The measured data acts as input for the novel and patented correlative model developed by Prof Shouten en Dr Michels of the Van Der Waals laboratory in Amsterdam The model itself is based on the S GERG AGA 10735 USER 002 Page 5 of 30 ELSTER Instromet 8 and ISO 12213 natural gas databases and is therefore applicable to an extremely wide range of natural gases Thereby since mixtures of natural gases behave like a single natural gas the EnSonic is able to handle these mixtures as well The model is based on the fact that for natural gases the ratio between the hydrocarbons is a function of the heating value of the gas only Therefore the heating value and the composition of the gas can be determined using an iterative approach Since the model is based on a database for generic natural gases the system cannot be used for artificial mixtures of gases or natural gases blended with high concentrations of single component gases The output of the model is an intermediate or inferred composition which has the same gross parameters as the natural gas being analyzed Since the concentration of the individual components in the intermediate composition may differ slightly from their actual concentration the intermediate composition is not available to the user of the system However it should be kept in mind that the model has been designed to determine the gross parameters of the natural gas with high accuracy Fin
