3. Problem
• huge variation in the composition and quality of the
natural gas in national gas grids (Wobbe Index [MJ/m3])
Causes
• blending of natural gas from different countries
• the addition of biogas
• periodical variations in both gas types
Introduction
4.
Monitoring the gas quality
Solutions:
We can determine the calorific value of the gas by:
- Combustion (Wobbe index meter)
- Correlation (Multiparameter system)
For both solutions we need a Coriolis flow meter
suited for accurate measurement of gas
- Flow
- Density
6. Multiparameter Flow Measurement System
Two ways of modelling:
(1) Composition determination via n equations with n unknowns (n ≤ 4)
(2) Wobbe index determination via correlation with the measured parameters
