Emarat owns and operates the largest natural
gas transmission system in the Northern Emirates. This system consists
of a compressor station and approximately 360Kms of underground pipework,
supplying 13 remote operated metering and pressure regulating stations.
Natural gas from the Sajaa Field is measured, compressed and distributed
to power stations and major industrial users, allowing environmentally
friendly gas to be used in place of liquid fuels.
Monitored and controlled around the clock from the Sajaa Control Centre,
the system is capable of supplying more than 300 million cubic feet
of gas per day and has the capacity to meet all customers' needs well
into the 21st century.
In order to meet the growing consumer
demand for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders in Dubai, Emarat
commissioned an LPG bottling plant at its facility in the Jebel Ali
Free Zone.
Current capacity is 40 tons per shift per day. Amounts of 25 lbs,
50 lbs and 100 lbs can be filled at an average of about 2000 cylinders
in each shift. Storage tanks of 300 tonnes capacity have been installed,
and provision has been made to store liquefied petroleum gas for bulk
users, such as hotels and owners of residential property.
Emarat Gas Distribution incorporates state-of-the-art
equipment. Safety is the prime consideration, with safety measures
meeting all relevant international standards. This applies to storage
and filling areas, as well as loading cylinders for distribution.
Other precautions include a tamper-proof, heat-shrink seal on each
cylinder.
