Russia is scheduled to begin receiving gas from the 700-mile sytem of Iranian Gas Trunkline late next year (1970). IGAT'S pipeline will utilize 385 miles of 42-in. and 307 miles of 40-in. pipe as it stretches from the producing fields in the SW. Iran to the export point on the Caspian Sea. Ten English Electric 8,700-hp industrial turbines and 34 Soviet-made 11,400-hp turbines will power the project when it reaches its ultimate capacity of 1,650 MMcfd in 1970. An additional eight 6,000-hp gas engine reciprocating compressor units will be used on the gathering system. The system will initially supply gas to Shiraz, Esfahan, and Tehran for industrial use in the early spring of 1970 with the Russian export scheduled for that fall. A base map shows the route of the Iranian Gas Trunkline. The design of the main transmission line was computerized, taking into consideration basic concepts and other technical and economical parameters. The compression on the system, the main line compressor stations the specifications of the U.S.S.R. turbocompressors, and the system automation and supervisory control are described.
