Jauniūnai Natural Gas Compression Station
Jauniūnai natural gas compression station is a gas compressor station in Lithuania, located in Jauniūnai, Širvintos District Municipality. Capacity at the station is 34.5 MW. The station will be the end point of the planned Gas Interconnection Poland–Lithuania. History Due to increasing natural gas consumption in Lithuania the Panevėžys natural gas compression station, existing gas compression station was not sufficient to service demand. In 2007 the Lithuanian National Energy Strategy Act was adopted with a new natural gas compression station project included. Jauniūnai was selected due mainly to its location along the Minsk-Vilnius pipeline, the Vilnius-Kaunas-Kaliningrad pipeline and two threads of the Vilnius-Panevėžys-Riga pipeline. In 2009 construction works started and were finished in 2010. The cost of construction was estimated at 200 million Lithuanian litas, litas.

Compressor Station
A compressor station is a facility which helps the movement of gas from one location to another in a pipeline system. Gases typically transported over long distances in this way include natural gas, methane, ethylene, hydrogen, ammonia and carbon dioxide. While being transported through a pipeline the gas pressure gradually decreases due to frictional effects and needs to be periodically repressurized at intervals of about . Siting of compressor stations is dependent on terrain, accessibility and whether there are other tie-ins such as gas wells in the vicinity. Frequent elevation changes and a greater number of gas wells will require more compressor stations. The compressor station, also called a pumping station, is the "engine" that powers a long-distance gas pipelines. As the name suggests, the station compresses the gas (increasing its pressure) thereby providing additional energy to move it through the pipeline. The compressor is driven by an electric motor or an engine fuele ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gas Interconnection Poland–Lithuania
Gas Interconnection Poland–Lithuania (GIPL) is a gas pipeline between Poland and Lithuania. The pipeline was commissioned and started commercial operation on 1 May 2022. The length of the pipeline is and the natural gas can flow both directions. The pipeline will run from Jauniūnai natural gas compression station (GCS) in eastern Lithuania to the Hołowczyce GCS station in eastern Poland. The project was implemented by gas transmission system operators AB Amber Grid (Lithuania) and Gaz-System SA (Poland). The completion of GIPL integrated Lithuania, together with the other two Baltic states and Finland, into the European Union (EU) gas transmission system. History Although the idea of gas interconnection between Poland and Lithuania can be traced as early as 1992, more active preparatory works started in 2008–2009. At that time, Poland considered interconnection with neighbouring states and construction of an LNG terminal in Swinoujscie. During these years the first a ...

Lithuanian Litas
The Lithuanian litas (ISO 4217, ISO currency code LTL, symbolized as Lt; plural ''litai'' (nominative) or ''litų'' (genitive) was the currency of Lithuania, until 1 January 2015, when it was replaced by the euro.

The euro was expected to replace the litas by 1 January 2007, but persistent high inflation and the economic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Natural Gas Compression Stations In Lithuania
Nature is an inherent character or constitution, particularly of the ecosphere or the universe as a whole. In this general sense nature refers to the laws, elements and phenomena of the physical world, including life. Although humans are part of nature, human activity or humans as a whole are often described as at times at odds, or outright separate and even superior to nature. During the advent of modern scientific method in the last several centuries, nature became the passive reality, organized and moved by divine laws. With the Industrial Revolution, nature increasingly became seen as the part of reality deprived from intentional intervention: it was hence considered as sacred by some traditions (Rousseau, American transcendentalism) or a mere decorum for divine providence or human history (Hegel, Marx). However, a vitalist vision of nature, closer to the pre-Socratic one, got reborn at the same time, especially after Charles Darwin. Within the various uses of the word t ...
