on biometan, the way to measure the quality of biomethane and biomethane

supplied to the transmission system or distribution system of underground

gas reservoirs



The Ministry of industry and trade shall be determined according to § 53 para. 1 (b). (j)), and

k) Act No. 165/2012 Coll., on supported energy sources and amending

Some laws:



§ 1



The subject of the edit



This Decree lays down the requirements on quality, odorizaci and pressure produced

biomethane and way of measuring the quantity and quality of biomethane in biomethane

biomethane production hub site to the transmission system, the distribution

system or underground gas storage.



§ 2



Biomethane quality requirements



(1) the manufacturer of biomethane, which produced biometan in the process of anaerobic

the fermentation of biomass by the legal rules relating to the types and

parameters supported renewable energy sources for electricity production,

heat or biomethane and determination and storage of documents, ensuring its

production to biometan in pass-through areas to the transmission system,

distribution system or underground gas storage meet

the quality parameters referred to in annex 1 to this notice.



(2) Biometan of the production plants, biomethane is connected to the underground gas storage

built in natural rock structures must be oblivious against

environment of the rock structures and may not cause any harm.



(3) in the case that is not followed any of the measured and evaluated

quality parameters of biomethane marked as measured on an ongoing basis, thus

means testing with a maximum time interval of 10 minutes,

the manufacturer shall ensure, through the measuring biomethane, evaluation and

closing device, which is part of the production plants, biomethane, automatic

stop the supply biomethane into the transmission system, distribution system

or underground gas storage.



(4) the renewal of the supply biomethane after it interrupted for reasons of

failure to comply with any of the quality parameters of biomethane referred to in

Annex 1 to the present Decree is possible based on the submitted proof of

the result of the lump sum of the measured parameter quality biomethane or

results from the continuous measurement of verifying compliance with this parameter

the quality of biomethane by the manufacturer and in agreement with the dispatching of the competent

of the operator.



(5) the average of the gross calorific value in place of, or in connection

each zone of the quality for the previous month exposes the

the operator in a way allowing remote access. The designation of the zone

the quality of that production will be connected, biomethane in the contract of

connection.



§ 3



Odorizaci requirements



(1) the biomethane in stations connected to the distribution system ensures

odorizaci biomethane distribution system operator. In stations

biomethane connected to the transmission system or the underground reservoir

gas odorization device does not.



(2) the biomethane in stations connected to the distribution system allows you to

manufacturer of biomethane distribution system operator dosage

odorization substance in the extractive gas pipeline "^ 1") owned by the manufacturer

biomethane.



(3) the produced biomethane Odorization shall not require a higher dose

odorization substances than the normal quality in the zone.



§ 4



Requirements for pressure produced biomethane



(1) the extent of pass-through pressure produced biomethane is determined to

fit the pressure conditions in the place of connection.



(2) the manufacturer measured value biomethane pass-through pressure at least once a

per second and measured data transmitted to inform the way

laid down by the Treaty of the connection

at least once per hour.



(3) the part of the plant producing biomethane is a security flap lock with lock

on pressure rise in the delivery location to the transmission system, the distribution

system or underground gas storage above the maximum permissible pressure

provided for by the Treaty on the connection, and reverse

check valve to prevent reverse flow of gas from the transmission system operator,

distribution system or the underground gas storage plant

biomethane at lower pressure of biomethane, biomethane production than the pressure in the

a transmission system or distribution system, underground

gas.



(4) in the production plants, biomethane, which is required to connect to a closed

part of the distribution system ^ 2) verifies the distribution system operator

on the basis of the data referred to in the application for the connection factory biomethane, whether

the value of minimum hourly subscriptions from the closed portion of a distribution

system over the past 3 years reduced the supply of other generating stations

biomethane or gas stations to which the contract was concluded on the

the connection to this part of the distribution system (hereinafter referred to as "the minimum

hourly subscription "), achieves the desired maximum hourly output

the plant. Biomethane production performance must not be higher than the minimum

hour closed parts of the distribution system.



How to measure the quantity and quality of biomethane



§ 5



(1) ways of measuring the individual quality parameters of biomethane are

listed in annex 2 to this Decree.



(2) the minimum frequency of measurement of qualitative parameters of biomethane

produced from biomass, divided into groups is given in annex 3 to the

This Decree.



(3) before the start of the supply biomethane from a new plant producing biomethane or when

change of technological equipment presents biomethane production manufacturer

biomethane to inform the measurement results of the qualitative

biomethane parameters, depending on the biomass in accordance with annex

No. 3 to this notice.



(4) in the case that in the production of biomethane uses biomass pertaining to

the various groups referred to in annex 3 to this Decree, the frequency of

measurement of a group with a higher number. If, for the production of biomethane

to use the biomass introduced in the groups with a higher number than has been so far

used biomass, biomethane by the manufacturer during the fifth week of the

the beginning of its use made all one-off measurements as in the

the commissioning of the production plants, biomethane and passes the results to the competent

the operator no later than within 30 calendar days of making the measurement.



(5) the Terms of measurement quality parameters measured on a one-off basis shall notify the

manufacturer of biomethane in electronic form to inform the

at least 15 calendar days prior to their implementation and allow competent

the operators participate in the measurement. Once measured values

quality parameters of biomethane passes manufacturer biomethane

to inform no later than 30 calendar days from the

measurements to be made.



(6) the manufacturer of biomethane passes to inform at least

hourly values of continuous measurement and data on the quantity

biomethane delivered to the transmission system or distribution system

underground gas storage in the manner laid down in the Treaty on

connection.



§ 6



(1) the manufacturer of biomethane will allow to inform design

control measurement in one lump sum of measured quality parameters

biomethane.



(2) the type of measuring equipment, which the manufacturer biomethane measures the amount of

the supplied biomethane, and conditions for the measurement of quantities are laid down by some other

law ^ 3). Before the start of the supply biomethane in transportation

system operators, distribution system or underground gas storage will ensure

the operator of the measuring equipment, which the manufacturer measured biomethane

the amount of biomethane, tamper-evident device.



(3) any measuring device for measuring the quantity of supplied biomethane and

to measure its quality parameters used for the calculation of

gross calorific value and their operation shall meet the requirements of another

law ^ 4). Measurement of single measurement of qualitative

the parameters of the biomethane biomethane for accredited manufacturer provides

the lab.



(4) the manufacturer will allow biomethane to inform the sampling

biomethane and checking of the measuring device for continuous measurement, the measuring

equipment quantity and pressure supplied by biomethane and control section

biomethane production device between the measuring device and delivery

place.



(5) in the case of connection to the transmission system biomethane production,

distribution system or through the underground gas storage

other production plants of gas measuring equipment for measuring the amount of places so

in order to separately measured quantities produced biomethane for each mill.
