INVESTIGATING ROOT CAUSES OF CATU COMPRESSOR STATION SHUT-DOWN DUE TO HIGH DISCHARGE TEMPERATURE – (PPT)

摘要

The dimensioning of a compression plant, and especially for the heat exchangers, must foresee the serving of a higher number of operational points. The maximum admissible temperature for natural gas in pipelines should be more thoroughly considered for new projects involving gas compressor stations, and revised if necessary. The operational teams should participate more effectively since the beginning of any undertaking involving the transport of natural gas, mainly for compressor stations.
