Fluxys blending stations

High- and low-calorific natural gas

Fluxys has two transmission grids for two types of gas: a transmission grid for low-calorific natural gas (Slochteren gas) and a transmission grid for high-calorific natural gas (rich gas).

At the Lillo and Loenhout stations high-calorific natural gas is transformed into low-calorific gas to compensate for any deficits on the L grid during winter consumption peaks. High-calorific gas is transformed into low-calorific gas by injecting nitrogen into it. At the Lillo blending station, low-calorific natural gas can be enriched by adding high-calorific natural gas.

At the Ville-sur-Haine and Warnant-Dreye stations high-calorific natural gas can be downgraded by adding low-calorific natural gas.

Tips for using search operators

Use "quotation marks" to search for a series of words or a phrase in a specific order.

Boolean operators

You can find a group of words or a phrase by using the link words AND, OR and NOT:
known as Boolean operators, these words are used to combine terms in the search field.

  • AND: All the search terms must be included in the publication. Typing in Apple AND Pear will return publications containing both the word Apple and the word Pear.

     

  • OR :  At least one of the search terms must be included in the publication. Typing in Apple OR Pear will return publications containing either the word Apple or the word Pear or both.

     

  • NOT: The term preceded by NOT must not be included in the publication. Typing in Apple NOT Pear will return publications containing the word Apple but not the word Pear.
