.

OBS

gas transmission system : term standardized by Environment Canada and the Translation Bureau for use in the National Inventory Report.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Transport du pétrole et du gaz naturel
OBS

système de transport du gaz : terme normalisé par Environnement Canada et le Bureau de la traduction dans le cadre du Rapport d'inventaire national.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Transporte de petróleo y gas natural
CONT

Sistema de distribución de gas natural. El gasoducto está compuesto por redes, troncales y ramales. [...] Las redes externas se instalan en las principales pistas y bermas de las zonas urbanas, asegurando la cobertura de la red y el suministro de gas natural. [...] Asimismo, las tuberías de polietileno utilizadas pasan por pruebas de presión para garantizar la hermeticidad de las redes. [...] Tiene una capacidad de 250 millones de pies cúbicos diarios, que permite atender a un número amplio de clientes industriales, comerciales y domiciliarios en todos los niveles de presión requeridos: 56 Bar, 19 Bar y 4 Bar.

Record 3 2016-05-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil and Natural Gas Distribution
CONT

Natural gas distribution : The natural gas distribution system receives high-pressure gas from the gate of the transmission system and distributes this through local pipelines to the end user.

OBS

natural gas distribution: term standardized by Environment Canada and the Translation Bureau for use in the National Inventory Report.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Distribution du pétrole et du gaz naturel
CONT

Distribution du gaz naturel : Le réseau de distribution du gaz naturel reçoit du gaz à haute pression à l’entrée du réseau de transport et le distribue aux consommateurs par son réseau local de gazoducs.

OBS

distribution de gaz naturel : terme normalisé par Environnement Canada et le Bureau de la traduction dans le cadre du Rapport d'inventaire national.

Record 4 2004-09-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
CONT

In gas correlation spectroscopy, a cell containing the target gas is placed in front of the sensor. The scene is viewed twice, through the target gas cell and through an empty cell. The gas in the cell serves as a "matched filter" to the target gas in the plume. The "modulated" transmission of the system is very high at the spectral bands of the target gas while it practically blocks transmission at all other wavelengths. The system has a very high Etendue(throughput) and is simultaneously responsive to several spectral lines or bands--increasing the overall sensitivity.

CONT

MOPITT will make measurements of infrared radiation originating from the surface of the planet and isolate the energy being radiated from CO and CH4 molecules by using a technique called gas correlation spectroscopy.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télédétection
CONT

L'instrument [MOPITT] mesurera les rayonnements infrarouges provenant de la surface de la Terre et isolera l'énergie émise par les molécules de CO et de CH4 à l'aide de la technique appelée spectroscopie à corrélation en phase gazeuse.

OBS

It consists of a gas discharge tube, a segment of a high-frequency transmission line, and a matching system.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radar, radioguidage et radiogoniométrie
  • Installations de télécommunications
DEF

English

Subject field(s)
  • Natural Gas and Derivatives
  • Commercial Utilization (Oil and Natural Gas)
DEF

A natural gas processing plant, located on a main gas transmission system, which extracts NGL from the gas stream.

OBS

Generally, the plant is located on a main transmission system and is said to "straddle" the pipeline.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gaz naturel et dérivés
  • Exploitation commerciale (Pétrole et gaz naturel)
DEF

Usine de traitement de gaz naturel, située le long d'un réseau principal de transport du gaz, qui extrait les LGN du gaz circulant dans le réseau.

DEF

Usine construite le long d'une canalisation ou à cheval sur une canalisation.
