Fuel Gas Calorific Value measurement

What is Fuel Gas Calorific Value ? 

Calorific Value is the amount of energy generated by perfect combustion of fuels . In the current Energy Saving environment it is important to make progress in improving energy efficiency at all levels . Using a Calorimeter at the Electricity Generation plants and Gas energy  distribution stations can help enormously to increase efficiency as well as reducing environmental impacts.

Uses of Gas Calorific Value measurement  

Variations in the Calorific value of LNG gas used on Power stations caused by an increased diversification of sources means it is important to measure and adjust the air / fuel ratio burnt in the turbines. This is becoming even more important with the increasing adoption of Shale and Bio Gas . 

Other Applications  include 

• Optimization of air-fuel ratio for turbines and furnaces
• Calorific adjustment of natural gas or LNG vaporized gas
• Calorimetry and composition analysis of steel by-product gas
• Calorimetric measurement of petroleum refined by-product gas
• Accurate calorimetry of natural gas containing hydrogen
• Optimization of calorific values in glass production, pottery production and food production
• Real-time calorific value (CV) fiscal metering * OIML R140 Class A Approval Pending
• Methane Number (MN) measurement : Control and prevent engine knocking
• Combustion optimization at waste incinerators
