| Summary: | City gas is one of government’s program in order to reduce fuel subsidies,
especially kerosene and/or LPG household sector consumption through The
Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resource. City gas is natural gas which is
distributed to households by multy stages pressure reducing. Siginificant
depressiurization raise hydrate formation. First depressurization, natural gas 73
Barg will be reduce to 16 Barg through The Pressure Regulating System (PRS) unit.
The second stage depressurization is 16 Barg to 4 Barg in Metering & Regulating
Station (MRS) Unit. The next depressurization stage is 4 Barg to 0.5 Barg which
occurs at the Regulator Station (RS). The last depressurization stage is gas from
the distribution pipe of 0.5 Barg through the household regulator so that the
pressure becomes 35 mbarg.
This thesis has purpose to analyze the probability of hydrate formation due to
significant pressure depressurization. ASPEN HYSYS V.10 software will be used as
tool to make hydrates formation modelling curve and analyze hydrate formation
operation condition.
From the modelling result under normal condition, Outlet temperature of PRS,
MRS and RS are 6.98 oC; 5.50 oC and 23.37 oC respectively. Hydrate formation
temperature are -27.64 oC for PRS, -36.40 oC for RS and -49.94 oC for RS. This
result shows that operation temperature is above hydrate formation temperature
and in safe operation condition. Simulation in variant variable i.e flow rate,
temperature and pressure of feed gas,Outlet pressure of MRS and RS. All variant
simulations from minimal until maximal condition is above hydrate formation
temperature area. Conclution for this simulation is pipeline system for city gas
doesnt need any method for prevention of hydrate formation.
