ABSTRACT / SUMMARY
Optimizing the compressor DGS line design during the FEED stage is crucial for achieving reliability, safety, environmental compliance, and cost-effectiveness throughout the compressor system’s lifecycle. This proactive approach sets the foundation for a well-performing and efficient facility. Key recommendations include enhancing P&ID notes to emphasize proper design considerations for the seal gas line.
Key points include:
- Reliability and Performance: Optimizing the compressor dry gas seal (DGS) line design ensures reliable and efficient operation, preventing unplanned downtime.
- Safety: A well-designed DGS system minimizes the risk of seal failure and gas leakage, enhancing safety.
- Environmental Compliance: Efficient DGS systems reduce fugitive emissions, aiding in environmental compliance.
- Operational Costs: Optimization during the FEED stage can lead to cost savings in the operational phase through reduced maintenance needs.
- Energy Efficiency: Properly designed DGS systems contribute to overall energy efficiency, lowering energy consumption and operating costs.
- Long-term Asset Integrity: Design decisions made during the FEED stage impact the long-term integrity of the compressor and associated equipment.
- Compliance with Standards and Codes: Ensuring adherence to industry standards and codes enhances system reliability and safety.
- Early Issue Identification: Addressing potential design issues early in the project lifecycle is more cost-effective.
- Ease of Operation: An optimized design simplifies operation and maintenance procedures.
