GasIQ methodology
One gas basis. Explicit assumptions. Screening-grade outputs.
GasIQ converts the user input to a canonical molar gas flow, then evaluates selected result cards from that common basis. The goal is fast engineering and commercial decision support with visible assumptions.
Calculation flow
user input → normalized composition → canonical kmol/h → mixture properties → combustion → unit conversion → selected result cards → report snapshot
Reference basis
- Nm³ uses the Normal reference condition definition.
- Sm³ uses the Standard reference condition definition.
- scf, MSCFD and MMSCFD use the US Standard reference condition definition.
- Actual volume uses the operating temperature, pressure and compressibility selected by the user.
Validation boundary
GasIQ includes regression validation and engineering reference checks for the public package. These checks support screening and decision workflows. They are not custody-transfer certification, fiscal-metering certification, certified market data, pipeline hydrogen approval or final design validation.
Use boundaries
- Not custody-transfer certified. Fiscal metering requires separately validated systems and site procedures.
- Dew point is not calculated. Hydrocarbon, water and acid dew point require dedicated phase/corrosion analysis.
- Hydrogen blending is screening only. It is not burner, turbine, pipeline, material, safety-code or regulatory approval.
- Engineering Estimate / Beta cards are approximations. Steam reforming cards estimate feed steam demand only and do not model equilibrium, methane slip, catalyst, heat duty, PSA or equipment guarantees.
- Indicative FX is not certified market data. Contractual/commercial decisions should use the user's approved price and FX basis.
