Record 1 2016-03-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Gas Industry
  • Calorimetry
DEF

A methane-rich gas conforming to certain standards, including minimum water content, minimum inert gases, minimum hydrogen and carbon monoxide content, and 1000 pounds per square inch gage compression.

DEF

A synthetic natural gas very close to natural gas in heating value and burning characteristics.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industrie du gaz
  • Calorimétrie
CONT

Avec son haut pouvoir calorifique, le gaz de pipeline paraît le plus intéressant des gaz de combustion, car il a l'avantage de pouvoir se substituer au gaz naturel dans les réseaux de transport et de distribution.

Record 2 2016-02-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Natural Gas and Derivatives
  • Gas Industry
DEF

Gas which falls short of qualifying as pipeline quality natural gas by the inclusion of undesirable components such as free water, water vapour and/or high hydrocarbons in such amounts that they can condense at pipeline conditions.

OBS

wet gas: term and definition standardized by ISO in 2014.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gaz naturel et dérivés
  • Industrie du gaz
DEF

Gaz naturel impropre au transport par canalisation parce qu'il inclut de telles quantités d'éléments indésirables (comme de l’eau libre, de la vapeur d’eau ou des hydrocarbures lourds) que ceux-ci peuvent se condenser dans les conditions observées en canalisation.

CONT

On distingue des [...] gaz humides dont on peut retirer des hydrocarbures condensables soit par simple refroidissement, soit par des méthodes variées de dégazolinage.

OBS

gaz humide : terme normalisé par l'ISO en 2014.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Combustion et combustibles (Foyers)
  • Calorimétrie
CONT

Un traitement progressivement plus élaboré du biogaz est requis pour passer d'une utilisation avec combustible inférieur à une utilisation avec combustible supérieur.
