Development and implementation of recommendations for the mobile compressor stations process equipment layout taking into account requirements for ensuring expansion of the efficient and safe operation conditions range

Improving efficiency of the process equipment attracts significant attention when conducting research in various technology areas. Urgent tasks include creation of the promising mobile systems minimizing the weight and size parameters, reduction of the critical units number and ensuring the technological processes safety. The paper solves a problem associated with limited mobility and autonomy of the compressor stations and units based on the high-speed piston compressors of medium and high pressure (including in the field operating conditions), as well as with restrictions on their safe operation at the elevated ambient temperatures. It presents the developed circuit and design solutions for combined compressor units, mobile compressor stations and units based on them, including those using a high-speed piston or screw compressor as the low-pressure compressor, and a low-speed long-stroke piston compressor as the medium and high pressure booster compressor. It should be noted, that switching from the four-axle automobile chassis to the three-axle ones, raising the departure angle from 8 to 18°, and increasing the autonomous operation duration by at least 2 times, which significantly improves mobility and autonomy, are absolutely possible.
