INTRODUCTION
GAIL- Gas Authority of India Limited
GAIL is one of the MAHARATNA enterprises and ranks among PSU

public sector unit in India.

It was establish in 16th of August ,1984.
GAIL is Indias flagship natural gas company, integrating all
aspects of natural gas value chain (including Exploration &
Production, Processing, transmission, distribution and Marketing)
and its related services.
GAIL covers its main portion in (HVJ) Hazira-Vijaypur-Jagdishpur
line .In between this three station there are 6 fertilizers companies
and 6 power plant.
It is one of the largest cross country natural gas pipeline projects
in the world.
This 1800Km long pipeline was built at the cost of 17 billion
rupees(US$280 million)

DIBIYAPUR REGION
Dibiyapur Compressor station is in Auraiya district spread in

1089Kms of pipeline (from 2 TO 30) of 18MMSCMD supply.

It is a two stage booster station which boost the incoming gas

from Vijaipur up to 90Kg/cm2 for its consumers.

Compressor station consist 2nos gas turbine generators(GTG),

3nos gas
turbine compressors(GTC) , 2nos of European gas
turbine(EGT)
Four Power transformers for the eminent operation of the power

system.
For Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), there is a battery room

containing Ni-Cd Batteries.

Major customers- PATA, NTPC, IGFCL, IFFCO, BHEL, KSFL, CUGL,

GGL AND TCL.

Sale of NG(natural gas) in DIBIYAPUR region is approx 18 MMSCMD.

At Pressure of 58Kg/cm2, received from GAIL Vijaipur, through 30 HVJ

Pipeline.
This total rich natural gas (Feed gas ) is passed to GAIL Pata, where rich

gas is converted into lean gas, which has 98.5% of C1, is received back at
the compressor station from GAIL, Pata, at pressure of 48Kg/cm2.
Approx. 3.2 MMSCMD of this lean gas is supplied through pressure

reduction skid to NTPC, Auraiya.

However , remaining 6.6MMSCMD of lean gas is compressed in two stages

( Primary & Booster compressor) to get discharge pressure of 90Kg/cm 2

5.5MMSCMD is transmitted through 18 Jagdishpur line to fulfill the

contractual requirement of end consumers . IFFCO, Phulpur, IGFCL

Jagdishpur & BHEL, besides city gas consumers at Kanpur and Lucknow.
The balance approx. 1.1 MMSCMD of compressed gas is dumped to 24
Aonla line.

GAS TURBINE COMPRESSOR (GTC)

It is ALLISON GTC also known as primary compressor of

2.7MW. Its has a capacity of 175 KSM3/Hr. It can compress

48 -68kg/cm2 .
It has an upstream rotating compressor coupled to a

downstream turbine & combustion chamber in -between.

Like an Internal Combustion engine it sucks air from the

atmosphere, compresses it. The fuel is injected and ignited.

The gases expand doing work and finally exhausts outside.
Unlike other gas compressor, it is a mechanical device that
increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume.

GAS TURBINE GENERATOR (GTG)

This power generation system has 2nos of GTG of each

2.7MW.
They have the same capacity as GTC the only difference is

that it generates high power and work as a source to boost

mechanical energy for other engine and it is controlled by
valve through which it can be shut-down.
The GTGs are single shaft, multi-combustor type model of

Allison.

EUROPEAN GAS TURBINE

COMPRESSOR(EGT)
There are 2 EGT A & B, are installed in which EGT-A can

only be operated in booster mode (Series operation with

ALLISON GTCs) & by the time EGT-B is in standby mode
It is a 17 stage compressor which compresses 1Kg of gas into

17Kg, works in parallel /series with earlier compressors .It has

a capacity of 389 KSCM/Hr. It can compress 68-90Kg/cm2. A
gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine.
It also has an upstream rotating compressor coupled to a

downstream turbine like GTC.

GENERATOR

The compressor Station is equipped with a 1MW EDG which starts

automatically on failure of normal power supply and the power supply

resumes within 50sec of sensing power loss. It is combination of
adiesel engine with anelectric generator to generate electrical energy.
It is used to all critical loads (DEG Auxiliary Motors, UPS AC& DC,

Lighting indoor & Outdoor, Instrument Air Compressors, Jockey Pump,

GTG Auxiliary Motors, ALLISON & EGT machines auxiliaries).
They are used as emergency power-supply if the grid fails, as well as

for more complex application.

METER PROVER
Only GAIL, Dibiyapur is equipped with Turbine Meter Proving System, to provide

efficient flow of gas to its customers.

The gas is transferred through means of pipes which contains turbine to

measure its flow and all necessary data. A turbine meter consists of a
practically friction-free rotor pivoted along the axis of the meter tube and
designed in such a way that
the rate of rotation of the rotor is proportional to the rate of flow of gas
through
the meter. This rotational speed is sensed by means of an electric pick-off coil
fitted to the outside of the meter housing.
The reference gas can be regulated by adjusting or calibrating with master

meter.
It consist of (TT),(PT) & (DPT) on the MUT site.DPT is connected b/w master site

and MUT site. During calibration a MUT is being compared against a master

SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
TAKES PLACE
De-pressurize the MUT.
Install the MUT and its

instrumentation is connected.
Pressurize the MUT .
If any leakage, is tested.
Set flow rate through the meter run

to the desired value set by

electrical pickup.
Monitor process until the desired

level of stability in P,T and flow rate

have been achieved.
Measurements are then performed.

GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY(GC)
The rich gas which is transferred to GAIL PATA they take high

carbon content which when turns into lean gas. That is passed into
GC which shows the exact amount of different gas content.
A small sample gas is injected into the carrier gas flow path of the
column system, which is Micro-packed stainless steel. The column
material is selected to provide partitioning of certain gases, such
that separation occurs before the gas exits the column- selective
retardation.
By gas selector the concentration of each component is then
measured at the end of the column. From the knowledge of the
concentrations of each component, any property of the gas can be
calculated.
Use of (TCD) to measure the concentration of each component. It
senses the changes in the thermal conductivity of the column
effluent and compare it to the reference flow of carrier gas.

CONTROL ROOM
It is the controlling area of compressor station with highly sensitive

computers. All the working procedure which is in remote area is controlled

through this room
This room contains several cabinets into which numbers of PLC

(Programmable Logic Controller) is fitted.

It is used for automation of electro-mechanicalprocesses for controlling of

machinery in factoryassembly.
They are designed for multiple
I/P & O/P arrangements, extended
temperature ranges, immunity to
electrical noise, and resistance to
vibration and impact. All the data
Signals , transmitters', sensors attached
to different machines sends signal to PLC
,to which PLC convert into a readable
signal through the computers.

CONCLUSION
GAIL has setup a huge pipeline over India with its easy working condition for
the employees and also with their great safety. It has set-up at least more
than one back-up system so that system works with no hazardous
accident.
After summing up all I conclude this report with my utmost privilege in
doing summer training with very cooperative atmosphere.
