Natural Gas Compressor Packages

Natural Gas Compressor Packages

Compressor packages maintain line pressure and deliver stable flow for:

  • Transmission pipelines

  • Booster stations

  • Gas storage injection/withdrawal

  • Fuel gas supply boosting

Package Configurations

  • Reciprocating compressor packages

  • Centrifugal compressor packages

  • Electric motor driven packages

  • Gas engine driven packages

  • Turbine driven packages

Typical Package Scope (Skid-Mounted)

  • Compressor + driver

  • Suction scrubber / KO drum

  • Discharge cooler / aftercooler

  • Lube oil system & filtration

  • Seal gas system (as applicable)

  • Instrument air / utility panel

  • PLC/SCADA, ESD and fire & gas interfaces

  • Baseframe, piping, wiring, and acoustic enclosure options

Design & Operability Considerations

  • Inlet pressure fluctuation and turndown

  • Anti-surge control (centrifugal)

  • Pulsation control (reciprocating)

  • Noise limits and enclosure requirements

  • Hazardous area classification and ATEX compliance

  • Maintainability (pull space, lifting points, modular replacement)

 

Standards & Quality (Pipeline Equipment)

Typical design and quality framework:

  • ASME Section VIII (pressure vessels)

  • ASME B31.3 / B31.4 / B31.8 (as applicable)

  • API 6A / API 6D interfaces where relevant

  • ISO 15156 / NACE MR0175 for sour service

  • PED / ATEX where applicable

  • NDT: RT/UT/PT/MT per project ITP

  • Hydrotest, pneumatic test (as specified), functional tests

  • Full material traceability (MTC), welding WPS/PQR, MDR dossier
