Natural Gas Booster Compressor
Natural Gas Booster Compressor
(OP)
We are working on a project in which the medium-pressure gas piping was sized for 2 psig, but the available pressure is 1 psig. We are currently sizing the pipe for 1 psig, which will require tearing out and replacing a significant amount of pipe.
Do you know if it is legal and feasible to install a small booster compressor to boost the pressure from 1 psig to 2 psig? If yes can you suggest a make/model?
The meter has 10 psig at its inlet, but the utility will only allow 1 psig at the outlet.
The total demand is around 5,000 cfh.
Thank you

Take the "V" out of HVAC and you are left with a HAC(k) job.

Have any of you had experience with something like this?

Or that if they don't let you have your 2 psi that you will need to fire the thing with propane, bought from someone else.

As a carrot mention that you want to consume a large amount of gas (like billions of btu's). That should get you to an industrial client representative.
Sometimes Gas companies have low pressure mains in the particular district you are dealing in. In that case 1 psi may be all the pressure available. A more typical street pressure is 60 psi.

Should be easy to adjust the reg pressure up to 2 psi.
