The Basics of a Compressor Station/Prince Rupert Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline Project

As natural gas flows along a pipeline, it slows due to friction between it and the pipeline. This results in a loss of pressure along the pipeline. In order to make the gas flow continuously at a desired flow rate, it is re-pressurized at suitable locations along the pipeline. This is done by mechanically compressing the gas at sites connected to the pipeline known as compressor stations. The location and quantity of compressor stations required in a pipeline system is dependent on a number of factors, including the operating pressure of the pipeline, the diameter of the pipe used, elevation changes along the pipeline route and the desired volume of gas to be transported

Northern Lights, Farmington Compressor Station, Air Emissions Permit

The Farmington Compressor Station is used to pressurize natural gas for transport through the pipeline system. The facility is composed of a compressor building which houses five natural gas-fired reciprocating compressor engines and a natural gas-fired turbine that provide power to the pipeline compressor. There is also a diesel-fired electric generator for emergency power.
