Methane Blowdown / Pipeline Cross Compression

The revolutionary BAUER GRU^® Mobile Compressor Systems has been designed to help pipeline operators meet their ESG goals by allowing time-efficient blowdown of large sections of Natural Gas transmission pipelines all the way to 0 psig. Venting methane in the pipeline at 100, 50 or even 25 psig to the atmosphere during repairs and inspections is no longer acceptable practice. The BAUER GRU^® 42 Mobile Compressor System is capable of maintaining steady high flow during the blowdown cycle within a suction pressure range of 110 psig down to 0 psig while feeding existing reciprocating booster compressors at their optimal suction pressure from 100 to 200 psig. The BAUER GRU^®’s trailer-mounted mobile design allows it to be moved efficiently from site to site where pipeline repairs and maintenance are needed.
