YEREVAN. – The heat emission of the Russian natural gas entering Armenia should be measured in real time. 

Ruling Republican Party (RPA) MP Vardan Ayvazyan, who is also Chairman of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Economic Affairs, told the abovementioned to Armenian News-NEWS.am.  

In the past month, the RPA MP paid visits to the infrastructure facilities of Armenia’s ArmRusGazprom Company. As a result, it was found out that the limitary heat of gas combustion was not identical, and it could range from 20-30 percent.

“The problem is that it is not specified as to what calorific-value gas enters our system at which point,” Ayvazyan explained.

Pursuant to the natural gas agreements recently signed between Armenia and Russia, calorific value indicators will not be applied for Armenia until the year 2016. 

“And then [what]? It is indispensable to specify as to who will follow the gas parameters in a synchronous mode. Otherwise, different customers will receive gas at different heat emission,” Vardan Ayvazyan concluded.
