Natural Gas with its Future

20 per cent share of natural gas in the world energy demand is fulfilled. Where does gas come from? How safe or the environment agree, and they will be provided katadinai or our strength?

Scientists believe that over millions of years to accumulate in layers and animals gachapata dhansabasesa, plankatana, dust and mud, etc. are covered under the study. Including underground heat, pressure, and gradually it is becoming as a result of bacterial decomposition of oil, coal and natural gas, one of whom is said to fossil fuels or fossil fuel. The accumulation of gas in the bottom of the situation at the situation at the level of flawless rock it turns out that a large volume of gas ksetreaneka gas field, a few decades paryantaprthibite trillion cubic meters, and the total volume of the biggest gas fields in the direction of the row is the first in Russia.

 
How is gas found?
Satellite (Remote Sensing satellite), Global pajisanim System (Global positioning system), sound (Reflection seismology) and computer (Computer). Ultrasound is used in the medical science Seismology reflex test mataucu sound levels that are reflected back to the world stage. The sound waves to examine the structure of the channel is to know about computers. Bhaibretarera usually minor blast or the sound produced is sent inside bhustarera and three-dimensional images of the computer that it is an idea of ​​the potential gas fields. High pressure gas exploration in the sea air, or water vapor is sent to the bottom of the sea. Haidrophona reflects the pressure vessel through the device reached the study examines the potential gas field where the idea of ​​computers grows.

 
To be economically profitable gas and gas pressure must have sufficient amount of gas. Easy to measure gas pressure, but the total amount of gas to be determined relatively kathinaparimana assess a given method of measuring the amount of gas pressure gas pressure measured out again. If the pressure difference can be seen in a small amount of gas is higher than the pressure variations in the amount of reserves will be less.

Processing of Gas
After the extraction of the gas pipe were taken to the refinery or refinery for refining. The unexpected refinery mixed gas used in the gas such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, water vapor, etc., are separated. The distillation process to separate nitrogen gas from the gas hayaananya byabaharya valued, such as helium, propane butane, Ethel is different. So what is left of the natural gas. So we have all of the methane gas are used as fuel gas is methane. Independent methane, letters and odorless gas, and with a little amount of sulfur compound to secure dahyamithenake misye substance that is given. The pungent smell of sulfur gas emissions, primarily due to the blast occurred is unable to detect and avoid other fossil fuels such as coal or oil yayagyasa safe, clean and environmentally friendly.

 
The temperature is reduced to facilitate the transport of gas taralibhuta. Butane and propane taralibhuta petroleum gas or LP, G (liquefied Petrolium Gas) cylinders used for cooking or transport of propane hayabiutena and plastics, synthetic fibers, various types of solvents, and other materials are made.

How long will gas?
Ideas can be found in the future will have an additional 45 per cent of the current rate of gas to be used if you have more than 60 years, the use of gas is growing rapidly yabejbalanira puts our energy, run out of fossil fuels, nuclear and renewable or nuclear energy energy sources, such as suryarasmi, or wind energy to meet future energy needs can do? Time will tell.

Know More About Natural Gas (NG)

What is natural gas?
Natural gas is an odorless, nontoxic, gaseous mixture of hydrocarbons—predominantly methane (CH4). Because it is a gas, it must be stored onboard a vehicle in either a compressed gaseous or lique-fied state. Compressed natural gas (CNG) is typically stored in a tank at a pressure of 3,000 to 3,600 pounds per square inch.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is super-cooled and stored in its liquid phase at -260°F in special insulated tanks. Natural gas is sold in units of gasoline or diesel gallon equivalents based on the energy content of a gallon of gasoline or diesel fuel.

How and where is natural gas produced and distributed?
Natural gas is drawn from wells or extracted in conjunction with crude oil production. Biomethane, a renewable form of natural gas, is produced from decaying organic materials, such as waste from landfills, wastewater, and livestock. In recent years, 80% to 90% of the natural gas used in the United States was produced domestically. The United States has a vast natural gas distribution system, which can quickly and economically distribute natural gas to and from almost any location in the lower 48 states.

How is natural gas used?
Natural gas accounts for about a quarter of the energy used in the United States. About one-third goes to residential and commercial uses, such as heating and cooking; one-third to industrial uses; and one-third to electric power production. Only about one-tenth of 1% is used for transportation fuel.

Is natural gas safe for use in vehicles?
Yes. NGVs meet the same safety standards as gasoline and diesel vehicles and also meet the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) NFPA 52 Vehicular Fuel System Code. Natural gas has a narrow flammability range and, because it is lighter than air, dissipates quickly if released. NGV fuel tanks are strong and extremely puncture resistant.

What NGVs are available?
A wide variety of new, heavy-duty NGVs are available. The Honda Civic GX is the only light-duty NGV available from a U.S. original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Consumers and fleets also have the option of economically and reliably converting existing light- or heavy-duty gasoline or diesel vehicles for natural gas operation using certified installers.

How do NGVs work?
NGVs operate in one of three modes: dedicated, bifuel, or dual-fuel. Dedicated NGVs run on only natural gas. Bifuel NGVs can run on either natural gas or gasoline. Dual-fuel vehicles run on natural gas and use diesel for ignition assist. Light-duty vehicles typically operate in dedicated or bifuel modes, and heavy duty vehicles operate in dedicated or dual-fuel modes. A CNG fuel system transfers high-pressure natural gas from the storage tank to the engine while reducing the pressure of the gas to the operating pressure of the engine’s fuel-management system.

The natural gas is injected into the engine intake air the same way gasoline is injected into a gasoline-fueled engine. The engine functions the same way as a gasoline engine: The fuel-air mixture is compressed and ignited by a spark plug and the expanding gases produce rotational forces that propel the vehicle.

On the vehicle, natural gas is stored in tanks as CNG, or in some heavy-duty vehicles, as LNG, a more expensive option. The form chosen is often dependent on the range a driver needs. More natural gas can be stored in the tanks as LNG than as CNG.

How do NGVs perform?
Natural gas vehicles are similar to gasoline or diesel vehicles with regard to power, acceleration, and cruising speed. The driving range of NGVs is generally less than that of comparable gasoline and diesel vehicles because, with natural gas, less overall energy content can be stored in the same size tank as the more energy-dense gasoline or diesel fuels.

Extra natural gas storage tanks or the use of LNG can help increase range for larger vehicles. In heavy-duty vehicles, dual-fuel, compression-ignited engines are slightly more fuel-efficient than spark-ignited dedicated natural gas engines. However, a dual-fuel engine increases the complexity of the fuel-storage system by requiring storage of both types of fuel.

Uses of Natural Gas

Everywhere and everyone in the world use natural gas. After petroleum, Natural gas takes places in energy consumption.  Most of the energy we use comes from natural gas. The main use of gas is as follows:

Industry uses of Gas

 Most of the natural gas consumed in the world. Industry uses natural gas as a heat source to manufacture goods as well as an ingredient in fertilizer, photographic film, ink, glue, paint, plastics, laundry detergent, and insect repellents. Synthetic rubber and fibers like nylon also could not be made without the chemicals derived from natural gas.

Homes uses of Gas

 In the country many homes use natural gas for heating. Some use gas water heaters, stoves, and clothes dryers. Natural gas is used so often in homes because it is clean burning.

Commercial uses of Gas

Commercial use of natural gas is mostly for indoor space heating of stores, office buildings, schools, churches, and hospitals.

For making electricity

Natural gas is also used to make electricity. It is the second largest producer of electricity after coal. Natural gas power plants are cleaner than coal plants. Natural gas plants produce electricity more efficiently than coal plants.

Transportation fuel purposes

Natural gas is used as a transportation fuel. Natural gas can be used in many vehicles that have been modified with a special carburetor and fuel tank. Natural gas is cleaner and cheaper than gasoline and octane. Today, more than 500 million vehicles run on natural gas (CNG; compressed Natural Gas) in the world.

Know about Natural Gas

Natural gas is generally considered a nonrenewable fossil fuel because most scientists think that natural gas was formed from the remains of tiny sea animals and plants that died 300 to 400 million years past.  When these tiny sea animals and plants died, they sank into the bottom of the oceans where they were buried by layers of sediment and turned into rock. Over the years, the layers of sedimentary rock became thousands of feet thick, subjecting the energy-rich plant and animal remains to enormous pressure. Most scientists believe that the pressure and the heat of the Earth changed this mixture into petroleum and gas. Solid natural gas is a mixture of different gases. The main ingredient is methane, a natural compound that is formed whenever plant and animal matter decays. By itself, methane is odorless, colorless, and tasteless. A chemical odorant called mercaptan is added with natural gas for a safety measure and gas can be detected.
