Build the practical skills you need to design a single-unit compressor station during this 4.5 day program. This course enhances your understanding of the main systems in a single-unit compressor station and gives you the confidence to make effective design decisions. You will have experience laying out major interconnecting piping and performing calculations to size equipment. By the end of the course, you will—
- Learn to recognize a natural gas compressor station and categorize it as production, gathering, transmission, distribution, or processing
- Understand how the compression process integrates into the pipeline system to cause pressure and flow increases and decreases
- Review load and critical operations requirements
- Identify the major equipment in a compressor station based on an aerial photograph and describe their purpose, general function, and relative importance
- Explore the operations and design of gas quality control systems, with a focus on state-of-the-art technologies
Topics covered include:
- Compressor Station Layout Horsepower (Gas Engines and Gas Turbine Drives)
