Abstract

At a pipeline station with a gas turbine or internal combustion engine , there is waste heat which is currently being vented to the atmosphere. Capturing and using this waste heat could potentially increase the overall thermal efficiency of the station, reduce emissions at the station, and reduce operational costs. In the past, the focus of waste heat recovery systems has been on large scale systems. Little attention has been given to small-scale options which would be suitable for use at a pipeline compressor station. This project evaluted options for using waste heat recovery for internal facility uses such as gas compressor aftercooling. Readers are cautioned that the economimics/feasibility analysis reflect some some assumptions that are not commonly applicable for most compressor facilities and therefore any conclusions based on economics should not be considered to be widely applicable.
