Compression System
- To economize the flow through pipeline
- Located enroute of the pipeline to boost the gas pressure
- Reciprocating compressor verse Centrifugal compressor
- Reciprocating compressor : up to gas volume of 200000 SCM/Hr
higher compression ration ( up to 10)
- Centrifugal compressor : higher volume flow
Compression ratio 1.5 to 2.0
Compressor installation like a process
plant requiring all kind of utilities
(Power, Water, Air, Fuel , Fire Fighting
and Control Room System)
Receiving Terminal
- For supplying gas to various customers : designed to handle the
required flow for single
and multiple users.
- The terminal contain filters, pressure regulator, heater, metering
device, online gas chromatograph, flow computer and odorizing unit
(if required)

- Compressibility
- Improving delivery by making use of line pack which being function
of Pipeline pressure.
Simulator model basically works with various equation of state to
compute the desire result by employing advance numerical solutions
technique. Most of the simulator models have been developed by
various companies who have been involved in pipeline design or
information technology solution including monitoring & Control of
Physical parameters.

Velocity in Pipes
- Represents the speed at which gas molecules move from one point to another
- Due to compressibility , the gas velocity depends upon the pressure
- Vary in pipeline, even the pipe diameter is constant
- Highest velocity at the down stream of pipeline where the pressure is the least
- Least velocity at the up stream where pressure is higher
The gas velocity at any point in a gas pipeline is given by
Erosional Velocity
-Gas velocity is directly related the flow rate. As the flow rate increases, so the gas
velocity increases.
-As the velocity increases, vibration and noise are evident
-Higher velocities will cause erosion of the pipe interior over a long period of time.

Re = u D d / n
Where
Re- dimensionless, u-average velocity (m/s), D- inside diameter (mm),
d- gas density(kg/m^3), n-gas viscosity (kg /m-s)
The Reynolds number is
Contd.
Moody diagram is graphic plot of the variation of the friction factor with the Reynolds number
for various values of relative pipe roughness. It is a dimensionless parameter obtained by
dividing the absolute (or internal pipe roughness )by the pipe diameter.
Where
Re- dimensionless, u-average velocity (m/s), D- inside diameter (mm),
d- gas density(kg/m^3), n-gas viscosity (kg /m-s)
Relative roughness : e / D
Where
e = absolute or internal roughness of the pipe (mm)
D= pipe inside diameter (mm)
