Gas Act, 2001 (Act No. 48 of 2001)RegulationsPiped Gas Regulations13. Determination of gas specifications |
| (1) | The Gas Regulator may set a range of gas specifications, including maximum concentrations of gases that may be harmful, for each licensed activity where gas is comingled or is planned to be comingled from two or more separately owned sources. |
| (2) | The determination of gas specifications must be governed by— |
| (a) | the chemical composition of the gas involved; |
| (b) | the calorific values; |
| (c) | the combustion properties including the wobbe index; |
| (d) | the pressure and temperature of the gas at point of entry to shared systems; and |
| (e) | the relevant additional components that may be determined by the Gas Regulator. |
| (3) | The Gas Regulator may determine the technical and commercial feasibility of the miscibility of gases and the maximum quantities from individual sources to promote the interconnection and interoperability of systems. |
| (4) | Where it is not technically feasible or economically viable to make gases from different systems compatible, those gases must be conveyed in separate pipeline systems and stored in separate storage facilities. |
