Technical and Economic Analysis of the Gas Reduction Schemes

Abstract

In the course of the work, an analysis of existing gas reduction schemes at the gas distribution stations was carried out. For development of an optimal reduction scheme, there was made a selection of equipment operating in the pressure range from 1,2 to 6,4 MPa with single-stage gas reduction. According to the results of the technical and economic calculation of each scheme, it was concluded that they should be used from the point of view of technological efficiency and economy. Gas reduction schemes are proposed for the study and use. They contain a regulator-monitor that performs the role of a redundant regulator and its use solves two problems at the same time—increasing the reliability of the gas reduction line and automating the throttling process
