NATURAL GAS SPECS SHEET NAESB（天然气 NAESB规格表）.pdfVIP

NATURAL GAS SPECS SHEET Fuel Providers and their large volume Customers (particularly Electric Utilities and possibly other End Users) are used to defining fuel requirements in the form of Spec Sheets. Attached, as an example, is a #6 Fuel Oil Quality Specifications table developed to conform to federal, state, and local regulations governing the generator (e.g., emissions compliance), operational requirements (e.g., type of generating and/or backend clean-up equipment), and/or any other constraints imposed on the generator. Other examples of Spec Sheets and standards lists are included. This document includes an excellent example of a Gas Quality Spec Sheet from Brazil (GasEnergia) and additionally, the regulatory standards behind it. With other generation fuels, the quality of the delivered product is a result of an agreement between the provider and the customer (the transporter does not generally have a significant input, if any). With Natural Gas, due to the nature of the product and the transportation mechanism, the quality of the delivered product is primarily determined by the pipeline. Utility generators have a need to know the expected range of quality of the fuel being delivered to them and ideally to have some control over the variability of that fuel to assure compliance with regulations, to protect their investment in generating equipment, and to be able to meet the needs of their customers in the most economic manner. Not only is there a potential for great variability in the quality of Natural Gas delivered to Customers, the standards and specs defined in pipeline tariffs tend to be vague, difficult to locate or extract from pipeline tariffs, and often difficult to comprehend. These difficulties are compounded when generators try to deal with the differences across pipelines as there is not even a standard format for describing the quality specifications. Customers would benefit from
