The paper reviews the technical developments and changes in philosophy currently underway in British Gas to improve the utilization of existing and future gas compressor plants. These developments have two main objectives, first to improve the operation of all plants, with corresponding reductions in operating costs, and second to reduce capital investment in future plants by good design and accurate planning. The paper considers in some detail machinery selection including the possibility of a short-term peak operation of plant and the use of waste heat recovery schemes. Paper No. 79-GT-156.
