Pressurization of the West-to-East Gas Pipeline
Thread Content
I have a question for everyone: during the West-to-East Gas Pipeline project, when the pressure of the natural gas drops and it needs to be pressurized, what process is used? ? Should a piston compressor be used directly, or some other method? ? Is the compressor electric? ? Could you explain it in more detail~~~ Thank you everyone
A centrifugal compressor should be used, with a gas turbine as the prime mover; using natural gas as fuel can reduce operating costs, and there is no need to build power transmission lines.
For centrifugal compressors, you can check out the oil and gas sector; I remember there being information indicating that in the first phase of the West-East Gas Pipeline project, compressors were used for transportation, with a pressure of 10 megapascals, achieved through 10 stages of pressure increase.
A centrifugal compressor will do. I fully agree with what was said on the second floor; using natural gas as a power source can help save energy
Centrifugal compressors have a large displacement and a low compression ratio, while piston compressors have a small displacement but a high compression ratio. A gas generator can be used as a source of power electricity
The power source depends on the application: in some cases, motors are used, while in others, gas engines are employed
