There were two objectives for the program described in this Final Report: 1) to develop and test a portable system to measure flow (and horsepower) in an operating centrifugal natural gas compressor, and 2) to understand and reduce the possible…
Measurement of the throughput of a natural gas compressor can be undertaken using a constant flow tracer dilution technique. In this technique, a constant flow of tracer is introduced into the piping upstream of the compressor while samples of…
The objective of the proposed research was to demonstrate the viability and utility of a constant flow tracer dilution technique for inferring the flowrate through a high-pressure natural gas centrifugal compressor. Testing was performed by injecting…
