Portable, pre-manufactured, modular natural gas delivery stations

Abstract

A pre-manufactured natural gas delivery station is presented to a client that filters, measures, controls, pre-heats, pressure reduces, odorizes, and provides communication, provides excess power, and provides excess heat for a host site. The design is pre-approved by supply pipeline, end users and regulatory bodies. The final configuration is welded, assembled, wired, painted, tagged, and tested, at a factory site and then shipped to an installation site in accordance with customer's requirements. The station is commissioned, operators are trained and a three volume project DATA book is installed in the control room for documentation. The pre-manufactured natural gas delivery station can include a high pressure gas metering room and regulating room that can be selectively coupled to other prefabricated modular rooms or modules. Preferably, the other prefabricated modules include an odorant room, a heating room, an energy generation room and an electrical control and communications room. The equipment and control systems for each room is preinstalled and secured to the building structure in each of the different modules at the factory site. The energy generation room and the electrical control room allows the gas metering station to be operated by electrical energy from a local utility line or from an internal generator that is fueled by the gas being metered.
