Pressure control valves for compressor station in Baltic-Pipe project
The Baltic-Pipe project will transport natural gas from Norway to Denmark and Poland. The 900 km long pipeline will increase energy reliability in Europe with up to 10 billion cubic meters of gas per year. In addition, the transition from coal to natural gas is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. [wikipedia link]
Compressors in compressor stations along this pipeline are responsible for maintaining or increasing the pressure of the natural gas. This is the only way to transport it over long distances! Along the 900km pipeline, compressor stations are built at predetermined intervals for this purpose.
