Gas distribution network design

The key element of the gas distribution network is the gas hub, which enables gas to be distributed through the gas network to the gas collection points. The gas source is usually a cylinder, a cylinder battery or a liquid gas tank. The gas extraction points are the functions in the production process where gas is required.

The design of a gas network starts with a survey of the customer’s site and processes:

The design calculation phase

At this stage, the equipment of the site is defined on the basis of the plans submitted by the client. Each component is discussed, and it is ensured that the design flows, pressure drops and differential pressures are in line with the design objectives and support the production needs.

Gas centre supply systems

Each type of gas has its own defined supply system. When designing a gas centre, it is important to take into account the location, the space required and the possibility of maintenance operations from a space planning point of view.

Distribution pipelines for the gas centre

When designing and installing the gas distribution piping for a gas centre, it is important to consider several key areas. These include structural solutions, locations, supports, pressure management and maintenance access. In addition, documentation, materials used and the choice of pipe size and material will affect the performance and long-term operating costs of the system.

Risk assessment

Before each installation, a risk assessment is carried out and, if necessary, TRA documentation is prepared. Woikoski also includes a component-by-component breakdown in the tender, which supports a transparent and safe implementation.

Documentation

A project plan will be drawn up for each project, if necessary. All stages of the work will be agreed in writing and any additional work will be carried out in accordance with the Additions and Modifications Policy. Any separate documentation required, such as an NDA agreement, will always be agreed with the client.

Woikoski offers solutions for all aspects of industrial gases. We have been manufacturing and supplying gases to Finnish industry for over a century.
