The Design, Fabrication, and Installation of a Quiet Compressor Station

Stringent environmental constraints are usually associated with or applied to the siting and installation of new pipeline facilities. This has resulted in a significant portion of the design effort and ultimate cost of the facility to be dedicated to the mitigation of these environmental concerns. This paper describes how a compressor station can be designed and built such that stringent silencing requirements can be satisfied. The paper also references specific aspects of design which were successfully applied to the Parkway Compressor Station, Canada.Copyright © 1991 by ASME
