How Condensate Is Discharged in a Natural Gas Pipeline

Natural gas is a valuable source of energy and a feedstock for various production processes. Within the transport chain, large gas volumes must be conveyed from the exploitation site via the processing plant to the consumers.

Pressure and temperature differences require renewed compression of the natural gas during pipeline transport. For this purpose, compressor stations are provided at uniform distances from each other. The condensate arising during compression and back cooling flows into condensate pits in which a float valve is installed.

As soon as the condensate level rises, the valve opens and, owing to the system pressure, the condensate is pushed through into a collection line. The valve closes again as the float falls. The functional unit (seat and cone) of the valve is permanently submerged in the condensate ensuring particular tightness as a protection against the escape of gas.
