This report is intended to serve as an engineering reference document that reviews, considers, and evaluates the technical and economic viability of existing and developmental greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction technologies and work practices for application to natural gas pipeline compressor stations and hydrocarbon liquid pipeline pump stations. The report is arranged so readers can track information organized in tables in sequential sections. Following sections that provide an introduction and background, Section 3 lists GHG emission sources in three categories: combustion, vented,...
This report is intended to serve as an engineering reference document that reviews, considers, and evaluates the technical and economic viability of existing and developmental greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction technologies and work practices for application to natural gas pipeline compressor stations and hydrocarbon liquid pipeline pump stations. The report is arranged so readers can track information organized in tables in sequential sections. Following sections that provide an introduction and background, Section 3 lists GHG emission sources in three categories: combustion, vented, and fugitive sources (or equipment leaks). Section 4 lists GHG emission reduction technologies and work practices for each of the emission sources. Section 5 presents technical feasibility and emission reduction information for each technology and work practice. Section 6 presents costs and economic analysis for each technology and work practice. The mitigation approaches include developmental technologies and less information is provided for these examples. Appendices B through D provide detailed information for the technologies and work practices that are considered the highest potential.
