Two Coberra gas turbine compression packages are maintaining the pressure of up to 975 million CF/day of Canadian gas flowing through the completed portion of the Northern Border pipeline, stretching 822 miles from the Canada-Montana border to Ventura, Iowa. Details of the compressor station near Williston, North Dakota, show a Coberra model 3045 gas turbine, rated at 16,350 hp at 5900 rpm, directly connected to a Cooper-Bessemer Model RFA36 centrifugal compressor that has a 1040-psia suction pressure and 1271-psia discharge pressure at 4800 rpm. The compressor casing has been designed to handle the increased gas flow (up to 2.2 billion CF/day) once the entire Alaska Natural Gas Transportation System is completed. At that time, the unit would act as the first stage of two-stage (series) compression. The unattended station has automatic control and monitoring equipment.
