Main technical solutions for the Nord Stream pipeline


Bogdan Budzulyak – Gazprom
Vladimir Schurovsky – VNIIGAZ


Nord Stream is the joint project of three large concerns: Gazprom has 51%, Wintershall (a branch of BASF) and E.ON Ruhrgaz (a branch of E.ON) have 24,5% each. The European Commission assigned the project TEN (Trans–European Network) status in December 2000.
Gas will be supplied via Nord Stream to Germany, and further on to Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Great Britain and France. Other pipeline branches can be connected into Nord Stream to transport gas to North and Western Europe.

Belgorod ñombined heat and power plant is the first phase of the TGK-4 investment programme implementation


Gleb Levakov, Andrey Gusev – Belgorod combined heat and power plant (CHP)


The economy of the Belgorod region is going through the active growth and development. Large mining–processing plants are operated at their full capacity, numerous high–technology agroindustrial sites are erected, house–building industry is developed rapidly. This results in significant rise of electric power and heat consumption. Therefore large–scale projects based on state–of–the–art technologies are implemented in the power supply industry in order to match this growing demand, but also to give a powerful impulse for development in all other industries.

Operating experience of PGT-10 gas turbines in Tyumentransgaz


Oleg Vasin, Alexey Prokopets, Alexander Poshelyuzny – Tyumentransgaz


The intensive development of gas transport network ended in the early 90–es, at the same time the need for large–scale reconstruction of main gas transport network facilities became obvious. Ageing of gas transport facilities reduced their production capacity, reliability, efficiency, industrial and environmental safety.
To maintain the performance parameters in Gazprom it was decided to reconstruct four compressor rooms at Pelymskaya and Long–Yuganskaya compressor stations (Urengoy – Petrovsk and Urengoy – Novopskov gas pipelines) of Tyumentransgaz and replace GTK-10-4 gas compressor packages by PGT-10 units manufactured by Nuovo Pignone.

Timely diagnostics is the keystone to success


Vitaly Khaliullin – Aviadvigatel


Aviadvigatel is a designing company, its main activity is design and development of gas turbine engines for aviation and industry. Special emphasis is placed on timely diagnostics of gas turbine technical condition.

New generation GPA-10RM gas compression package


Oleg Bryndin, Robert Nabiullin, Denis Yurov – Saturn-Gas Turbines
Anatoly Gerasimov – NPO Saturn


The GPA-10RM gas compression package manufactured by Saturn – Gas Turbines followed the successful development of a whole range of unified engines with capacity range of 4-6.3-10 MW designed for operation within GPA-4RM, GPA-6,3RM, GPA-10R/RM gas compression packages. The successful development of GTD-4RM gas turbine and GPA-4RM gas compression package resulted in a contract signed between NPO Saturn and Gazprom for a long-term manufacturing, supplying and maintenance of the gas turbines, gas compression packages and gas turbine powerplants. The scope of the contract included design and manufacturing of the gas turbines rated at 6.3 MW and 10 MW intended for upgrading gas compression packages.

Power generation packages for gas pipelines


Alexander Shtraus, Nikolay Singaevsky – Elektrogaz (Gazprom)
Pavel Yatsynin – ElektrogazProyekt
Pavel Sprygin – Kavkaztransgaz


Power generation packages are designed by Elektrogaz (Gazprom) to improve power supply reliability on gas–main pipelines

Energy recovery package with pentane cycle


Yury Buholdin, Vladimir Olefirenko, Vladimir Parafeinik, Sergey Suhostavets – Sumy Frunze NPO


The most common exhaust gas heat recovery system used to generate electric power is the Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP), where binary working cycle is implemented with steam as the working medium. It is widely used in power generation. At the same time there are CCPP designs created for Compressor Stations of main gas pipelines [1]. However, to achieve the most effective implementation of the Rankine cycle in a CCPP the parameters of both steam and gas turbine sections need to be optimised. But this is not always possible if gas turbines drive turbine–compressor units.

Gas turbine emission reduction


Victor Sheptutsolov – Gazprom


Gazprom’s fleet of gas turbine driven gas compression packages is over 3 000 units with the total capacity of 35.5 million kW. The gas industry of Russia is the second largest consumer of fuel after power industry. The total annual CO emission in Gazprom is 570 thousand tonnes, NOx emission is 145.8 thousand tonnes and almost all of it is produced by gas turbine driven gas compression packages. The company’s own and governmental environmental services in all regions control the air condition and operating equipment at compressor stations.
