Modelling competition between natural gas pipeline projects to China
China's natural gas demand is expected to grow rapidly in the coming decades. Therefore the potential of several pipelines from Russia and other CIS countries to China has been investigated. A two-step game-theoretic procedure for the problem formulation is proposed to assess the projects' economic perspectives. In the instantaneous supply game the players determine optimal supply levels to the ...

Fog Provides Cooling for Natural Gas Pipeline Compressor Stations Case Study
High pressure fog enables pipelines to maintain production levels and stay online during hot weather conditions. After new compressor units were installed at a North Carolina compression facility, the cooling systems began to reach capacity causing the compressor to overheat due to hot weather conditions. The plant compression engineer chose MicroCool fog systems to provide adjunct cooling ...

Identifying Leaks from Natural Gas Pipelines at a Safe Distance
The use of natural gas, of which methane is the principle component, is increasing worldwide. According to the American Petroleum Institute methane meets 24% of U.S. energy demand and heats over 50% of all U.S. households. It also has many industrial uses, such as the manufacture of chemicals like ammonia, methanol, butane, ethane, propane and acetic acid; it is also an ingredient in products as ...

Commercial & Industrial Application/ Permanent Lng Installation - Case Study
Use of LNG to replace other liquid fuels (propane, distillate fuel oil, bunker/residual fuel) is increasing worldwide. There are several incentives driving these conversions. Initially after the shale gas boom in the USA, the incentives were largely economic as natural gas prices plummeted, also bringing down the cost of LNG vs. conventional liquid fuels. The rapid growth of both international ...

Industrial Maintenance for Compressor Stations
Transporting natural gas via pipelines is very safe and cost-efficient. However, in order for the transportation process to work properly it is imperative that the natural gas be kept at the correct pressure. To accomplish this compressor stations are needed at regular intervals. Let’s take a look at some key components of compressor stations as well as industrial maintenance needs. The ...
