Centrifugal Compressors play an essential role in oil, gas and petrochemical industries. Their extensive usage is due to their smooth operation and high reliability compared to other other compressor types. One of the main characteristics of these turbomachines is their performance curve, which is an important criterion for selecting the appropriate compressor for a desired working condition. I...

There are many compressor stations along long-distance natural gas pipelines. Natural gas can be transported using different boot programs and import pressures, combined with temperature control parameters. Moreover, different transport methods have correspondingly different energy consumptions. At present, the operating parameters of many pipelines are determined empirically by dispatchers, re...

Limited direct measurements of criteria pollutants emissions and precursors, as well as natural gas constituents, from Marcellus shale gas development activities contribute to uncertainty about their atmospheric impact. Real-time measurements were made with the Aerodyne Research Inc. Mobile Laboratory to characterize emission rates of atmospheric pollutants. Sites investigated include productio...

Modern compressor analyzers enable plant operators to monitor compressors by acquiring and storing pressure changes measured inside the working cylinder, in suction and discharge chambers, furthermore ultrasonic signals and temperatures. The paper focuses on pressure changes inside the cylinder and the possibilities of detecting abnormal operating conditions, in particular valve leakage, by ana...

A complete and advanced numerical simulation model of the thermal and fluid-dynamic performance of hermetic reciprocating compressors has been developed and is used in the optimization Electrolux compressor design. During the last few years several global experimental validations have been carried out. A detailed instrumentation of a commercial reciprocating compressor for household refrigerato...

In this research, gasoline vapours including Benzene, Toluene, Xylene (BTX) and Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOCs) emitted from vent pipes of underground storage tanks (USTs) were measured at six gas stations in Tehran. Thereafter, gas station No. 29 was selected as a pilot station and equipped with a vapour control system. The vapours were measured during the summer of 2013 and winter of...

This paper describes an estimation method for gas turbine compressor degradation and an economical optimisation model for determining the optimal compressor washing cycles. The optimisation model aims at minimising fuel consumption and emissions in combined-cycle power plants. The results presented are of significant importance for power plants operators that have the possibility of frequently ...

Gas pulsation in the discharge side of rotary compressor is one of the main sources of noise, so the discharge muffler is widely used to decrease the gas pulsation and noise level. Investigations on pressure pulsation in the muffler can provide not only a method to evaluate the muffler design and modification, but also a base for advanced study of noise in rotary compressor. In this paper the m...
