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] |
