INDUSTRIAL GAS INSTALLATIONS FOR NATURAL GAS - SPECIFIC FEATURES AND TECHNICAL SURVEILLANCE

Abstract In the scientific article, a classification of the types of industrial gas installations for natural gas and their elements is made, and the main requirements for them are indicated. All the requirements of the current regulatory documents have been considered, both in terms of their technical condition and for the performance of their technical surveillance. An assessment was made of the relevance of the current regulatory requirements in relation to the currently used technologies, technical equipment and elements of industrial gas installations. Possibilities for optimizing the processes of carrying out the technical supervision of industrial gas installations. A new approach to the practical performance of supervised activities is presented, as a way to introduce unified methodologies and procedures for technical supervision of industrial gas installations for natural gas.
