Natural Gas Compressor Fuel Calculation

Natural Gas Compressor Fuel Calculation FAQ

How to calculate the fuel consumption of a compressor?

An approximation for fuel consumption can be done using certain empirical formulas. The formula is presented herewith: where: P auxiliary = Power consumption in kW of auxiliaries associated with the compressor package, which includes electricity, lubricating oil system, cooling system etc..

How do you calculate natural gas pipeline pressure?

Average Pipeline Pressure - Average pipeline pressure is needed for some natural gas pipeline flow calculations. This average pressure is typically calculated with the following equation: 6 Pave= (2/3)[(P13- P23)/(P12- P22)] (3) where: P1is the pipeline inlet pressure, and P2is the pipeline outlet pressure

What is the formula for compressor power?

Formula : compressor power calculation 1.1 Simplified formula For 1 compressor stage of a perfect gas, the isentropic compression is the following : P is = 2.31* (k/ (k-1))* (T dis -T suct)/M*Q m

How does natural gas get to a compressor station?

Natural gas within a gathering system can arrive at a compressor station at a variety of pressures depending on the pressure of the wells feeding the system and the distance gas travels from the wellhead to the compressor.
