Riedl, R G

Consumers' Gas Co., Ont., recently built its first LNG satellite peakshaving plant after evaluating the alternative methods of increasing the peak supply to towns in the Ottawa Valley served by a 125-mile, 8-in.-diam pipeline. The plant operates in two modes: for peakshaving, ambient vaporizers provide gas to the local intermediate-pressure distribution system at a sendout pressure of 50-60 psig; for emergency standby service, high-pressure LNG pumps and an indirect vaporizer (using a hot water-glycol mixture as the heat-transfer medium) discharge gas into the transmission pipeline at 500 psig. A single 1190-bbl (50,000-gal) storage tank at the site accepts truckload shipments of LNG from Gaz Metropolitan, Inc.'s Montreal LNG plant. During a 25-day test period in July 1979, the peakshaving plant sent out a total of 64.48 million CF of gas.
