Abstract:
The paper presents a new correlative energy measurement method developed under a joint project of Ruhrgas AG, Germany, and Nederlandse Gasunie N. V., the Netherlands. The paper mainly refers to the results obtained from a previous feasibility study proposing a method using as input parameters dielectric permittivity, speed of sound and CO2 mole fraction. On the basis of these input parameters, superior calorific value and natural gas composition can be determined. Total uncertainty envisaged for superior calorific value is 0.2 %. Initial laboratory tests confirm that the uncertainty envisaged can be obtained or is even better. The method is to be tested in the field soon.
