The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
The act of operating extensive low-pressure gas lines which aggregate the production of several separate gas wells into one larger receipt point into an interstate pipeline.
Industry:Energy
The meter-dial positions of a metre index. The difference between two successive registrations indicates the volume of gas that has passed through the meter.
Industry:Energy
The use of fuels and equipment to generate or manufacture gas to supplement the normal supply of pipeline gas during periods of extremely high demand. This method prevents the expensive alternative of expanding pipeline facilities.
Industry:Energy
A device either adjustable or non-adjustable for controlling and maintaining a uniform outlet gas pressure. Spring Type, Adjustable - A regulator in which the regulating force acting upon the diaphragm is derived principally from a spring, the loading of which is adjustable. Spring Type, Nonadjustable - A regulator in which the regulating force acting upon the diaphragm is derived principally from a spring, the loading of which is not adjustable. Either of the above types may be further classified as follows: Main Burner Load Application - A regulator capable of controlling the flow of gas to main burners only. In such applications, the pilot is taken off upstream from the regulator. Main Burner and Pilot Load Application - A regulator capable of controlling the flow of gas to main and pilot burners. In such applications the pilot is taken off downstream from the regulator valve.
Industry:Energy
A method of depreciation whereby the asset is depreciated over an estimated life expressed in units of output rather than over an estimated life expressed as a period of time.
Industry:Energy
A system using ceiling panels as heating surfaces. Such panels can be heated by embedding hot-water pipes, warm air ducts, or electric resistance units in the panels.
Industry:Energy
Any party owning, controlling, managing, or leasing any gas well and/or party who produces in any manner natural gas by taking it from the earth or waters.
Industry:Energy
In DSM, an estimate of the possible energy savings that would occur because of normal market forces, without the implementation of a DSM program. Compare ACHIEVABLE POTENTIAL, ECONOMIC POTENTIAL and TECHNICAL POTENTIAL.
Industry:Energy
Secondary products which are obtained from the processing of a raw material and have commercial value. They may be the residues of the gas production process, such as coke, tar, and ammonia, or they may be the result of further processing of such residues, such as ammonium sulphate.
Industry:Energy
Stops or valves readily accessible and operable by the consumer, located in the piping system (to shut off individual equipment) or between the metre and gas main to shut off the entire piping system. Compare SERVICE STOP.
