Station Configuration Impacts Availability, Fuel Consumption and Pipeline Capacity

摘要

Figure 8 summarizes the findings. One of the key differences is due to the large range of ambient temperatures in this application. This allows operators to shut one of the smaller units down for significant periods of time, while in the 2+1 configuration with larger units, it is not possible to shut down one unit because the remaining single unit cannot handle the entire duty due to being in choke area (Figure 8).
