Figure 62  General Gas 08 – Pipeline Looped Energy Saving

It is proposed that the first 34 mile section of a 42.5 mile long pipeline should be looped to save energy (compressor power).


The details for the original pipeline layout & the proposed looped pipeline design can be seen in the two models shown. The delivery pressure of 500 psi.g is maintained for both cases.


The looped system reduces the required pressure at the start of the pipeline, while maintaining a delivery pressure of 500 psi.g.
