ABSTRACT:
A natural gas compression heating process for regulating the operating temperature of the natural gas flowing through long pipelines in continuous permafrost and discontinuous permafrost regions. The heat obtained through compression of the natural gas, instead of actually heating as performed conventionally, is utilized to raise the temperature of the natural gas to only the desired operating temperature. Consequently, the locations of the natural gas compression heating process and compression stations along the pipeline in a permafrost region are determined by the flowing temperature profile of the pipeline instead of the conventional standard compression cost versus pipeline diameter analysis.
