However, it is not yet ready to use. It is raw gas that has to be processed before it can be transported to the market. The composition of the natural gas produced by our shareholders varies depending on the type of deposit and the depth. Natural gas usually consists mainly of methane. In addition, there are proportions of the higher hydrocarbons ethane, propane and butane as well as the non-flammable gases carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Depending on the deposit, the natural gas produced can also contain sulfur compounds. In addition, water in the form of reservoir water and condensation water is transported to the surface with the gas flow. In this state, the raw gas cannot be fed into long-distance pipelines, as corrosion and blockages would result. The natural gas must be freed from undesired accompanying substances and dried. This takes place in gas drying systems on the drilling site or at central collection points. We are continuing the processing started by the producers at the drilling site. For this purpose, additional separators for solids and liquids are installed on our mixing and distribution stations. This also removes the last residues of unwanted gas accompanying substances. LARGE MIXING MACHINE The market stipulates precise rules with regard to the quality of the gas. Depending on the calorific value, natural gas is divided into two groups: natural gas H (high gas) and natural gas L (low gas). The "Wobbe index" provides information about the quality of fuel gases. It considers the calorific value and density of the natural gas in order to guarantee a constant load on the end customer's gas consumption facilities (e.g. industrial company, power plant or household). Wir führen die Gasströme aus den vielen unterschiedlichen Feldern über unser Leitungssystem in Misch- und Verteilerstationen so zusammen, dass L-Gas-Qualität mit einem Wobbeindex von 10,5 bis 13,0 kWh/m3 erreicht wird. Das so konditionierte Erdgas ist damit bereit für seinen Weg in den Markt.
