City Gate Stations (CGSs) play a pivotal role in natural gas transportation, yet their energy consumption and environmental impact remain significant concerns. Depending on the season, a CGS with a capacity of 80,000m3/hr can consume anywhere between 45-145 GJ of energy per year. Despite this staggering energy demand, CGSs release substantial amounts of harmful pollutants like CO2, NOx, and SO2 into the environment, contributing to environmental degradation and climate change.

Addressing Inefficiencies in Heating Systems

Line heaters, critical components of CGSs, suffer from low efficiency levels, often operating at less than 50%. These inefficient heaters consume excessive fuel to generate the required heat, leading to significant energy waste and operational costs. Moreover, replacing conventional heaters with more efficient systems entails prohibitively high operating costs and may result in gas station stoppages, further exacerbating the challenges faced by operators.

Overcoming Limitations of Conventional Heat Exchangers

Conventional shell-tube and plate-type heat exchangers, commonly used in CGSs, face several limitations that hinder their effectiveness. Inefficient usage of the shell side, pressure drop issues, and the presence of dead or low-flow zones around baffles can lead to fouling, corrosion, and equipment failure over time. Additionally, tube vibration further compromises the reliability and efficiency of these heat exchangers, posing operational risks and maintenance challenges for operators.
