Natural Gas

Natural gas components:

Natural gas consists of a mixture of hydrocarbons consisting mainly of saturated light paraffin such as methane and ethane, which are gases in weather conditions. Natural gas may also contain some other hydrocarbons, such as propane, butane, , Hexane, and other gases that are normally associated with hydrocarbon gases in the natural gas mixture: nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and some noble gases such as helium, argon, and water vapor.

Natural gas:

A hydrocarbon compound composed of plankton; microorganisms such as algae, organic matter from plants and animals, and other primates, formed under the influence of extreme pressure and heat under temperatures of more than 150 ° C in the layers of the Earth, the sea or sedimentary oceans for thousands of years Depth up to six thousand meters. A gas has no odor and no color, and the odor from which only some additives are added to it to distinguish it. It is lighter than air. It is volatile and ignites if it is exposed to a heat source such as flame or electricity. It is placed in sealed cylinders. -85% to prevent explosions and any human or material damage, and is an alternative source of oil, which is considered the lowest cost, highest quality and clean environment.

Types of natural gas:

• Methane ranges between 70% -100%.
• Ethane is between 1% and 10%.
• Peruvian is a very small percentage.

The benefits of natural gas:

It is an economic wealth, which provides a high material income per capita, and increases the standard of living, and the state has to improve its economy and strengthen its strength. Natural gas is one of the safest alternative energy sources. Limits the pollution of the audio, because the process of transporting gas is done by equipment located in the ground. Prevents environmental pollution; because it is a clean energy source. The United States of America has taken natural gas as an alternative to coal; it is cleaner in 1952 and now accounts for a quarter of the energy consumed. Qatar has a significant position in LNG production, with an estimated production of 23 billion cubic feet per day. The Chinese take natural gas as a means of extracting salt from the sea. Natural gas is used in various biological activities, such as cooking, heating, and water heating. The factories rely on it for the work of their machines, as fuel for cars and gas for refrigerators.

It is used in power plants, where gas is burned and the energy generated by electricity generation is used, which can not be dispensed with in modern times. It forms fossil fuels and contributes to the manufacture of steel and plastics. Cement is made of it. Desalination of seawater. Enter into the chemical industry and vehicle spare parts. Separation of oil components from each other through the energy generated by burning gas. Enter into the textile and garment industry. Used in the manufacture of detergents such as soap and others, paints, insulation materials, cassettes. Many companies have moved to make cars using natural gas. These include Mercedes, Scania, Man, Volvo, General Motors, Fiat, Toyota and many more.
