The recent discovery of the Marcellus Shale Gas Reserve has brought some new challenges for our operations. The heating value of the Marcellus Shale gas is much higher than what we have had in the past and is very inconsistent when it mixes with our other pipeline gas. Our pipeline has gas mixtures that range from very low BTU coal bed methane to normal transmission gas (about 1040 BTU) to very high BTU Marcellus Shale gas. We are experiencing BTU heating values changing from 980 to 1350 and Ethane levels changing from 1% to 16% in very short periods of time. This paper will show some of the BTU swings and how they affect our peak firing pressures, exhaust emissions, exhaust temperatures, and fuel rates. It also addresses what is being done to stay in emission compliance and to protect the equipment when these high BTU swings happen.
