Approaching Compressor Challenge From The Side Finds A Solution

摘要

Severe operating challenges on five KVSR-412 units at Questar Pipeline's Kastler facility in Clay Basin, UT were brought under control when a team composed of company technicians and specialists from service firms attacked a combustion control problem from the side, that is by using lessons learned in emissions control projects. Specialists from Hoerbiger Engineering Services and Anderson Consulting Testing and Training (ACTT) helped find a successful approach. A study showed that the engines needed more air and a way to control air during off peak operations. A control strategy that treated the unit as a large inter-related system guided the solution.
