Natural gas boosting equipment plays a crucial role in the transportation of liquefied gases, compressed natural gas, and other gaseous media. Its main functions can be summarized as follows: 1. Increasing gas pressure
Boosting function: Natural gas boosting equipment uses mechanical, electrical, control, and sensing technologies to boost low-pressure gas to high-pressure transmission, ensuring that natural gas can maintain sufficient pressure during long-distance transportation or complex terrain conditions to meet the needs of gas supply and transportation.
Improving gas supply capacity: During the transportation of natural gas pipelines, due to factors such as long pipeline distance or terrain fluctuations, natural gas pressure may decrease, affecting gas supply capacity. Boosting equipment can effectively increase the pressure during natural gas transportation, thereby improving gas supply capacity. 2、 Improve transportation efficiency
Optimizing transportation: The density of pressurized natural gas increases, and the heat contained in a unit volume of gas also increases accordingly. This means that under the same transportation conditions, more natural gas can be transported, thereby reducing transportation costs and improving transportation efficiency. 3、 Improving environmental conditions
Energy conservation and emission reduction: Due to the relatively low amount of pollutants generated during natural gas combustion, improving the utilization efficiency of natural gas is of great significance for improving environmental protection. The use of natural gas boosting equipment can reduce gas consumption and energy consumption, thereby achieving the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction. 4、 Ensure energy security
Stable supply: As one of the important energy sources, the stable supply of natural gas is of great significance for ensuring national energy security. Natural gas boosting equipment can ensure stable pressure and flow of natural gas during transportation, thereby ensuring a stable supply of natural gas. 5、 Other characteristics
Multiple gas drive: Natural gas boosting equipment can use compressed air, nitrogen, steam, natural gas and other gases as the driving gas source, with high flexibility and applicability.
Automatic pressure maintenance: Regardless of the reason for the pressure drop in the pressure maintenance circuit, the boosting equipment can automatically start, supplement the leakage pressure, and maintain a constant circuit pressure.
Operation safety: Gas driven, no arc or spark, suitable for flammable and explosive liquid or gas places.
Easy maintenance: The booster equipment has fewer parts and seals, making maintenance relatively simple and reducing operating costs.
Natural gas boosting equipment plays a crucial role in the production, storage, transportation, and supply of natural gas. It not only improves the supply capacity and transportation efficiency of natural gas, but also enhances environmental protection and ensures energy security.
