SNGPL takes action against compressor use

LAHORE: The Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Ltd (SNGPL) has initiated action against use of compressors with a view to curbing illegal practice of affecting equitable use of gas.
SNGPL MD Amjad Latif appealed to the gas consumers not to use compressors for increasing the gas pressure as it was an illegal act. He said this while talking to journalists at the launch of winter media campaign on Tuesday. He said recently SNGPL had disconnected 150 connections of domestic consumers for using compressors. He asked the consumers to use gas-efficient devices. He said people should use gas timer device and conical baffle in water geysers and avoid using gas heaters.
He claimed that there was no shortage of gas in the country. Uninterrupted supply of gas to domestic consumers is priority of the government. The supply of gas remains the same whole year but the demand of gas increases manifold in winter.
To a question, Amjad said RLNG was available to industry but system gas would not be available during the winter. He said SNGPL provided industries with system gas two days a week but it would remain suspended in winter.
