Features of the existing system

The gas distribution network is supplied with natural gas from the transport system of JP “Srbijagas”, with GMRS Subotica representing the point of handover of natural gas, where the consumption of natural gas for the city of Subotica is measured by a turbine meter with a corrector.
The gas distribution network, starting from GMRS Subotica, is entirely constructed from PE 80 polyethylene pipes, SDR 11, with a working pressure of 2.5 bar. A gas pipeline branch, dimensions Ø 400 x 36.4 mm and Ø 315 x 28.7 mm, connects GMRS Subotica to the gas ring encircling the city of Subotica. The gas ring is constructed from polyethylene pipes with dimensions Ø 250 x 22.8 mm. Within the gas ring, JKP “Suboticagas” also has two MRS units, namely MRS-3 and MRS Palić, which provide additional regulation of the working gas pressure in the gas ring, as well as a point for controlling and measuring natural gas consumption. From the gas ring, pipeline networks extend to all parts of the city. The gas pipelines are of various unified dimensions: Ø 20 x 3.0 mm (gas connections), Ø 32 x 3.0 mm, Ø 63 x 5.8 mm, Ø 90 x 8.2 mm, Ø 110 x 10.0 mm, and Ø 160 x 14.6 mm.
JKP “Suboticagas” possesses standardised and unified gas metering stations (MRS), type G-4 and G-6, which are called KMRS and are specifically for individual properties and specifically for apartment buildings. All larger-sized MRS are constructed according to project documentation in accordance with current regulations. The recommendation during MRS construction is to install correctors for precise calculation of natural gas consumption. The complete network has a total of 330 fire hydrants, as well as 110 sectional valves, by means of which it is possible to section off the gas distribution network in case of system disturbances, and for the protection of human life and property. The aforementioned gas distribution network forms a single entity.
Given the operating pressure of the gas distribution network, which is less than 6 bar (p<6 bar), we classify natural gas customers into “Category 1”, “Households” group and “Other Customers” group.
As of 2013, the total length of the gas distribution network (excluding built connections) stands at 406 km of various sizes, serving a total of 8871 consumers from both groups.
