Natural gas is the fuel of 21st century. As a progressive company, Gujarat gas ltd. has tried
and identify new trend & prepare itself for future. Gujarat gas group is laying the ground
work and preparing themselves for the future.
The Pathway
Gujarat Gas Ltd (GGL)always works towards a principal aim to supply natural gas to retail
customers, i.e. Domestic,Commercial/Non-Commercial, Industrial and CNG. GGL is playing
a vital role to cater tothe natural gas demand up to the last mile of the retail network. GGL is
envisioned to becomplementary to Gujarat State Petronet Ltd. (GSPL), which is evident from
the presence of GGL retail network starting at every point and location that the GSPL
network ends.
Core Philosophy
Gujarat Gas has charged network of over 16,000 km-long gas pipeline& providing 5.5
MMSCMD of Natural Gas to more than 10,80,000 domestic households, 11,900
commercial and non-commercial segments and 2,835 industrial customers. Gujarat Gas also
supplies natural gas in the form of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) through 230 CNG
stations across the state.
A City gas distribution means a distribution system in which CNG & PNG sold to
various segments by interconnecting gas pipeline & related equipments.
Currently the CGD segment constitutes 12 percent of the total gas consumption in
India. It is worth noting that this has been achieved in the past five years itself. It is
expected to reach a share of 20 percent by FY20.
The supply of natural gas for CGD is around 13 mmscmd in FY11 against the demand
of 15.83 mmscmd in the country.
Increasing demand from commercial and small industrial customers within the city
limits, in addition to the automotive and residential demand, are the key drivers of
growth in this segment.
Much of the demand in future will continue to be as a result of customers finding
natural gas to be more competitive than other fuels coupled with ease of handling and
lower pollution.
On the supply side expectation of large volumes of gas being made available within
the next few years, though both new domestic finds and imports, has created greater
compulsions for developing the CGD market. With an estimated demand of
45mmscmd by FY 20, CGD market is expected to grow by leaps and bounds.
The selection of design for CGD Network is based on the gas properties, required flow
rates, operating pressures and the environment.
A typical CGD Network shall comprise of one or more or all of the following:
The main Components of City Gas Station and their function is as follows –
1. Filtration Skid: Dust particle and liquid coming with the gas stream are separated
byhigh efficient filters in KOD.
Gas is maintaining same pressure from the inlet to the filtration skid.
After the filtration two streams are dividing from the main line using a header. Line
which is in function is known as active line where another one is called passive line
.
2. Pressure Reduction Unit: A pressure reduction valve is installed for the reductionof
the gas stream pressure from 60-65 bars to 25-30 bars.
Creep relief valve and Slam Shut off valve is being installed in this skid for the safety
purpose.
Odorization Unit
An Odorization unit is installed for addition of ethyl Mercaptan inthe gas stream.
This unit consists of mainly two cylinders of capacity of 200 litres, expansion tank
pneumatic panel, level indicator and a filter.
Ethyl Mercaptan boils at 35℃. In order to stable its liquid state, high pressure gas
blanket is provided above it in storage tank. During pumping, doping rate is
calculated in liquid state.
During maintenance all ethyl Mercaptan in the pumps stored in expansion tank.
DRS are the device used to reduce the pressure from 25 bars to 4 bars.
It is the interface between the steel grid network and medium pressure network. It is
located at various demand centers for domestic /commercial users and typically
consists of:
1. Gas Filter
2. Heater, if required
3. Pressure reduction (active / monitor combination) skid with minimum 50%
redundancy including slam shut valve for over pressure protection.
4. Inlet and outlet isolation valves.
The inlet line of DRS is steel pipeline and outlet is polyethylene pipeline.

• Site Briefing
Several possible pipeline routes are surveyed by surface mapping. The final route is selected
to optimize its economic design, construction and cost effective operation with minimal
environmental impact.
The strip of land along the pipeline route, where construction operations are performed and
the pipeline is allowed to remain is called right-of-way (ROW).
ROW width is kept as 5 m on left of Pipeline for storing the excavated soil and 15 m on right
side for movement of equipments.
Right-of-way agreement also permits free and uninterrupted access to the pipeline for regular
maintenance, repairs or periodic inspection during the operating life of the pipeline.
Pipelines are normally buried in a trench. The excavated soil from trench is neatly piled to the
side of the trench to facilitate rapid backfilling after the pipe is laid.
Line pipe is ordered from the mill, transported to the coating yard for coating and then
delivered to a storage location near the construction site. Delivering and aligning the pipe
joints along the pipeline route is called pipe stringing.
The Pipeline route may not be straight, nor is the terrain flat. For these reasons the pipeline
must be bent in the field to fit the three dimensional profile of the trench. Pipe joints are bent
prior to welding
4. Welding
After the pipes are strung along the right-of-way and bent as required, welding can begin.
Welding is done in several passes. Usually a minimum of three welding passes is required. In
usual welding, lead welders carry out a first pass after the pipe ends are properly aligned and
held with line-up clamps.
After a weld is made, it is examined to ensure integrity of the weld. For inspection a number
of non-destructive techniques are used,
I. Radiographic Test (RT): It is used to test welded joint. From RT we can find out
inadequate penetration without high-low, inadequate penetration with high-low,
inadequate cross penetration, incomplete fusion, and incomplete fusion due to cold
lap, internal concavity, burnt through, slag inclusion, porosity, cracks, undercutting,
accumulation of imperfection and pipe or fitting imperfection.
II. Dye Penetration Test (DPT): It is used to test root weld joint surface. It gives
indications of imperfection in root weld. Not all indications shown in DPT are
imperfection. Machining marks, scratches and surface condition may produce
indications similar to the imperfection. They are accepted according to API 1104.
III. Magnetic Particle Test (MPT): It is used to test welded joint surface. It gives
indications of imperfections but not all indications are imperfection. Sometimes
magnetic and metallurgical variations may produce indications similar to imperfection
but they are not relevant to acceptability. They are accepted according to API 1104.
5. Lowering in
Upon completion of welding, inspection of the welds, and a final holiday check of the
coating, the pipe is ready to be buried.
The pipeline is lifted by side boom tractors and is carefully lowered to the bottom of the
trench. It is necessary, especially in rocky areas, to put a pad of fine soil on the trench bottom
to protect the pipe coating from damage.

6. Hydro Test: The purpose of hydraulic test is to test strength of pipe line laid and to
find out any leakage in the steel pipeline. The liquid is filled in the pipe and
pressurised to 1.5 times its maximum allowable working pressure i.e. 75 bar, as our
maximum allowable working pressure is 49 bar. The test pressure is held for 24 hours,
7. Backfilling: the final operations in pipeline construction are backfilling and clean up
of the right-of-way. Immediately after lowering the pipeline, the trench is backfilled
with the soil that was excavated from the trench and carefully compacted all around
the pipe

MAJOR CHALLENGES
Labor issues
1. CNG Refuelling Station is a facility set-up for supplying CNG mainly as a fuel to
vehicles. The system receives odorized gas at certain pressure (19 Bar), through
transmission line and supplies the same to the customers/vehicles after filtration,
compression (upto 250 Bar) and check metering.
2. CNG is stored at compression stations which are directly connected with the gas
pipeline. Here the gas is compressed to a required pressure and aids fuelling. CNG
can also be transported to other retail outlets by cylinder trucks. These trucks carry a
number of cylinders which provide CNG to fuel stations which are not connected by
pipelines.
3. The system has major assets like, Odoriser Unit, CNG Compressor, Storage facility,
Dispenser, LCV/HCV Filing Point, Mobile cascade vehicle, Electrical Installations,
DG set and Air Compressor. The size, rating and type of the major and sub assets are
selected based on the pressure rating, capacity and other applicable criteria considered
for refuelling station for meeting the current and future customer potential, health and
safety of employees, customers and public at large, environmental protection and
complying the statutory, legal requirements, national and international technical and
safety standards/ practices.

1.Mother Station: A CNG station provided with whole set up (compressors, dispensers,
cascade etc.) along with a LCV filling point is known as a mother a CNG station.
2.Online Station: This CNG station has same set up as a mother station but LCV connection
is not provided for filling.
3.Daughter Booster Station: Daughter station provided with the compressor (known as
boosters) to compress the gas we are getting from the mother station are known as daughter
booster station.
4.Daughter Station: Daughter stations are established in those areas where laying a pipeline
is not possible. In that case gas is delivered from mother station to daughter station; via
mobile cascade van. The gas from mother station is filled in mobile cascade by a LCV filling
point.
CNG Compressor
Steel line of 2 inches dia. coming to compressor as a suction line (25 bars). Suction
line is provided with isolation valve followed by a strainer for removing of foreign
particles.
After strainer comes the suction filter of size 5 micron. From here the suction line is
divided into two lines, one is inlet to 1st stage of compressor and another one is
instrument line for operating actuator valves in the compressor.
Instrument line having a pressure of 25 bar it goes to a PRV which reduces pressure
upto 6-8 bars for the SOV which provide functioning of actuator.
Now the main suction line goes in Non Returning Valve (NRV) which provides only
forward movement of gas. From NRV it goes into Blow down Vessel. We have two
interconnected Blow down vessels. In these, gas is stored which is mainly used during
startup of compressor.
Now from NRV it comes to main PRV & then first Suction volume bottle. From here
it enters to compressor.
Valve and Piston means in other compressors valve and piston are provided separately
but here valve is provided in the piston so function of both is performed by piston
only.
The first stage is double acting stage; here compression is affected from both the ends
of the cylinder of the compressor. Then gas is sent to the intercooler for the cooling of
the gas.
Now gas from intercooler enters to second stage for the compression. Second stage is
single acting means one suction and one discharge. After compression it goes to
intercooler for air cooling of the compressed gas.
Finally it reaches to third stage (single acting) for final compression from intercooler
for the desired final pressure of gas.
At every stage, the gas pressure and temperature is:
Priority Panel
When High bank pressure of cascade decreased to set point, PLC will give command
to start compressor.
When compressor starts priority panel will decide the priority either to Dispenser
(Fore court) or Cascade through High bank/direct line.
If there is no any load / Vehicles at dispensing area, Priority panel will start filling gas
in Stationary cascade.
Cascade fill in a sequence of High, Medium & Low bank respectively and dispenser
will dispense the gas to vehicles in a sequence of Low, Medium & High.
When High bank pressure reaches up to set point (215 bar), priority panel will open
medium Bank and gas will starts fill in both Medium bank and high bank
simultaneously.
When Medium bank pressure reaches up to set point (225 bar), priority panel will
open low Bank and gas will starts fill in all three bank Low, medium and high
simultaneously.
Cascades
A bank of cylinders used for buffer stock of compressed natural gas is known as cascade.
Stationary cascade is used to store the gas when vehicle is not there at the dispenser then the
gas from compressor flows into a cascade.
Stationary Cascade: These are fixed cascades established on CNG station for the storage of
CNG. It has a direct inlet from compressor and outlet to line connected to dispenser.
Mobile Cascade: Cascade is mounted over an LCV and it carries CNG from Mother Station
to Daughter station or Daughter booster station as per the requirement.
