The Lisbon Group is pleased to announce the successful completion of the downstream network modelling activity for our client located in sub-Saharan Africa. The 50 km of pipeline distribution network modeled supplies domestically produced natural gas to approximately 40 industrial customers for power generation and process heat. Industries served by this downstream network include drinking water bottling, steel, glass manufacture, breweries, soap production and textiles. The activity included the development and documentation of the gas pipeline simulation, extensive on-site validation of the model results and training of the client’s personnel on the use of the simulation and modelling software to help build their in-house capabilities. Lisbon Group will continue to maintain an as-built simulation in parallel with those issued to the client to support planned pipeline network expansion and increasing customer demand.
