Let’s go for a simple question.


What is compressor?

BANGLADESH GAS FIELDS COMPANY LIMITED


CONSORTIUM
OF
ZICOM EQUIPMENT PTE LTD
&
AG EQUIPMENT COMPANY

The answer is
Compressor is nothing but a pump.
Both compressor and pump increase the pressure of fluid and both
can transport the fluid through a pipe.

Then what is the difference betn Pump and compressor?

A gas compressor is a mechanical


device that increases the pressure of a
gas by reducing/compressing its
volume to transport gas through
pipeline. As gases are compressible,
the compressor reduces the volume

of gas to increase the pressure.
On the other hand, as liquids are
relatively incompressible the main
action of a pump is to transport
liquids trough pipeline

Requirement of Wellhead Compressor

 Gas wells that are nearly depleted are often abandoned. Even though
considerable amounts of gas and oil could still be extracted. The
remaining oil and gas can no longer be recovered efficiently and cost-
effectively with conventional methods. The pressure is not enough to
transport produced gases or liquids upwards through the production
pipeline.
 In order to facilitate the production of mature gas fields, a possible
solution is installing compression. By introducing compression, the
well head pressure is reduced allowing larger gas flow rates. Wellhead
compression (WHC) is the solution by which a compressor extends
the life of oil and gas wells and boosts their production output.

Operation

Compressors are an integral part of the production process. They are used to
increase the line pressure so that gas can be delivered to the processing plants
and/or sales lines.
Compressor stations are part of the natural gas pipeline network that moves
natural gas from individual producing well to end users. As natural gas moves
through a pipeline, distance, friction, and elevation differences slow the
movement of the gas, and reduce pressure. Also during prolonged production the
reservoir pressure declined.
Compressor stations are placed strategically within the wellhead to gathering
and to and in between transportation pipeline network to help maintain the
pressure and flow of gas to end user. So, Compressors are used for natural gas
gathering, transport, processing and storage, etc.

Compressor Packages

According to its strategic use and depends on its operation


these are
1)Wellhead compressor packages, which are employed over
here.
2) Booster compressor packages:
to increase the pressure (even intentional reduction, depends Well head Compressor packages
on process requirement) to cater the grid line pressure, such
compressors are under operation at Sylhet Gas Fields Limited,
and bkb
to boost up the grid pipeline pressure to feed the customer as
like as Muchai, Ashuganj and Elenga hubs where compressors
are in use for Gas Transmission Company Limited.

Types of Driver for Compressor

Reciprocating compressors are mostly driven by natural gas-powered reciprocating engines.

Gas turbines rely on the hot exhaust gas discharged by a gas generator to drive a power turbine.
The output power from the turbine shaft is used to drive the pipeline gas compressor.

Rotary compressor/Centrifugal/Axial compressors are usually driven by electric motors.

Maintenance

In order to keep the operation smooth and safe it is necessary to check the parameters of the operation.
Whether the parameters are up to mark or not; keeping in touch with that is considered as maintenance.
Proper maintenance can mitigate troubleshoot a long way

Operation of the Wellhead Gas Compression Process


Layout
• Operation starts as the well stream enter the gas gathering Manifold, maintaining the desired
pressure by dedicated PCV for each stream.
• As the gas travels to 3 Phase Production separation vessel where separate free liquids from gas stream
and solids or other particulate matter that may be in the gas stream are also filtered away.
• After that the dried gas moves to the Pre-cooler for obtaining desired temperature. Later it goes to
the compressor cylinder for gas compression through the suction scrubber for further removal of free
liquid from gas to achieve dried gas.
• Thereafter compressed gas travels to after cooler for further reduction of temperature to gain aimed
temperature. Later it goes again to the gathering manifold to distribute gas at particular gas plant
through the discharge scrubber for removing liquid due temperature fall. Compressed gas is measured
by ultrasonic flow meter during travelling from discharge scrubber to Gas gathering manifold.

Routine Startup Procedure


1. Complete all prestart activities and checks.
2. Reset all engine protection switches and devices.
3. Set operating speed to 750 rpm, pressure between
35 kPa (5 psi) and 200 kPa (30 psi). Allow engine to
crank for 15 seconds to verify adequate purging.
4. Confirm engine coolant and lube oil are least 16°C
(60° F) for reliable starting.
5. Open the manual gas shutoff valve, if closed.
6. Initiate prelude/start cycle

Routine Startup Procedure

7. Engine should start in the first 7-8 seconds of cranking cycle. (A 5 second delay from crank
initiation to main gas shutoff valve opening is programmed into the ESM to purge unburnt
fuel from previous start attempts from the engine and fuel system. When the engine starts
listen carefully for unusual noises. If a problem is suspected, stop the engine immediately.

8. Warm engine by running with little or no load until oil pressure is 415-450 kPa (60-65 psi)
and intake manifold temperature exceeds 38° C( 100 °F). For standby units, jacket water
heating to 43 °C(110 ° F) is required.

9. Gradually apply load to avoid overloading engine.

10. If the engine is difficult to start or will not run properly, see the troubleshooting and retry
