Natural gas distribution. Master plan for Kaunas City, Lithuania

摘要

This master plan from a Danish firm for the distribution of natural gas in the city of Kaunas, Lithuania is presented in the form of a short summary followed by a collection of detailed technical notes and data. It is noted that the pipes comprising the distribution network are in a state of advanced corrosion which promotes a degree of uncertainty with regard to planning. Economical calculations indicated a clear benefit from renovation of the cathodic protection system. There is a plan for the extension of gas sales in Kaunas. Training courses for Lithuanian technicians have been carried out in Copenhagen (Denmark). Institutional, market, technical and financial aspects of the project are dealt with in the series of technical notes. General conclusions and recommendations are given on the subject of the possible renovation of the natural gas distribution system in Lithuania. (AB) (2 maps.)
