DESIGN OF  TURBOCOMPRESSOR FOR  BOOSTING LINE PRESSURE OF NATURAL GAS

Why we designed  this project ?

Ans: The idea behind this taking up this project was to start designing of Compressor regarding the boosting system of Natural gas as there are only few manufacturers of Turbocompresssors at international level & they have monopoly in this field. In this context, our country has to look towards them for any technical assistance & support. Consequently we took up this challenging task of designing a turbocompressor. Here we not only concentrated ourselves on the “Design” but we did our best to understand & solve the problems encountered during a compressor operation.

           This project is one of the essential design-engineering projects, which can go a long way in facilitating the compressor design. We learnt a great deal the operation and working of compressor & gas fields. This particular project may not be an immense success, but it may be considered as a milestone in the field of designing & development of plant for compressing Natural gas.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We started our work “In The Name Of Allah The Most Beneficent  & Merciful”. During the completion our project work we encountered many difficulties & problems .In order to solve these problems, we consulted our project advisor  & other teachers who provided us advice  & remarkable guidance. We wish to express them our heartful appreciation & respect.

In this regard we mention our gratitude to our project advisor Mr. Muhammad Akhlaque who guided us at every stage of this task.

Moreover, we are also grateful to Mr.Prof Dr Muzaffar Mahmood, Chairman Mechanical Engineering Department. His positive criticism on our work kept us on the right way. Inspite of his busy schedule, he gave us precious time.

Apart from our faculty, we are also thankful to officials & engineers of Sui Southern Gas Company Ltd. They devoted much of their time for tackling the difficulties & solving the problems. They were indeed a great source of inspiration for us. They provided us all the relevant data and technical information concerning this project. Without their assistance our project would not been a reality. Those officials of SSGC are listed below:
 


      He helped us in many different ways. He provided us technical data and books and arranged a visit of SSGC, Karachi Terminal and SSGC, Shikarpur.
 


He supplied handbooks of Ingersollrand and he also given us final piece of advice as well as verified our calculation. He elaborated us latest technology of Centrifugal Compressors He was very generous to us whenever we referred to him for any help.
 

A responsible person who introduced us with his subordinates at the organization .He made all the arrangements of our need.
