Study Notes
City Gate Station (CGS)
- Custody transfer occurs from the transmission company to the distribution company at the CGS.
- Functions include filtration, pressure reduction, custody transfer metering, odourization, and preheating of natural gas if necessary.
- Key components consist of inlet/outlet valves, filters, separators, metering skid, heaters, pressure reduction skid, slam shut off valves, creep relief valves, and odourization equipment.
- The CGS is strategically located at the main tap-off point of the transmission line.
- Contains high-pressure transmission pipeline inlet supply and essential monitoring and control systems.
- The pressure reduction facility features pressure regulators with standby units, each equipped with slam-shut protection.
Gas Pipeline Network
- City or local natural gas distribution involves an interconnected network of pipelines for transporting gas from high-pressure transmission mains to medium-pressure distribution grids.
- Supports domestic, commercial, and industrial premises along with CNG stations in a defined geographical area.
- The value chain includes multiple segments: PNG Industrial, PNG Domestic, and CNG.
Pipeline Pressure Specifications
- High-pressure transmission mains operate between 40-100 bar for industrial use.
- City Gate Station pressure averages 38-40 bar, while distribution systems operate at 4 bar for residential areas.
- CNG stations function at 200-250 bar, while service regulators and pipelines operate at pressures ranging from 21 mbar to 4 bar and below.
Infrastructure Overview
- The pipeline network consists of a primary high-pressure system using steel pipelines (49 to 7 bar) connecting transmission pipelines to CGS and CNG stations.
- Secondary networks utilize medium to low pressure through polyethylene distribution systems, bridging DRS to service regulators (4 to 1.5 bar).
- Tertiary networks are built with GI or copper piping, maintaining low pressures under 100 mbar to connect end users.
Skill Development in CGD
- A 2024 Skill Development program is highlighted, focusing on technical aspects of City Gas Distribution (CGD).
- Emphasizes the importance of gas filtration, odourization, and effective metering in safe gas distribution.
