The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
The storage facilities, other than underground storage, that are an integral part of a distribution system, i.e., on the distribution side of the city gate, whether for manufactured, mixed, natural, liquefied petroleum or liquefied natural gases.
Industry:Energy
A controlled process of reacting coal, steam, and oxygen under pressure and elevated temperature. The crude gas is purified and has a low heating value. Subsequent catalytic upgrading can be employed to produce high-Btu pipeline grade gas.
Industry:Energy
A mechanism designed to recover Order No.500 take-or-pay buyout and buydown costs. See EQUITABLE SHARING MECHANISM.
Industry:Energy
A steel cable or cables strung between two supports and sagged to the point of minimum tension for a given evenly distributed load. Used to support a heavy electrical cable, gas main or other load which is not designed to be self-supporting and is too heavy to be carried by a normal messenger wire strung with minimum sag.
Industry:Energy
An organization sponsored by a number of U.S. gas companies to investigate new sources of supply and new uses (applications) for natural gas.
Industry:Energy
Historically, a combination of warm-air heating and radiator heating; the term is also used for other combinations such as hot water-steam, steam-warm air, as well as gas heat-electric cooling.
Industry:Energy
Removal of impurities from a gas or vapor by passing the gas through water or other liquid which retains or dissolves the impurity.
Industry:Energy
Series of numbers preferentially selected for standardization purposes. They are defined in "American National Standard Preferred Numbers, ANSI Z17.1-1958."
Industry:Energy
The geological name of that stratum in the earth's crust within which the storage reservoir is located.
Industry:Energy
The storage of gas underground in porous and permeable rock stratum, the pore space of which was originally filled with water and in which the stored gas is confined by suitable structure, permeability barriers, and hydrostatic water pressure.
