Underground Gas Storage Fac n Perhaps I ca o? to s, a g measure You already know that natural gas is a natural substance. The Inčukalns Underground Gas Storage Facility is also a gift of nature, improved with the help of various technical devices. The underground sandstone layers were formed very long ago at a depth of 700 metres. Imagine! That is the height of a 250 storey building. Natural gas is pumped in and out of there with special pumps. In summer when less gas is used, the Inčukalns Underground Gas Storage Facility accumulates enough gas for the whole winter. When gas is pumped out of Inčukalns storage, it is purified and dried because underground it gets moist. On the way to your home it is treated with a special substance – an odorant – so you can smell the gas should it leak, unburned, into your home and pose a danger to you. Gas travels to your home through underground pipelines which are built to reach very many Latvian towns. Gas-tig ht clays Sandston e Gas-tight rocks Gas is useful for everything that needs the heat created by its burning. On the one end of the scale gas is used for such small things as the boiling of tea, coffee and soup as well as the baking of bread in your kitchen. On the other end of the scale it is used to heat cities by means of centralized urban heating systems, and to heat factories and plants. Even glass, for instance, is manufactured using gas. Almost any item at your home has been produced using the heat of gas combustion because natural gas is an economical and environment-friendly type of fuel. , r too ecial odou I have a sp n’t I? o d UE GL There is a gas meter at every apar tment, house or factory where natural gas is used . It measures how much gas you have consume d in order to find out how much you have to pay. Me? I’ coun m just ting… Some Latvian towns, villages and farms do not have access to the natural gas pipeline network. This is where liquefied gas in cylinders comes in handy. Such gas is not brought to Latvia through pipelines – it arrives by train or ship. In Latvia it is filled into the bright-red gas cylinders, which you can buy at specialized gas retailers. If you want your kitchen to always shine and glitter, equip it with a gas stove because gas does not generate dust and soot while burning. And you’ll be able to make food much more quickly. Gas does not pollute the environment – neither you, nor plants are harmed by its combustion. And so, it causes no harm at all to nature. PROPANE BUTANE Be careful when using gas! are Always make sure that the stove switches ied completely turned off after use. If using liquef d off as gas, the switch at the cylinder must be turne when in well. Never leave a gas stove unattended the uish exting may pot a from h use. A water splas the flame. The unburned gas will then leak into room and present a danger to you. den to keep toys and other inappropriate forbid It is used as items on a gas stove. An oven must not be . a shelf or a compartment for storing things a friend If you use gas inattentively, it may turn from , but into an enemy and harm not only your home also yourself. If you are sensible and cautious when using gas, everything will be fine. If your parents buy a new gas stove, remind them that only certified technicians are allowed to connect it to the pipeline. If you ever smell gas while at home or visiting friends, immediately call 114! This the emergency service number. GAS EMERGENCY SERVICE Dear children, parents, teachers! The heroes and idols of today’s children live in the world of cartoons and comics. Children eagerly, and readily, learn good things from their idols. Inspired by that, we have added in our booklet a few new heroes and tasked them with teaching the main rules of the safe usage of natural gas to primary grade school children. What could be better than turning a school lesson on the safe use of environmentally friendly fuels into an exciting story which evokes a smile from both young and adult readers alike? Pleasant reading! Yours,
