Abstract: With liquefied natural gas, San Diego Gas & Electric Company is able to maintain service to customers in situations which would otherwise require an interruption. In liquid form, natural gas may be transported over the road in sufficient volumes to make its use practical as a temporary source of gas. San Diego Gas & Electric Company first used LNG for this purpose in September 1966 at Poway, California. The entire community of 1,700 gas customers was served by LNG while modifications were made to the pipeline feeding the area. Careful attention was given to the public relations aspects through contacts with community officials as well as the technical considerations to ensure complete success of the project. Through experience gained at Poway, it has been possible to optimize the equipment for each job. In one instance, a 6,000-gallon LNG transport vehicle was used as the gas source to serve several hundred customers. In another, a 42-gallon portable cryogenic tank was ample where one small commercial customer was involved. The use of LNG to maintain continuity of service offers may benefits to both utility and th customer.
