Gas natural generalities.
TYPICAL COMPOSITION OF NATURAL GAS
Rich gas and lean gas are the two types of natural gas. Source: https://es.slideshare.net
The difference between them is their calorific value, i.e.
a different quantity of energy. In other words, 1 m³ of
lean gas provides less energy than 1 m³ of rich gas.
