Suction
pressure (PSIG) range
Discharge
pressure (PSIG) range
Capacity
MCF/Day
"K"
value of gas Ratio of specific heats.
Specific
gravity of gas Found by gas analysis, a default value of .65 is
often used for natural gas.
BTU
of gas Found by gas analysis, pure methane has approximately
1000 BTU per standard cubic foot.
Inlet
temperature of gas (degrees Fahrenheit) Lower initial temperatures require less compression
power.
Ambient
temperature of site High ambient temperatures may require additional
cooling to prevent overheating between stages of
compression.
Elevation
of site in feet Natural aspirated engines require deration in horsepower
as elevation increases, also gauge pressure is altered
by altitude changes.
Flowing
well(s) Multiple flowing may create surges or gaps in the
desired flow rate.
Pumping
well(s) Generally indicate a steadier stream of gas but
mechanical problems can alter flow below desired
parameters.
Plunge
lift or intermitter Initial surge of flow and periods of no flow must
be dealt with in order to protect the compressor.
Gathering
system(s) Same concerns as above.
H2S
or C02 (in
parts per
million) Found by gas analysis, these are dangerous corrosive
gases and must be known and dealt with to protect
personnel and equipment.
Electricity
on site Depending on the quality of the gas. Electric driven compressors can be less expensive to operate and maintain than engine driven units.
American Gas Compression
Services, Inc. (AGCSI) rents, sells and services gas compression equipment,
including remanufactured and new equipment, and provides gas compression
services.
AGCSI is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Atlas Resource Corporation.
