Noise control of a compressor station

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2001
The noise emissions from a compressor station, part of a wastewater treatment plant, were investigated. The noise was a source of annoyance to a nearby residential subdivision. Initial measurements made on the site revealed salient tonal components. Further measurements suggested that the two main sources were leakage around the pipe intakes, and flow ...

Transient Operation in Pipeline Compressor Stations

Volume 3B: Oil and Gas Applications; Organic Rankine Cycle Power Systems; Supercritical CO2 Power Cycles; Wind Energy, 2014
Many pipelines are not operated under steady state conditions. This is in particular true for pipelines that are highly integrated with other pipelines, or have many different feed or gas take-off points. In many cases, the demand changes frequently, and cannot always be planned with a long time horizon.

Concepts in Gas Compressor Station Configuration

All Days, 2011
Abstract The number of compressors installed in each compressor station of a pipeline system, as well as their arrangement, has a significant impact on the availability, fuel consumption and capacity of the system.

Reducing Compressor Station Ambient Noise Level by Controlling Compressor Internal Noise Source

4th International Pipeline Conference, Parts A and B, 2002
Dresser-Rand single stage pipeline booster compressors have been popular for gas transmission applications due to their high efficiency. As more compressors are installed in natural gas compressor stations close to populated areas, the noise level emitted from the compressor stations becomes a concern. To address the potential community noise concerns,

Italian Compressor Stations for Gas Storage

Volume 3C: General, 1993
In Italy the gas transmission network, more than 23.000 km long, has 21 compressor stations with a total power of 500 MW. Some of the stations are used only for transmission purposes while others can also be used alternately or at the same time to compress gas into storage fields (Fig.1).

Dynamic Simulation of Compressor Station Operation Including Centrifugal Compressor and Gas Turbine

Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 1990
Dynamic simulation of the operation of a compressor station requires mathematical modeling of the dynamic behavior of the compressor unit and various piping elements. Such models consist of large systems of nonlinear partial differential equations describing the pipe flow together with nonlinear algebraic equations describing the quasi-steady flow ...

Methane Emission Monitoring of Appalachian Compressor Station

2022
There has been an increased interest in quantifying and recording methane (CH_4) emissions among all sectors. A main focus of interest among methane is to understand fugitive gasses and emissions resulting from the natural gas sector. Leaks along pipelines are most likely occurring at connection points between components.

Minimization of Power Usage in a Compressor Station with Multiple Compressors

Journal of Energy Engineering, 2016
AbstractIn natural-gas transmission, a compressor station often consists of multiple types of compressors. For any given suction pressure, discharge pressure, and total mass flow, an operation manager needs to decide the set of compressors to work, the rotation speed of each working compressor, and the natural-gas flow allocation among all the working ...

Asymmetric Solution for Compressor Station Spare Capacity

Volume 5: Marine; Microturbines and Small Turbomachinery; Oil and Gas Applications; Structures and Dynamics, Parts A and B, 2006
Arranging compressor units in series rather than in parallel can offer a number of advantages in many applications. However, especially if the compression ratio is rather high, it is desirable to use different impellers for the low-pressure and the high-pressure compressor. Otherwise, one or both operate off their best efficiency points.
