Abstract

This European Standard describes the specific functional requirements for the design, construction, operation, maintenance and disposal activities for safe and secure gas compressor stations. It applies to new gas compressor stations with a Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) over 16 bar and with a total shaft power over 1 MW. For existing compressor stations, this European Standard applies to new compressor units. Where changes/modifications to existing installations or gas composition take place, due account may be taken of the requirements of this European Standard. It does not apply to gas compressor stations operating prior to the publication of this Standard. The purpose of this European Standard is intended to: - ensure the health and safety of the public and all site personnel, - to cover environmental issues and - to avoid incidental damage to nearby property and - to open the gas infrastructure to accommodate renewable gases. This European Standard does not apply to: - off-shore gas compressor stations; - gas compressor stations for compressed natural gas filling-stations; - customer installations downstream of the point of custody transfer; - design and construction of driver packages (see Annex C); - mobile compressor equipment. For supplies to utility services such as small central heating boilers reference should be made to EN 1775.
