The User shall notify the Operating Company of the LNG composition in the Cargo Information
Notice in accordance with the Terminal Manuals, including the physical properties such as
Wobbe Index, Gross Calorific Value, density as loaded, and density as predicted at time of arrival
at the Terminal. The data also shall include the actual composition and level of contaminants
(such as sulphur and oxygen) to allow the Operating Company to determine whether vaporized
LNG can meet the SRG Network Code specifications.
The LNG Quality Specifications, based upon the SRG Network Code specifications, are as
follows:
Tabella 1: LNG quality specifications (**)
GCV, Wobbe Index reference standards: ISO 6976:1995 for calorific values (combustion
reference temperature: +15°C, standard cubic meter +15°C @ 1,01325 bara)
(*): if Wobbe Index is inside the specification range GCV and single components compositions
are acceptable
(**): at the time of current revision, SRG is revising quality specifications due to change of
GCV/WI units from MJ to kWh. Please consider that 1 kJ/Sm³ 15°/15° = 0.0002775 kWh/ Sm³25°/15°
and 1 kWh/ Sm³25°/15° = 3603.6 kJ/Sm³15°/15°. Once official specifications will be issued, present
Manual will be revised accordingly.
