| Abstract | Meter stations located close to producers of natural gas often experience pulsation problems due to flow oscillations generated by reciprocating compressors required to pressurize the gas for pipeline transmission. The present paper deals with a unique metering pulsation problem in that despite the low level of pulsation that is not impairing the accuracy of the primary metering device (orifice) on the main run, a false registration of flow in the return run is observed. This was found to be caused by an acoustic resonance in the return run during the normal forward flow operation of the station. Field measurements of pulsation levels were taken at several locations in the meter station and a flow-acoustic analysis was conducted on the entire station using a flow-acoustic simulator (PULS). Investigation into the cause of the check valve chattering on the return run and registration of back flow were clearly identified as being caused by the return run tuned to a quarter wave length corresponding to the 1st harmonic of the pulsation source. It was found that simple pulsation abatement devices such as a Kotter plate, or even conventional flow conditioners such as NOVA 50E flow conditioner and coalescing filters (though not intended to be used as pulsation abatement devices) were not suitable to alleviate the problem. The problem was best solved in this case by a conventional acoustic expander inserted on the return run which resulted in completely eliminating check valve chattering and the false flow registration in the return run since implementation. It was concluded that it is important to recognize the nature of an acoustic problem before implementing general abatement devices that were sold as ‘cure-for-all-problems’. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
