한국가스공사에서 건설중이거나 관리중인 천연가스 주배관의 길이는 날로 크게 증가하고 있다. 이배관의 건전성확보를 위한 배관 재료물성 및 용접부위 특성 평가를 다양하게 실시하였다. 그 결과 현재 사용중인 배관은 모재와 각종 용접공정에 의한 용접부위의 기계적 특성이 각종 규격에서 제시하고 있는 권고치를 초과하는 높은 안전성을 보이고 있으며, 금속 조직 및 강도학적인 측면에서 충분한 건전성을 확보하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

우리나라는 석유가 나지 않는 비산유국으로서 거의 모든 에너지 자원을 막대한 외화를 지급하여 수입하고 있는 실정이다. 이렇게 수입되는 에너지원중에서 대기 오염 등의 환경문제가 대두되면서 액화 천연가스가 청정에너지로 두각을 나타내게 되었으며, 국내에서는 도시가스로 보급되어 수요가 점차적으로 계속 증가하고 있는 추세이다 기체상태로 기화된 천연가스는 일반 가정이나 산업체에 관로(pipe line)를 통하여 공급되는데, 이들 가스배관은 대부분 지하에 일정한 깊이로 매몰되어 설치된다.(중략)

This study is a numerical study using commercial simulation program GT-Power on 1.5MW diesel engine for power generation. Performance comparison has done for diesel operation with dual fuel operation for different engine load(50%, 75%, 100%) using the target engine model with additional gas injection system. Effect of using Hi-sene, which is actually being used in island area, instead of diesel was also studied. As a result, under 60% natural gas with diesel condition, BSFC was increased by 32% without modifying system. There was almost no change for natural gas/Hi-sene condition compared with natural gas/diesel condition. Decrease of burned fuel fraction was the main reason of these phenomena. After optimizing system, BSFC was improved by 2%.

As a rocket propellent of hydrocarbon fuels, the characteristics of liquefied natural gas was evaluated with the viewpoint of the constituents and content, the cooling performance as a coolant, and characteristic velocity and specific impulse as parameters of the engine performance. Content of methane was a principal factor to determine the characteristics as a rocket propellant and more than 90% of it was needed as a fuel and coolant in the regenerative cooled liquid rocket engine. Some constituents of the liquefied natural gas can be frozen by the pre-cooling of the pipe lines, therefore they can be a factor disturbing the normal working of engine. In case the content of methane is around 90% in the liquefied natural gas, a normalized stoichiometric O/F mixture ratio of 0.75 is suggested for a nominal operation condition to get the maximum specific impulse and characteristic velocity.

In order to utilize natural gas (NG), one of the clean energy sources in next-generation, as a fuel for vehicles, it is important to store natural gas with high density. To store NG by adsorption (ANG) at room temperature and at relatively low pressure(35~40 atm) is safe and economical compared with compressed NG and liquefied NG. However, so far no adsorbent is reported to have adsorption capacity suitable for commercial applications. Nanoporous materials including metal-organic frameworks can be potential adsorbents for ANG. In this review, physicochemical properties of adsorbents necessary for high adsorption capacity are summarized. Wide surface area, large micropore volume, suitable pore size and high density are necessary for high energy density. Moreover, low adsorption-desorption energy, rapid adsorption-desorption kinetics and high delivery are needed. Recently, various efforts have been reported to utilize nanoporous materials in ANG, and it is expected to develop a nanoporous material suitable for ANG.

In this study, diesel/natural gas dual-fuel engine was studied numerically using DoE method. The engine is CI engine for power generation and modelled by 1-D simulation GT-power. The combustion and emission characteristics were analyzed as a function of IVO, IVC and the ratio of natural gas to total fuel enegy. As the proportion of natural gas increases, the BSFC(Brake specific fuel consumption) is increased and BSNOx(Brake specific NOx) is decreased. If specific valve timing to improve the BSFC is applied to the engine, the BSFC is decreased by 1% and simultaneously BSNOx is decreased by 36%.

Intentional releases occur frequently during maintenance in gas supplying companies, which may result in unpleasant odors, and the possible mistaken belief of a gas accident. Therefore, this study developed a chemical process for effective odorant removal in natural gas using an active chemical that is released intentionally during maintenance and inspection. To develop an effective treatment process for removing the odorant from released natural gas, the effluent concentrations of the odorant in the released gas were measured after a chemical oxidation reaction with a sodium hypochlorite solution in a compact gas scrubbing equipment newly devised in this study. The device was based on a mixed gas vent after the solution inject odorant in the gas through the energy of the venting gas. The cascade combination of a venturi pipe and mixing chamber was developed to remove the odorant effectively from the purposely-released natural gas using an oxidative reaction between the mercaptan compounds (odorant) and the sodium hypochlorite solution. On the other hand, the developed method could be applied limitedly to a relatively small gas release from a low-pressure source. Further studies will be needed to apply the developed process to a large-scale gas release from a high-pressure source.

Demand of the clean and convenient natural gas has continuously increased with recognizing of the environment problem since liquefied natural gas was introduced in Korea. Clean fuel natural gas was supplied to each city through high tensile strength pipeline connected by welding. Grades of pipeline were divided into the high and middle pressure according to supply pressure. Pipeline was welded mainly SMA welding process due to its easy handling, the other welding process was adopted according to the constructing condition. We were examined on the microstructure variation and mechanical properties of weld metal for high pressure pipeline, API 5L X-42.

The Korean government has tried to introduce pipeline natural gas from Russia, instead of liquefied natural gas from Middle East Asia since 1990s. While this energy cooperation in North East Asia has been discussed in real politics and academic societies, the previous studies have shown the limits on policy implication because they just suggest necessity and possess the problems of weak theoretical frameworks. Therefore, this study tries to analyze the motivations, conditions, and stages for energy cooperation in this region from the viewpoint of economic integration theory. As a result of analysis, these countries in North East Asia have only one motivation, namely economic interest. On the contrary, they have several conditions including real benefit, complementation in economic structures, and convergence in policy goals. In conclusion, this study suggests that low level cooperation such as preferential trade agreement in the field of natural gas is possible and necessary in North East Asia.
