OF HEAT UTILIZATION EFFICIENCY OF EXHAUST GASES OF GAS PUMPING UNITS OF COMPRESSOR STATIONS OF SHURTAN OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Abstract

This article discusses the possibility and feasibility of utilizing the heat of high-temperature exhaust gases of one gas-pumping unit of a compressor station on a waste heat boiler to generate heating water for heating and hot water supply of compressor station facilities in order to save energy. These specific conditions, mainly of a regime nature, require mini-CHPs to meet fairly stringent requirements for the reliable supply of thermal energy to consumers. These requirements are provided by a set of measures, including improving the reliability of individual elements and units of heat supply systems, using various methods of redundancy, in particular functional and temporary. An example of the implementation of these methods for improving reliability is the use of hot water storage tanks (AHV) at a mini-CHP with a gas turbine. The specific choice of the design scheme for a gas turbine plant (GTU)-CHP depends on a number of factors: the magnitude of the connected heat load and its structure, heat consumption modes, climatic conditions, required reliability, etc. The results of the theory of technical and economic calculations in the implementation of the waste heat boiler are presented, the potential opportunities and benefits from the implementation are shown.
