연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

Method and apparatus for controlling one or more first compressors (12), through which a compressor feed stream (10) is passed. At least one throttling valve (32) is provided downstream of a compressor recycle line (22), which is provided around the or each first compressor (12) and includes an in-line first recycle valve (24). Sometimes, at least a fraction of the compressor feed stream (10) is selectively allowed to bypass the or each first compressor (12) and the at least one throttling valve, via a bypass line (60). At least one of the throttling valves (32) is automatically controlled using the measurement values of at least one pressure and at least one flow of the group consisting of: the pressure (P1) of the compressor feed stream (10), the flow (F1) of the compressor feed stream (10), the pressure (P2) of the first compressed stream (20) and the flow (F2) of the first compressed stream (20). A first compressor controlled this way may be used in a method of cooling an initial hydrocarbon stream (100).

The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the use of the measurements values of step (c) comprises determining the operation of the first compressor relative to its choke line. 3. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising the step of: (h) automatically controlling the in-line first recycle valve using the measurements values of step (c). 4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the use of the measurements values of step (c) comprises determining the operation of the first compressor relative to its surge line. 5. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising selectively combining a first bypass stream in the first bypass line with the controlled stream. 6. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising co-ordinating the measurements of step (c) and the control of step (f) using a controller (XC). 7. The method as claimed in claim 1, comprising measuring at least one of the group consisting of: (i) the pressure (P1) and the flow (F1) of the compressor feed stream;(ii) the pressure (P1) of the compressor feed stream and the flow (F2) of the first compressed stream;(iii) the flow (F1) of the compressor feed stream and the pressure (P2) of the first compressed stream; and(iv) the pressure (P2) and the flow (F2) of the first compressed stream. 8.
