Gas Distribution System Evaluation

When a gas distribution system is difficult to operate, prone to leaks, or challenging to maintain, overall operational efficiency suffers. Undetected leaks of high-value gases can negatively impact profitability and introduce unnecessary safety risks for your team.

Swagelok’s Gas Distribution System Evaluation & Advisory Services provide clear insights, expert guidance, and actionable recommendations to help improve safety, reduce emissions, and strengthen the long-term reliability of your gas delivery infrastructure. Our certified fluid system advisors assess your system, identify improvement opportunities, and support you in selecting the appropriate regulators, components, and upgrade paths aligned with your operational objectives.

Following a comprehensive on-site evaluation of your gas distribution system, you will receive a detailed report that includes:

Performance and functional suitability of existing components
Required versus actual flow rates
Identified gas leaks and their estimated financial impact
Safety, environmental, and reliability scoring
Identified improvement areas with recommended solutions
Opportunities to optimize gas cylinder usage

This evaluation supports informed decision-making regarding system upgrades, configuration improvements, and long-term operational optimization.

1. Initial consultation

We begin with a discussion to understand your operating environment, challenges, risks, and objectives. This ensures the evaluation is aligned with your specific priorities.

2. Survey

Our advisors conduct a detailed survey of your gas distribution system. This includes an assessment of regulator performance, component condition, potential leak points, flow limitations, and overall system design.

3. Analysis

All collected data and on-site observations are analyzed to quantify the impact of identified issues and improvement opportunities. Recommendations are prioritized based on safety, reliability, operational efficiency, and cost impact.

4. Delivery

You receive a structured report summarizing the findings and recommended actions, clearly prioritized for implementation. Detailed technical observations are included in an appendix. Our field engineers will review the results with you and answer any questions in detail.

Gas distribution systems change over time due to component aging, process modifications, personnel turnover, and evolving energy costs. Periodic reassessment helps you to:
