Within natural gas distribution, the demand for accurate and timely data has never been greater. Companies are under pressure to meet increasingly stringent regulations and improve operational efficiency.
To comply with CFR 49 Part 192, gas distribution companies must install recording gauges on any distribution system supplied by more than one district pressure regulating station. These gauges are often placed at the end of a distribution main where low pressures can be challenging or in high consequence customer areas affected by limited access or seasonal load swings.
SCADA-enabled loggers provide daily insights that help operators identify maintenance needs caused by integrity issues, seasonal changes or low pressure. However, high quality data is only produced when the instrumentation is supported by a reliable and consistent power source. Power brownouts or unstable power supplies can lead to poor-quality data or gaps in data, forcing teams to spend time and resources troubleshooting whether the issue lies with system integrity, instrumentation, or the source of power.
This is where the newly launched Sentinel LE makes a difference. Designed to deliver dependable power in the most demanding environments, the Sentinel LE offers:
Unlike solar or battery systems, the Sentinel LE runs on natural gas, making it immune to environmental challenges such as cold, storms, or shading. Its design also minimizes theft risk, a common issue with solar and battery setups.
The Sentinel LE is the simplest, most cost-effective way to ensure reliable, uninterrupted power for recording gauges and telemetry systems. With consistent, high-quality data, you can achieve regulatory compliance and optimize operational efficiency. The Sentinel LE achieves this all while providing the lowest total operating cost for power production.
