The Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) and Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) have col-lectively repaired around 887-kilometer faulty pipe-lines and rectified 1447,342 leakages in line with the government strategy to bring down the Unac-counted for Gas (UFG) ratio.
Besides, the companies’ experts inspected around 13,388 Town Border Stations (TBSs) and rectified 633 stations after finding them leaked, according to an official document available with APP.
The state utilities have installed Electronic Volume Corrector (EVC) meters at all industrial connections and high pressure commercial connections that cal-culate actual volume of gas consumption, maintain record of hourly/daily gas consumption and gener-ate tamper alarm in case of an attempt of magnetic interference with meter or other infrastructure.
Around 1,850 out of 3,655 industrial connections have been integrated with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) for remote monitoring of industrial consumers for timely identification of gas theft and measurement errors, if any.
To control the line losses and bring down the UFG ratio, the cyber locks are being installed at industrial meter stations to restrict the access of consumers to the meters and regulators to reduce chances of gas theft.
