Modernization of the Compressed Air Supply System for Gas Compressor Units (GPA) — •Sergey Kalinin — Moscow, Russia

The goal is to reduce the operational costs of a gas compressor unit. A design involving a block-container automated unit with a gas turbine drive of the NK-16-18STD type with an 18 MW power output, a centrifugal gas compressor reaching a final pressure of 9.9 MPa and a compression ratio of 2.32, equipped with a rotor featuring magnetic bearings and end gas-dynamic seals, has been considered.

The compressed air delivery system for the GPA's needs has been examined. An alternative air delivery system with the required parameters has been reviewed. A technological solution and structural design for the alternative air delivery system have been proposed. Calculations for the technological and structural parameters of the GPA sealing system have been carried out. Economic justification for the project to modernize the compressed air delivery system is provided. This research was made in the Strategic Academic Leadership program.
