2. General Characteristics

The existing main gas line characteristics are as follows;

- Main gas line pipe: API 5LX65 Outer

Diameter: 48" Wall Thickness: 14.3 mm
The station will be used to pressurize the natural gas inside the main pipeline being transported from Iranian
and Azerbaijan. The station will be fully automatic and will be equipped with identical centrifugal
compressors driven by identical industrial type gas turbines.

Compressor station shall be controlled by station control system, having three modes of control:
Local Manual Operation
Local Automatic Operation
Remote Automatic Operation

The supplier shall design the Facilities and shall ascribe noise limits to each piece of equipment in
continuous service in order to keep in the following maximum sound pressure levels:
Within the compressor station area ISO NR 80
Within the compressor station fence ISO NR 55.
Furthermore any discontinuous noise emission shall be within limits indicated in the following table:
Duration of noisy emission (hours)

max ISO NR 80 85 90 95 100 105 110
In every accessible point of the Facilities, for any sound service, the maximum limit corresponding to the ISO
NR 120 shall not be exceeded.

4. Operating Data
Erzincan Compressor Station shall be designed in such a way that the maximum efficiency is achieved (with
three units to be in operation) at the following operating point. The inlet-outlet (suction-discharge) pressure
values are the ones to be provided at the station inlet-outlet valves:

Moreover, in spite of taking the suction gas temperature as 7.7 °C at the design points, this parameter
changes between 6°C and 10 °C in application.

Operating Point-1 (Maximum Efficiency)

Flow Rate (Sm 3 /h) 1.877.000

Suction Pressure (barg) 46,0
Discharge Pressure (barg) 74.0
Suction Gas Temperature (°C) 7.7
Ambient Temperature (°C) 0°C
(Winter):

The station shall also cover the following operating conditions, at which the station is also expected to be
operated (with three units to be in operation).

Operating; Point-2
Flow Rate (Sm 3 /h) 2.040.000
Suction Pressure (barg) 47,0
Discharge Pressure (barg) 75,0
Suction Gas Temperature (°C) 7,7
Ambient Temperature (°C) 0°C
(Winter):

Operating Point-3
Flow Rate (Sm 3 /h) 1.613.000
Suction Pressure (barg) 46,0
Discharge Pressure (barg) 70,0
Suction Gas Temperature (°C) 7.7
Ambient Temperature (°C) 16.6 °C
(Summer):

Notes for the compressor units sizing:

1) The station gas compressors will have a capacity of working at all operating conditions so that the
pressure conditions can be minimum 40 barg at the inlet flange and maximum 75 barg at the outlet flange of
the station.

2) To satisfy above mentioned flow rate (2.040.0000 Sm 3 / hour) four compressor units at 3+1 configuration
shall be installed and one of them shall be used as standby under all working conditions. However, in case
of high head or high flow requirement, 4 units shall be used together. Therefore, Station Control System
shall be designed so that all units can run at the same time if necessary.
