I have some questions about how many compressors we have to add to the 40 inch x 2,500km Pipelines.
and What will be the better design? parall or series type?
Actually, I found that the system is working with 2~3 compressors by using Analysis Programme.
But, for Sound operation, adding more compressors will be better even though Capex and O&M Price is going up.
# Assumption :
- Design Pressure : 15 Mpa(from the Upstream source)
- Diameter : 40 inch
- Thickness : 25.4mm
* It is just an example. We also need to think about larger and smaller dimension.
- Total Flow : 1,200 ton/hr(Natural Gas)
1) 1,000km Post : 300 ton/hr
2) 2,000km Post : 450 ton/hr
3) 2,500km Post : 450 ton/hr
* all of the demands are Power Plant.
Anyone who are experienced at design and construciton of these kinds ofo pipelines?
Please, have a talk and give me adive.
Best Regards
