Gas booster stations

Gas booster stations are designed and established with the aim of collecting and processing gas associated with oil and transferring it to downstream consumer facilities. The increase in pressure of the associated gases separated in the oil exploitation unit is done in the compression operation by the compressors in the gas pressure boosting stations. Exhaust gas pressure from these stations is calculated and applied according to the distance of the gas transmission line network to gas and liquefied gas factories.

The number of compaction stages depends on the number of stages of separation and stabilization of oil in the exploitation units in which the hydrocarbon liquids formed during the compaction operation between the stages are separated by liquid containers. Finally, gas and gaseous liquids leaving the last container of liquefaction (KOV) are removed from these stations by two separate pipelines and most of it is sent to supply feed to Bandar Amam Petrochemical Plant after liquefaction operations in gas and liquefied gas plants. Becomes.

If the exhaust gas from the booster stations contains sulfur compounds and (so-called sour), the amount of sulfur compounds (H2S) in the gas to the standard level by using special chemical compounds (sometimes diethanolamine DEA or other similar compounds) They bring down. This is done before the liquefaction process (hydrocarbon liquids - liquefied gas) in gas and liquefied gas plants. If the downstream facilities (receiver) are not able to receive the exhaust gas of the booster stations for any reason, or due to problems in the operation of the stations, it is not possible to collect and compress the gas, all or part of the inlet gases. Pressure boosting stations in the adjacent burners of these facilities will be burned. Since sulfur compounds are very toxic and corrosive, in order to maintain the health of employees and continuous and useful use of these facilities, use anti-corrosion materials and apply all Technical and safety standards are essential, especially in stations where the operating gas contains sulfur compounds. Supplying part of the city gas consumption by sending gas to the National Gas Company and supplying fuel consumption of oil facilities and some power plants are other uses of gas output of pressure boosting stations.
