Abstract: High pressure natural gas is widely used in the gas transmission industry as a medium for starting reciprocating engines and gas turbines, powering various pumps and motors and supplying pneumatic instrument systems. In most instances, the decision to use natural gas instead of compressed air is based upon economics. Primary concern for conservation of natural gas and secondary concern for optimum energy utilization requires a reassessment of the alternatives. This paper will stress the thermodynamic implications and offer examples of the types of analyses which should be used in selecting such systems.
