Este artículo presenta conocimientos, entre la academia y la experiencia, propios de la ingeniería aplicada al manejo del gas natural, atendiendo la realidad del país y el interés expresivo de los docentes y estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional por integrarlos en la actividad corriente de estudios, especializaciones, proyectos de grado, investigación de productos, ingeniería de procesos y control ambiental. Ilustra definiciones básicas y los usos del gas dentro del modelo de recuperación de productos licuables y la masificación para uso como combustible. Incluye una guía de algunos productos químicos que derivan del gas natural, no obstante que el destino hacia materia prima petroquímica, aunque deseable, es secundario en las prioridades de la estrategia establecida de aprovechamiento de las reservas probadas de este valioso recurso de la economía nacional.
Por otra parte, expone varias normas como algunos estándar ISO disponibles en el ICONTEC que tratan sobre especificaciones de calidad y ensayos de laboratorio referidas especialmente al transporte por gasoductos y distribución comercial pero aplicables a todas las etapas de la ingeniería de los proyectos. Finalmente recomienda bibliografía referente al gas natural cuya disponibilidad en bibliotecas y laboratorios motivarían la participación de las diversas carreras de la Facultad de Ingeniería en las actividades profesionales de esta industria.
This work presents technical thinks to know, between academy and experience, for applied engineering to handling of natural gas. It is supported on national reality and expressive interest from professors and students of this University, in order to integrate them in daily activities as scientific studies, specializations, graduated projects, product research, process engineering and environmental works. It illustrates fundamental definitions and functional applications within the model for liquefied product recovery and massive usage as fuel gas. It includes a guidance to some chemical products derived from natural gas, even desirable, it is of second level in the implanted strategic hierarchy to take advantage of confirmed reserves of this valuable resource.
Moreover, it exposes various rules such as ISO standards that are available at ICONTEC with regard to both, quality specifications and tests for transporting natural by pipelines and commercial supply system, but applicable for all stages of project engineering. Finally, it recommends bibliography with regard to natural gas handling and processing, which availability at reference library and testing bench would motivate Engineering Faculty teachers and students to participate in professional activities which are proper of this industry.
