How do those Gas tower thingys work?

Answer 1

If you mean a gasometer, its a cylinder floating in water. As gas is pumped into it, it floats higher up. Its acting as a local reserve of gas, which is being fed in from the north sea and eastern europe and the middle east.

Answer 2

What's a Gas tower thingy?

Answer 3

The volume of the container follows the quantity of stored gas, with pressure coming from the weight of a movable cap.

Gasometers tend to be used for balancing purposes (making sure gas pipes operate within a safe range of pressures) rather than for actually storing gas for later use. Gas is nowadays stored in large underground reservoirs such as salt caverns. Often gas is stored in the summer when it is cheap and sold in the winter when the price goes up.

Answer 4

If you mean gas storage towers, the gas is normally liquified by cooling it to -163 degrees centigrade where it is known as liquified natural gas or LNG. It is about 1/614th of the volume in this form which allows for easier storage. The tanks are double walled for insulation. The gas is stored during periods of low demand and extracted when it is needed.

Answer 5

Basically the gas is heated. The gas rises up in the tower, different gases rise to different levels in the tower. That's ow they seperate the diffferent gasses. Propane, methane etc.

Answer 6

Gas goes in then the go up gas taken out they go down.

other than that I dont know

Answer 7

Like a distillation column? or what dude.

Answer 8

pumps

Answer 9

who cares
