compressor stations

Compressor stations are facilities used in natural gas pipelines to ensure the gas moves efficiently over long distances. They work by inserting powerful compressors that increase the pressure of the gas, allowing it to flow smoothly through the pipeline. These stations are strategically placed along the pipeline route, often every 40 to 100 miles, to maintain the required pressure. In addition to compressing gas, they monitor flow and quality, ensuring safety and efficiency in the transportation of natural gas from production sites to consumers and industries.
