01Define intentional streams
Startup rejection, quality-controlled venting and analyser sampling may be designed functions. Record their purpose, timing and estimated or measured quantities separately. Labeling every non-product stream as a leak obscures how the station actually operates.
02Locate unintended losses
Compare generation and delivery measurements where their accuracy and reference conditions allow it. Investigate unexplained differences with suitable detection methods. Consider storage pressure changes over the interval before interpreting a temporary imbalance as continuous leakage.
03Prioritize without weakening safeguards
Repeated off-specification discharge may call for a quality or control investigation; excessive sample use may call for an approved sampling review. Do not disable quality diversion or protective functions to improve a gas-balance number. Verify improvements against both useful output and the required gas quality.
