Ambient Air Quality Standard

The rise of hydraulic fracturing techniques has fostered rapid growth of oil and natural gas (O&NG) extraction in areas across the United States. In the Denver-Julesburg Basin (DJB), which mostly overlaps with Weld County in the Northern Colorado Front Range (NCFR) north of the City of Denver Metropolitan Area (DMA), the well drilling has increasingly approached, and in many instances moved into urban residential areas. During the same time, the region has also experienced steady population growth. The DMA – NCFR has been in exceedance of the ozone U.S. National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) and was designated a non-attainment area of the standard in 2007. Despite State efforts to curb precursors, ozone has consistently remained above the standard. A growing number of atmospheric studies has provided an ever increasing body of literature for assessing influences from O&NG industry emissions on air quality in the DMA-NCFR. This paper provides 1. An overview of available literature on O&NG influences on the regional air quality, 2. A summary of the pertinent findings presented in these works, 3. An assessment of the most important pollutants and air quality impacts, 4. Identification of knowledge and monitoring gaps, and 5. Recommendations for future research and policy.

Biogas can be converted into treated biogas or synthetic natural gas, which can be blended into town gas pipeline network at a designed mixing ratio. Specific gravity and calorific value of biogas are adjusted to satisfy gas safety and quality standard. Carbon dioxide pressure swing adsorption is selected and applied for specific gravity reduction and calorific value enrichment. 95% nitrogen, defined according to the flammability plot, is mixed with biogas for tuning the calorific value at the end of the process end. Gas interchangeability of the gas mixture of treated biogas and town gas was predicted by using maximum combustion potential (MCP) chart and their maximum mixing ratio for safe use was indicated. Gas interchangeability of the gas mixture was tested to confirm the prediction. The South East New Territories Processing Facilities were designed and built according to the above principle, and has been in operation to convert biogas into synthetic natural gas successfully since 2017.

According to some forecasts, hydrogen will play a significant role throughout the world by 2030 as an energy source, the biggest benefits of which include not only being able to come from renewable sources, but thus storing the energy produced, which is not currently solved. The combustion of hydrogen does not produce CO2, only negligible amounts of combustion air, unlike methane. This will reduce GHG emissions associated with end-user equipment. In this article, the authors examine the amount of hydrogen that can be fed into the Hungarian natural gas network in accordance with the current gas quality standard, and then carry out a comparative analysis of the methane, the main component that makes up hydrogen and natural gas. The authors will study the exact effect of hydrogen content on natural gas-regulated devices and estimate the theoretical CO2 emissions available in the Hungarian residential sector at different rates of hydrogen.

Abstract Natural gas is a kind of high-quality and low-carbon energy and its demand is increasing rapidly year by year. The natural gas produced from the gas well contains some corrosive impurities like CO2, H2S, and H2O. Therefore, the gas needs to be purified in purification plants before it can be used. In the process of purification, the impurities in the natural gas will cause corrosion to the purification equipment, especially to the industrial pipeline, which will lead to perforation and leakage of the pipeline, and even cause poisoning, fire or explosion, and other serious safety accidents. In order to ensure the safe operation of the industrial pipeline in the purification plant, it is necessary to carry out effective inspection and maintenance measures for the pipelines. The traditional regular inspection method just inspects a certain proportion of the pipelines which are selected by on-site inspection personnel. But limited by technical level and work experience of the inspection personnel, some high-risk pipelines may be neglected. Therefore, some plants try to adopt risk-based inspection (RBI) to carry out a risk assessment and conduct a comprehensive inspection on high-risk pipelines, so as to improve inspection efficiency and reduce inspection cost. However, in practice, it was found that the pipeline risk levels are not in accordance with the actual inspection results. The reason is that the RBI method developed in the background of oil refining and chemical industry is not suitable for natural gas purification plants. In order to solve the problems, this paper analyzed the relationship between the influencing factors and pipeline corrosion behavior. The influencing factors include the impurity contents (CO2, H2S, H2O, and chlorides), pipeline materials (carbon steel and austenitic stainless steel), and service conditions (operating temperature, operating pressure and flow velocity). Meanwhile, the plant management status and maintenance factors were also considered as the influencing factors to pipelines. According to the analysis, a corrosion risk assessment method for the pipelines in the natural gas purification plant was developed based on fault tree and scoring method. Finally, the method was applied to the pipelines in purification plant to verify the accuracy of this method.
