Industrial and Environmental Safety and Efficiency of Gas Transportation Industry

Abstract

Objectives: Analysis of the influence of the drive type of gas compressor units on industrial safety and ecological efficiency of the main gas pipelines. Methods/Statistical analysis: Analysis of the main drive types of gas compressor units was carried out. Analysis of the main factors, which influence on industrial safety and ecological efficiency of the main gas pipelines, was carried out. It is shown, what technologies in a driver of gas compressor units are used to improve industrial safety and ecological efficiency of the main gas pipelines. Findings: The main drive types of gas compressor units are: gas turbines; electric drives; gas engine compressors. The main factors that influence industrial safety and ecological efficiency of the main gas pipelines, when using gas turbine gas compressor units are: emissions of harmful substances in the atmosphere; toxic waste; noise and vibration. When using gas turbine gas compressor units there is an additional problem of energy saving on the main gas pipelines. The best way to improve industrial safety and ecological efficiency of the main gas pipelines is to use electrically driven gas compressor units. The most effective and well-proven are electrically driven gas compressor units, built on the concepts of HOFIM and MOPICO. Application/Improvements: The results of work can be used in the analysis and development of methods to improve industrial safety and ecological efficiency of the main gas pipelines.
