Solving Two Problems with
One Technology
|
|
Technologies continue to evolve to
mitigate odor fade issues in newly constructed house piping carrying
natural gas downstream of the meter. Buildings prone to this phenomenon are
typically large newly constructed structures (multi-rise apartments
buildings, shopping malls, stadiums, etc.) that contain gas piping with
little load (usually cooking only). Additionally, older buildings are
susceptible to leaks due to aging fuel gas piping and resultant breakdown
of pipe sealants used on pipe threads over time. A break-through technology solution
developed in the UK utilizes an internal epoxy barrier coating for the
rehabilitation of metallic fuel gas piping in-situ, that
also has the potential to eliminate odor fade.

Con Ed Program to Comply with New York States PSC GHG
Emission Order
|
|
The Joint Utilities in New York
were ordered by the New York State Public Service Commission in May 2022 to
develop a methodology for determining the greenhouse gas emissions of their
gas systems. The Commission
directed that the scope of the inventory was to range from the wellhead to
the customer meter. The
utilities worked with the agencies to develop a methodology that could
reflect the increasing use of certified gas as well as reflect utility
efforts to reduce and to avoid distribution system emissions. This presentation will describe the
process that led to the final product, as well as the role that emerging
leak detection technologies may play in the future.
