Natural Gas
Natural gas is principally methane, CH4, with some ethane (C2H6) and propane (C3H8), and impurities such as CO2, H2S, and N2 As with petroleum, most natural gas formation is due to the breakdown of prehistoric marine zooplankton.
Natural Gas
Produced by methanogenic bacteria produce methane while decompose organic material, and through catagenesis thermal decomposition of kerogen
Natural Gas
High temperature and pressure favor the formation of lighter hydrocarbons (natural gas)
Gas Fired Hot Water Boiler It is used to heat water for a hydronic heating system These boilers can be fuelled either with natural gas or propane (gas-fired) or they can burn fuel-oil (oil-fired).
Natural Gas Fired Boiler Natural gas is most common kind of fuel for firing boilers in North America cheapest heating fuel Why cheapest? normally pumped directly to homes and business through buried pipes
Natural Gas
Specific gravity compared to air : 0.59 Calorific value (MJ/m3) : 38 39 Flammability limits air/gas ratio % by volume : 5.3 14
ORSAT ANALYSIS
Orsat analysis of the gas mixture does not include water or SO3
air supply, mixing of air and fuel, proper temperature and time. If one of requirement of combustion is not provided such as does not supply enough air and mixing composition of air and gas will lead to produce carbon monoxide Control range composition by volume of gas and air is the actual step to avoid burn explosively and violently. The danger range of gas is between 8% 13 % and the safe range of gas is between 0 7 %.
INSPIRATOR GOVERNOR
Low-pressure type of gas burner, gas and air are mixed at one point and then supplied to several burners
Combustion Products
Natural Gas is the cleanest fossil fuel. The main products of combustion of natural gas are carbon dioxide and water vapor. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activities. Carbon dioxide is naturally present in the atmosphere as part of the Earth's carbon cycle (the natural circulation of carbon among the atmosphere, oceans, soil, plants, and animals). Human activities are altering the carbon cycle
Combustion Products
Other by- products include nitrogen oxides , sulfur dioxide,, carbon dioxides, carbon monoxide Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is one of a group of highly reactive gases known as "oxides of nitrogen," or "nitrogen oxides (NOx)." In addition to contributing to the formation of ground-level ozone, and fine particle pollution, NO2 is linked with a number of adverse effects on the respiratory system. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is one of a group of highly reactive gasses known as oxides of sulfur. SO2 is linked with a number of adverse effects on the respiratory system. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless and toxic gas
Environmental Impacts
Natural gas is thus a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide due to the greater global-warming potential of methane. Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the atmosphere causing global warming. a given quantity of methane has 62 times the globalwarming potential of carbon dioxide over a 20-year period, 20 times over a 100-year period and 8 times over a 500year period
CO2 EMISSIONS
According to the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, in 2004, natural gas produced about 5.3 billion tons a year of CO2 emissions, while coal and oil produced 10.6 and 10.2 billion tons respectively. According to an updated version of the Special Report on Emissions Scenario by 2030, natural gas would be the source of 11 billion tons a year, with coal and oil now 8.4 and 17.2 billion
