Diablo EZReporter 1.0

Natural Gas Analysis Module

The optional Natural Gas Analysis (NGA) module is designed to perform Natural Gas / Refinery Gas heating value and related calculations. The results from these calculations are available for reporting, monitoring, trend plotting, and exporting through the base module. The features present in the NGA module include:

Standard GPA/ASTM Calculations: Calculates Dry/Saturated/Wet Gross Heating Value, Real Relative Density, Gas Compressibility factor, GPM value, and Wobbe Index using GPA 2172-09 and ASTM D3588-98 (2003) standard calculations.

* "Wet" results can either be based on an actual measured water mole% of a partially saturated gas or for a water-saturated gas at a specified flowing temperature and pressure.

Physical Properties can be Easily Customized: The component list is completely customizable. Components can be added to or deleted from the component list, and calculation factors (Heating Value, Molar Mass Ratio, Summation Factor, and GPM Volume Factor) can be updated by the user either manually or using one of the standard physical property tables included in the software.

Standard Physical Property Tables: Standard component physical property tables are provided for the GPA 2145-03 and GPA 2145-09 Standards, and the GPSA Engineering Data Book (12th Edition, 2004).
Export to Text File: You can create custom export templates to save NGA results to text files for import into flow and measurement systems like Flow-Cal and PGAS.
Monitor Results with Alarms: You can use "Monitored Parameters" to set up alarms for critical parameters like the total un-normalized mole%.

Disable NGA Module: The NGA calculations can be disabled if you want to use the software only for general reporting, monitoring, and exporting of Agilent ChemStation, EZChrom or Cerity analysis results.
