1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Block-A gas reserves is developed for sales gas supply to Pertagas Niaga. Block A field development
consists of Alur Siwah (AS), Alur Rambong (AR), and Julu Rayeu (JR) fields. Alur Siwah Central
Processing Plant (AS CPP) is built to monetize gas from AS and AR fields. JR gas is used for fuel gas
supply to AS CPP and produced water from all fields is injected to water injection wells in JR.
In Block A Development Phase I, facilities are designed to produce sales gas in the amount of 63.25
BBTUD with associated condensate, produced water, and sulfur product. Gas processing at AS CPP
consist of Well fluid Separation System, Acid Gas Removal Unit, Dew Point Control Unit, Acid Gas
Enrichment & Sulfur Recovery Unit, Sulfur Granulation Unit, Condensate Stabilization & Produced
Water Degassing Unit and the produced Liquid Storage & Pumping Facility. Two water injection wells
are provided to accommodate produced water rate.
In Block A Development Phase II, additional production wells are going to be drilled to maintain sales
gas supply to buyer of 48.6 BBTUD (TOP).
Near the end of plateau production period (end of 2025), feed gas from AS & AR wells will begin
operating in lower pressure regime due to declining reservoir pressure. Block A Development Phase III
project will be performed to accommodate expansion due to low pressure operation and maintain
sales gas of 48.6 BBTUD (TOP). The peak gas production to AS CPP in low pressure regime is
expected at 70-77 MMSCFD.
This study is being developed to evaluate the existing facilities capacity from wellhead to AS CPP and
water injection well, conduct plant optimization and identify the additional facilities required in low
pressure operation.

5 COMPRESSOR TYPE GENERAL SELECTION

5.1 TYPE OF COMPRESSOR
Compressor is a device used to increase the pressure of compressible fluid, either gas or vapor,
by reducing the fluid specific volume during passage of the fluid through compressor. One of basic
aim of compressor usage is to compress the fluid, then deliver it to a higher pressure than its
original pressure.
There are many types of compressors, thus a proper selection is needed to fulfill the typical
necessity of each industry. Generally, the compression of gases may be accomplished in device
with rotating blades or in cylinders with reciprocating pistons. Rotary equipment is used for high
volume flow where the discharge pressure is not too high, while the reciprocating compressors are
required for high pressures. Besides volumetric flow rate, there are also many parameters to be
considered, includes the valid standards to be used.
The inlet and outlet pressure level is varying, from a deep vacuum to a high positive pressure,
depending on process’ necessity. This inlet and outlet pressure is related, corresponding with the
type of compressor and its configuration. As shown in Figure 5-1, compressors are generally
classified into two separate and distinct categories: Dynamic and Positive Displacement.
Figure 5-1 Compressor Type based on Operating Principles
5.1.1 DYNAMIC COMPRESSOR

Dynamic compressor is a continuous-flow compressor which includes centrifugal compressor
and axial flow compressor. The dynamic compressor is characterized by rotating impeller to

Date : 27/01/2023
Rev. : A
Rev. A Page 10 of 35
Rev Date : 27/01/2023
add velocity and pressure to fluid. Dynamic compressor types are divided into Centrifugal
compressor and Axial Flow compressor.
A. Centrifugal Compressor
Centrifugal compressor is specified according to API 617. The centrifugal compressor
is a dynamic machine that achieves compression by applying inertial forces to the gas
(acceleration, deceleration, and turning) by means of rotating impellers. It is made up
of one or more stages; each stage consists of an impeller as the rotating element and
the stationary element, i.e. diffuser. There are two types of diffuser: vane less
diffusers and vane diffusers.
Vane less diffuser is widely used in wide operating range applications, while the vane
less diffuser is used in applications where a high pressure ratio or high efficiency is
required. The main components of a centrifugal compressor are shown below.
Figure 5-2 Multi-stages Centrifugal Compressor
In centrifugal compressor, the fluid flow enters the impeller in an axial direction and
discharged from an impeller radially perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The gas fluid
is forced through the impeller by rapidly rotating impeller blades. The gas next flows
through a circular chamber (diffuser), following a spiral path where it loses velocity
and increases pressure.
The deceleration of flow or “diffuser action” causes pressure build-up in the centrifugal
compressor. Briefly, the impeller adds energy to the gas fluid, and then the diffuser
converts it into pressure energy.
The maximum pressure rise for centrifugal compressor mostly depends on the
rotational speed (RPM) of the impeller and the impeller diameter. But the maximum
permissible speed is limited by the strength of the structural materials of the blade
and the sonic velocity of fluid; furthermore, it leads into limitation for the maximum
achievable pressure rise.
Hence, multistage centrifugal compressors are used for higher pressure lift
applications. A multistage centrifugal compressor compresses gas to the required
pressure in multiple stages.
Typical centrifugal compressors for the single-stage design can intake gas volumes
between 100 to 150,000 inlets ACFM. A multi-stage centrifugal compressor is normal
considered for inlet volume between 500 to 200,000 inlets ACFM.
B. Axial Compressor
Axial compressor is specified according to API 617. Axial compressors can handle
large volume flows and are more efficient than centrifugal compressors. However,
centrifugal compressors have wider operating ranges and are less vulnerable to

Date : 27/01/2023
Rev. : A
Rev Date : 27/01/2023
surge and less susceptible to fouling. Furthermore, Axial Compressors are generally
used for lower pressure ratio applications
Axial compressors should be considered only for high flow applications in duties such
as compressing air with an adequate suction filtration system to prevent airborne
contaminant fouling/deposits or clean, non-corrosive gases.
5.1.2 POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT COMPRESSOR

Positive displacement compressors deliver a fixed volume of fluid at higher pressures; it
commonly can be divided into two types: rotary compressors and reciprocating compressors.
In all positive displacement machines, a certain inlet volume of gas is confined in a given
space and subsequently compressed by reducing this confined space or volume. At this
elevated pressure, the gas is next expelled into the discharge piping or vessel system.
A. Rotary Compressor
Screw compressor is specified according to API 619. A screw compressor is a twin-
shaft rotary piston machine functioning on the principle of positive displacement
combined with internal compression.
The medium handled is conveyed from the suction port to the discharge port,
entrapped in steadily diminishing spaces between the convolutions of the two helical
rotors, being compressed up to the final internal pressure before it is released into the
discharge nozzle.
Figure 5-3 Two-Rotors Helical Screw Compressor

Date : 27/01/2023
Rev. : A
Rev Date : 27/01/2023
The spaces referred to are those formed between the cylinder walls and the
interlocking convolutions of the two helical rotors. The position of the edge of the
outlet port determines the so-called “built-in volumetric ratio”.
The compression that can occur in the discharge header is isochoric: more gas is
being pushed into a fixed volume. Since a screw compressor operates on a positive
displacement principle, it will continue to move the same volume of gas per rotation
regardless of gas density and downstream pressure.
The screw compressor rotor is stiff and has a low moment of inertia. Precision
balancing is not as critical and the operating range will normally be below the first
torsional critical speed. Screw compressor pressure limits are normally dictated by
temperature, due to the heat of compression; however, rotor deflection and bearing
life are also key factors in pressure limits.
A. Reciprocating Compressor
Reciprocating compressor is specified according to API 618, API 11P or ISO 13631.
The reciprocating, or piston compressor, is a positive displacement compressor that
uses the movement of a piston within a cylinder to move gas from one pressure level
to another higher pressure level. Reciprocating compressors might be considered as
single acting, when the compressing is accomplished using only one side of the
piston, or double acting when it is using both sides of the piston.
They are used mainly when high-pressure head is required at a low flow. Generally,
the maximum allowable discharge-gas temperature determines the maximum
compression ratio. Reciprocating compressors are furnished in either single-stage or
multistage types. For single stage design, the entire compression is accomplished
with a single cylinder or a group of cylinders in parallel.
Intercoolers are provided between stages on multistage machines. These heat

exchangers remove the heat of compression from the gas and reduce its temperature
to approximately the temperature existing at the compressor intake. Such cooling
reduces the volume of gas going to the high-pressure cylinders, reduces the power
required for compression, and keeps the temperature within safe operating limits.
Some reciprocating compressors have as many as six stages, to provide a total
compression ratio over 3.
In reciprocating compressors, when a large volume of liquid appears inside the

cylinder, and the piston cannot expel it through the discharge valve during the short
duration when it is open, it leads to excessive pressure buildup inside the cylinder.
In reciprocating compressor, suction and inter-stage scrubbers are requires to protect

compressors from fine particulate and condensate or liquid content. Without proper
filtration, compressor performance is reduced. The liquid content which accumulated
inside cylinder may leads to excessive pressure buildup inside the cylinders.

7 COMPRESSOR DRIVER SELECTION STUDY

The mechanical drive power for centrifugal compressor could be achieved by steam turbines, gas
turbines, or electric drive motors.
7.1 COMPRESSOR DRIVER TYPE

7.1.1 STEAM TURBINE
Special purpose steam turbines are specified according to API 612, while API 611 standard
applies for general purpose steam turbines.
One of the main advantages of steam turbines is their stability of power output which is not
affected by the daily and/ or seasonal fluctuations in ambient temperatures. In addition, steam
turbines are very reliable and highly available. Steam turbines are simple in design and
technologically proven. Steam turbines offer flexibility in operation due to capability of running
at a wide range of speed. The starting torque requirements for a shaft lines could be easily
catered by steam turbine drivers.
However, the main disadvantage in steam turbine drivers is the requirement of an extended
layout in the plant. This mandates an extended steam generation and condensate recovery
systems. Steam turbine auxiliaries impose heavier weight and consume a lot of space and a
distributed footprint.
Table 7-1 Steam Turbine advantages and disadvantages summary
Advantages Disadvantages
1) Stable power output (not affected by 1) Require steam source / steam
ambient temperatures) generation system, which is not
2) Require no Fuel Gas, so it will have free common on offshore oil and gas plant
emissions 2) Require additional condensate
3) Require no electricity recovery system
3) Require large footprint

Rev Date : 27/01/2023
7.1.2 GAS TURBINE

Gas Turbines are selected in compliance with API 616. The two families of gas turbines that
are used are “Heavy-Duty” gas turbines and “Aero-derivative gas” turbines
A. Heavy-Duty Gas Turbines

Heavy-Duty gas turbines have thermal efficiency up to 38% which is better than steam
turbines (boilers and water auxiliaries), and require less foot print. However, power
output from gas turbines is subject to fluctuations with daily and/ or seasonal changes
in ambient temperature.
In general, Heavy-Duty gas turbines are single shaft machines, with some exceptions
where a dual shaft machine is applied on recent machinery. Such dual-shaft Heavy-
Duty gas turbines combine both high power capacity as a mechanical drive and
robustness, but without the need for a big starter motor and the need for extra
investment in oversizing the electric power station and additional power distribution and
control.
In a single shaft machine, the gas turbine the starting torque might not be sufficient to
start the shaft line from zero speed, and accordingly a starter motor or steam turbine is
added in the shaft line to assist the gas turbine start from a standstill condition. Heavy-
Duty gas turbines operate at near-fixed speed (97% to 103% of rated speed).
Waste Heat Recovery units (WHRU) or Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) are
often associated with gas turbines to recover some heat power and thus improve the
plant efficiency.
Table 7-2 Gas Turbine advantages and disadvantages summary
1) Require relatively less footprint 1) Relatively medium/low thermal efficiency
2) Less lube oil consumption (up to 38%), and may require additional
3) Less maintenance cost because Waste Heat Recovery Unit to improve its
of less complexity of components efficiency
due to less contacting 2) Require Fuel Gas source which produces
part/components relatively high emissions
3) Require additional starter motor
4) Require additional dry gas seal systems,
including its utility.
5) Higher CAPEX

Date : 27/01/2023
Rev. : A
Rev Date : 27/01/2023
B. Aero-derivative Gas Turbines

Aero-derivative gas turbines normally have power outputs ranging from 25 MW to 75
MW.
The advantages of these new gas turbines are the thermal efficiency (up to 43%), wider
range of speed variation, and the limited downtime for maintenance (concept of the
swap engine). They allow a start up in any conditions (from scratch or at settling out
pressure) without the need for a starter motor. However, aero-derivative gas turbines
are more sensitive to variations in combustion air temperature than the Heavy-Duty gas
turbines and may require more frequent inspection and overhauls.
Aero-derivative gas turbines are composed of multiple shafts; with or without a free
power turbine. By limiting the length of the shaft line, the footprint is less and
consequently the installed CAPEX can be lower in high offshore or modularized plant.
Figure 7-3 Aero-derivative Gas Turbines (Courtesy BHGE - PGT 25+G4)
7.1.3 ELECTRIC MOTOR

Electric motor is specified according to IEC 60034 or NEMA standards.
Electric motor can be used to drive compressors, with power requirements up to 80 MW; they
are robust and reliable and don’t require any specific maintenance plans and reduce the
footprint requirements. However, a motor in DOL (Direct on Line) arrangement will require 6
to 7 times the rated power to start from standstill condition, a motor equipped with soft starter,
would require 1 to 2 times the rated power.
For small plants where the required power is limited and based on the assumption that the
grid or local network can deliver the power, a DOL motor can be used.
For large plant motor with soft starter, and by extension variable frequency drive (VFD)
system are selected. The VFD is selected to tune the compressor operating points and to
start the unit with low inrush current.
The main advantages of electric motors over the Heavy-Duty gas turbines are the increased
plant availability (estimated at an average of one week per year) and emissions-free operation
at plant location.

7.2 COMPRESSOR DRIVER OPTIONS

The following compressor driver options will be further studied on this report:
1) Option 1: Electric Motor
2) Option 2: Gas Turbine
The Steam Turbine is not considered on this report due to there are no steam sources available on
the site. The provision of steam generation on site will make the overall Project CAPEX increase
significantly.
