GAS NATURAL

DEFINICION

Es una mezcla gaseosa y combustible al igual que el petrleo, es un combustible fsil y se

deriva de la descomposicin de material orgnico depositado a grandes profundidades
por muchos millones de aos. Usualmente se encuentra acompaado del petrleo pero
tambin puede estar de forma aislada.

COMPOSICIN DEL GAS NATURAL

El gas natural es un hidrocarburo formado principalmente por metano, aunque tambin

suele contener una proporcin variable de nitrgeno 0.9%, etano 4%, butano 0.4%,
propano 1% y dixido de carbono 1.7%. El metano es un tomo de carbono unido a cuatro
hidrgenos 4 y puede constituir hasta el 97% De gas natural.

CARACTERSTICAS PRINCIPALES DEL GAS NATURAL

MAS LIVIANO QUE EL AIRE

El gas natural es entre 35 y 40 % ms liviano que el aire. Lo que significa que se

disipa en la atmosfera en caso de fuga, disminuyendo el peligro de explosin.

NO TIENE SABOR, COLOR, NI OLOR

El gas natural en su estado original es inspido e inodoro, es decir no tiene sabor,

no tiene color, tampoco tiene olor. Por ello se agrega un compuesto
(MERCAPTANO) que permite que las personas con sentido normal detecten su
presencia.

NO EX TOXICO

El gas natural no produce envenenamiento al ser inhalado. La razn que ninguno

de sus componentes (metano, etano, nitrgeno, dixido de carbono) son txicos.
De todos modos, deben tomarse precauciones en recintos cerrados ya que una
fuga muy grande podra desplazar el aire del recinto y producir asfixia (falta de
oxgeno).

ES MENOS IMFLAMABLE

En este caso es necesario definir algunos elementos para entender mejor estas
caractersticas:
 1. La combustin se produce con la presencia de combustible, oxgeno y calor.
Estos tres elementos forman el llamado tringulo de combustin. Si fallara
cualquiera de ellos simplemente no habra combustin.
2. Para que se produzca una combustin es necesario que los elementos
combustible y oxigeno estn en una proporcin correcta, la combustin
solo se produce si la mezcla aire gas tienen un 4.5% y un 14.5% de gas.
Esto significa que al existir una cantidad menor a 4.5% de gas en la mezcla,
no abra combustin.

Igualmente, si la concentracin de gas es superior a 14.5% tampoco se

producir combustin. La mezcla ideal de gas, para que se produzca una
composicin ptima se compone de 10% de gas natural y 90% de aire.

COMBUSTION LIMPIA

Al comparar diversos hidrocarburos con el metano (principalmente componente

del gas natural) se observa que su estructura molecular es de ms simple de todas
y presenta un bajo contenido de carbono. Al ser quemado genera menos residuos
de partculas, monxido de carbono, dixido de carbono u otros. Lo que convierte
al gas natural en un combustible ambientalmente aceptable.

PODER CALORIFICO

Corresponde a la cantidad de calor que emite la combustin de una cierta cantidad

de combustible. La combustin completa de un metro cubico de gas natural
genera alrededor de 9.300 kilocaloras.

UTILIDAD DEL GAS NATURAL

El gas natural se utiliza en variadas aplicaciones. Bien puede ser en residencias. Ya sea en
casas o edificios el rea comercial, como por ejemplo panaderas, restaurant,
lavanderas, etc. adems es utilizado en la industria, en el sector inmobiliario, en sistema
de climatizacin, atreves de aire acondicionado y calefaccin y en el transporte.
TRADUCCION EN INGLES
NATURAL GAS

DEFINITION

It is a gassy mixture and fuel the same as the petroleum, is a fossil

fuel and he/she is derived of the decomposition of organic material
deposited to big depths by many millions of years. It is usually
accompanied by the petroleum but it can also be in an isolated way.

COMPOSITION OF NATURAL GAS

The natural gas is a hydrocarbon formed mainly by methane, although it

usually contains also a variable proportion of nitrogen 0.9%, ethanol
4%, butane 0.4%, propane 1% and dioxide of carbon 1.7%. The methane is
an atom of carbon together to four hydrogens and it can constitute
until 97% of natural gas.

CHARACTERISTIC MAIN OF NATURAL GA

LIGHT MORE THAT THE AIR

The natural gas is between 35 and 40% lighter that the air. The that
means that he/she vanishes in the atmosphere in the event of flight,
diminishing the explosion danger.

NOT HE/SHE HAS FLAVOR, COLOR, NEITHER SCENT

The natural gas in its original state is insipid and toilet, that is
to say doesn't have flavor, he/she doesn't have color, neither he/she
has scent. Hence a compound (MERCAPTANO) is added that allows people
with normal sense they detect its presence.

NOT FORMER TOXIC

The natural gas doesn't produce poisoning when being inhaled. The
reason that none of their components (methane, ethanol, nitrogen,
dioxide of carbon) is toxic. Anyway, they should take cautions since
in closed enclosures a very big flight it could displace the air of
the enclosure and to produce asphyxia (oxygen lack).

IT IS LESS IMFLAMABLE

In this case it is necessary to define some elements to understand

these characteristics well:
1. The combustion takes place with the presence of fuel, oxygen and
heat. These three elements form the call combustion triangle. If it
failed anyone of them there would not simply be combustion.
2. So that a combustion takes place it is necessary that the
elements fuel and I oxygenate they are in a correct proportion, the
alone combustion takes place if the mixture air. gas has a 4.5% and a
14.5% of gas. This means that when existing a smaller quantity to 4.5%
of gas in the mixture, don't open combustion.
Equally, if the concentration of gas is superior to 14.5% neither
combustion will take place. The ideal mixture of gas, so that a good
composition takes place it is composed of 10% of natural gas and 90%
of air.

CLEAN COMBUSTION

When comparing diverse hydrocarbons with the methane (mainly component

of the natural gas) it is observed that their molecular structure is
of simpler of all and it presents a contained first floor of carbon.
To the burnt being it generates less residual of particles, monoxide
of carbon, dioxide of carbon or others. What transforms
environmentally to the natural gas into a fuel acceptable.

TO BE ABLE TO HEATING

It corresponds to the quantity of heat that emits the combustion of a

certain quantity of fuel. The complete combustion of a meter cubes of
natural gas it generates around 9.300 kilocalories.

UTILITY OF NATURAL GA

The natural gas is used in varied applications. Well it can be in

residences. Either in houses or buildings the commercial area, as for
example bakeries, restaurant, laundries, etc. it is also used in the
industry, in the real estate sector, in air conditioning system, you
dare of air conditioning and heating and in the transport.4

diminishing the explosion danger.
 NOT HE/SHE HAS FLAVOR, COLOR, NEITHER SCENT

The natural gas in its original state is insipid and toilet, that is
to say doesn't have flavor, he/she doesn't have color, neither he/she
has scent. Hence a compound (MERCAPTANO) is added that allows people
with normal sense they detect its presence.

NOT FORMER TOXIC

The natural gas doesn't produce poisoning when being inhaled. The
reason that none of their components (methane, ethanol, nitrogen,
dioxide of carbon) is toxic. Anyway, they should take cautions since
in closed enclosures a very big flight it could displace the air of
the enclosure and to produce asphyxia (oxygen lack).

IT IS LESS IMFLAMABLE

In this case it is necessary to define some elements to understand

these characteristics well:
1. The combustion takes place with the presence of fuel, oxygen and
heat. These three elements form the call combustion triangle. If it
failed anyone of them there would not simply be combustion.
2. So that a combustion takes place it is necessary that the
elements fuel and I oxygenate they are in a correct proportion, the
alone combustion takes place if the mixture air. gas has a 4.5% and a
14.5% of gas. This means that when existing a smaller quantity to 4.5%
of gas in the mixture, don't open combustion.

Equally, if the concentration of gas is superior to 14.5% neither

combustion will take place. The ideal mixture of gas, so that a good
composition takes place it is composed of 10% of natural gas and 90%
of air.

CLEAN COMBUSTION

When comparing diverse hydrocarbons with the methane (mainly component

of the natural gas) it is observed that their molecular structure is
of simpler of all and it presents a contained first floor of carbon.
To the burnt being it generates less residual of particles, monoxide
of carbon, dioxide of carbon or others. What transforms
environmentally to the natural gas into a fuel acceptable.

TO BE ABLE TO HEATING

It corresponds to the quantity of heat that emits the combustion of a

certain quantity of fuel. The complete combustion of a meter cubes of
natural gas it generates around 9.300 kilocalories.

UTILITY OF NATURAL GA

The natural gas is used in varied applications. Well it can be in

residences. Either in houses or buildings the commercial area, as for
example bakeries, restaurant, laundries, etc. it is also used in the
industry, in the real estate sector, in air conditioning system, you
dare of air conditioning and heating and in the transport.19
