Abstract

The reduction of natural gas pressure at gas distribution stations and points is associated with a loss of energy. Installing an expander to utilization of the pressure drop allows to use this energy. But due to a significant gas temperature reduction after the expander, it is necessary to increase the amount of fuel gas for preheating. The authors performed a fuel-economic calculation to compare the balance between costs and energy production in cash equivalents
