After the transition from a municipal company to a special company, today AMG Energia is a joint-stock company owned by the Municipality of Palermo, which deals with energy, methane distribution and public lighting. The goal we are working on now is to offer a service to citizens with high quality standards.
The methane gas decompression and measurement substation was built to support the pre-existing substation to cope with the increase in flow rate that will be obtained with the extension and completion of the distribution networks envisaged in the methanization project of the City of Palermo.
Inside the cabin, the gas is filtered (i.e. cleaned) by a double-line filtering unit with a nominal diameter of DN 300 and measured through traditional G4000 turbine meters that verify the amount of incoming gas (about 81,000 Stm3/h). The cabin, consisting of 8 rooms, is designed to receive gas from the transportation network owned by Snam Rete Gas at a variable pressure between 12 and 70 bar. Six large gearboxes with a nominal diameter of DN 150 (three service and three emergency) form the heart of the system, i.e. the pressure reducing equipment. Downstream of the gearboxes , a pneumatic system was applied to control the pressure and output flow rate of each line. As a result of the strong pressure reduction (65 bar), the methane gas is cooled by more than 26°C and it is therefore necessary to heat it to ensure the proper functioning of the equipment. The hot water preheating system consists of 12 boilers with a 2700 kW atmospheric burner. The odorization system consists of two interconnected 265-litre tanks (one for storage and the other for service) and an automatic electronic injection system patented by CPL CONCORDIA. Two emergency equipment completes the equipment of the cabin: a diesel generator ensures the continuous operation of the system and an uninterruptible power supply supplies the electronic equipment.
The plant is equipped with a system, patented by CPL CONCORDIA, for self-regulation of the odorization rate proportional to the variation in the flow rate.
