Pressure let-down gas expanders

In pressure let-down stations, natural gas pressure must be decreased to distribution network pressure. In this process, potential energy, available as high-pressure difference, is completely lost in the throttling process through a valve. This waste energy can be efficiently recovered to produce zero emission electricity through Exergy’s gas expander.

Exergy has designed a natural gas expander system that integrates into existing pressure let-down gas stations, serving both industries and residential buildings, to increase the efficiency and sustainability of the gas distribution system.

How a gas expander system works

A heat exchanger for gas preheating is positioned upstream from the expander.

The pressure let-down station lamination valves are replaced with the expander (turbine).

 

 

A generator is coupled with the expander to produce electricity, while achieving, at the system outlet, the desired pressure and temperature for natural gas distribution.
