Gastechnische

Gastechnische refers to the field of gas technology and the engineering disciplines involved in the production, processing, transport, storage and utilization of gaseous media. The term is used in German-speaking contexts to describe equipment, systems and processes related to natural gas, biogas and other industrial gases, as well as their use in buildings and industrial plants.

Key areas include gas supply networks, pressure regulation, metering and billing, odorization for safety, combustion technology and burner systems, safety valves and shut-off devices, gas detection, ventilation, and gas processing and purification. Typical equipment ranges from pipelines and regulators to gas meters, burners, flame supervision devices and intelligent control systems for monitoring and controlling gas flow.

Regulatory and safety aspects are central, with standards and guidelines from bodies such as the DVGW and European EN standards governing design, installation and operation. The field is also adapting to decarbonization through hydrogen and renewable gas technologies, LNG applications, and digitalization for smarter metering, leak detection and safety management.
