ISO 13526 Determination of Total Gaseous Sulfur Compounds: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

The determination of total gaseous sulfur compounds (TGSC) is a critical test for various industries, including petroleum, chemical, and power generation. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has published the standard ISO 13526:2015, which outlines the requirements for the determination of TGSC in natural gas and other gases.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding the determination of TGSC is governed by international and national standards. In the European Union, for example, the European Commissions Directive on the Quality of Natural Gas (2009/73/EC) mandates the testing of TGSC in natural gas. Similarly, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established regulations under the Clean Air Act to limit the emission of sulfur dioxide from power plants.

International and National Standards

The following standards apply to the determination of TGSC:

  • ISO 13526:2015 - Determination of total gaseous sulfur compounds in natural gas and other gases

  • EN 12667:2001 - Natural gas - Calculation of calorific value, relative density and Wobbe index from the composition

  • ASTM D 6227-15 - Standard Test Method for Determination of Total Gaseous Sulfur Compounds (TGSC) in Natural Gas Using a Laboratory Sampling and Analysis Procedure

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The development and maintenance of standards are the responsibility of standard development organizations, such as:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

    • These organizations work together to ensure that standards are compatible and mutually recognized.

    Why this Test is Needed

    The determination of TGSC is essential for various reasons:

    1. Environmental Protection: The emission of sulfur dioxide contributes to acid rain, which can harm ecosystems and infrastructure.

    2. Air Quality: Sulfur dioxide emissions can also cause respiratory problems and other health issues.

    3. Fuel Efficiency: High levels of TGSC in natural gas can reduce fuel efficiency and increase energy costs.

    4. Regulatory Compliance: The determination of TGSC is required by various regulations, such as the EUs Directive on the Quality of Natural Gas.

    Business and Technical Reasons for Conducting this Test

    The determination of TGSC provides numerous benefits to industries:

    1. Risk Assessment: Identifying high levels of TGSC can help mitigate potential risks.

    2. Quality Control: Regular testing ensures that natural gas meets regulatory standards.

    3. Cost Savings: Reduced energy costs and increased fuel efficiency lead to cost savings.

    4. Competitive Advantage: Companies that test for TGSC demonstrate their commitment to environmental protection and air quality.

    Consequences of Not Performing this Test

    Failure to conduct the determination of TGSC can result in:

    1. Non-Compliance with Regulations: Non-compliance can lead to fines, penalties, and reputational damage.

    2. Environmental Damage: High levels of sulfur dioxide emissions can harm ecosystems and infrastructure.

    3. Health Risks: Air pollution from sulfur dioxide can cause respiratory problems and other health issues.

    Test Conditions and Methodology

    The determination of TGSC involves the following steps:

    1. Sample Preparation: Gas samples are collected, prepared, and analyzed using a laboratory sampling and analysis procedure.

    2. Instrumentation: The test is conducted using specialized equipment, such as gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

    3. Calibration and Validation: Instruments are calibrated and validated to ensure accuracy and precision.

    Test Reporting and Documentation

    The results of the determination of TGSC are documented in a standard report format:

    1. Report Content: The report includes the test method, sample information, results, and conclusions.

    2. Interpretation of Results: Results are interpreted in relation to regulatory standards and industry requirements.

    Why this Test Should be Performed

    The benefits of conducting the determination of TGSC are numerous:

    1. Risk Assessment and Mitigation

    2. Quality Assurance and Compliance

    3. Competitive Advantage and Market Positioning

    4. Cost Savings and Efficiency Improvements

    5. Legal and Regulatory Compliance Benefits

    6. Customer Confidence and Trust Building
