Out of the Blue – 10 things you should know about Blue-NG
Blue-NG is a leading pioneer in decentralized power generation using Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants based on gas pipeline networks.
1) The existing national gas network includes thousands of pressure reduction stations (PRS) where the very high pressure of the gas from gas fields and international pipelines is reduced to the much lower pressure of the domestic network. This pressure reduction requires heat to counter the inherent, and potentially damaging, cooling effect of the pressure reduction process. Currently, gas-fired boilers supply this essential heat.

| About CHiP |
|
The CHiP plant is a Combined
Heat and intelligent Power electricity generating plant.
It will be sited at a National Grid Gas plc gas pressure reduction station (“PRS”), which has a heat requirement as part of its normal process operation; this heating requirement will be met by heat recovered from the power generation cycle.
The process heat is required to counter the Joule-Thomson effect and to ensure that the bulk temperature of the gas remains within the range specified operationally by National Grid Gas plc.
