4 iol Technical Report IGEM For Chartered Membership To The Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers Example DEVELOPMENT OF RISK CONTROL MEASURES FOR GAS TURBINES USED IN GAS TRANSMISSION May 2011 Executive Summary Purpose: This Technical report outlines the eiteon and decision making pronase developed at Mortat Compressor Station fr National Grid fo measure {he exicting ventilation system operational efcioncy agalnet the guidance ‘Provided by the HSE atthe time of projet (PM4 2009) It also recognises ‘Previous work and considers the inroducton of, technology enhancements, Increased efficiency and envionmertal gains, This review agains PMA Provided a comprehensive risk assessment and demonstrated the use of bt Practice with assured operational responsibilty. ‘Solution: The guidance in PMB4 was weighted towards the provision ofa positive alr driven ventilation system for gas turbine enclssues, promoting positive cooing ar movement over hot surfaces and crecting airflow to areas ‘of ow or poor ventilation, Moat Compressor Stalon was considered high ‘lorty because the existing ventilation system didnot meet tis guidance, “The other elements considered were to ensure tha the gas turbine coud not ‘operate the venation system failed, and ensure that any potential gas {aks could not accumulate to an explosive mixture, Outcome: A tomplato was devised following tis projctthatcutinad a method of assessing exiting ventilation eystom cperatinal performance. This template was thon extended tothe rest ofthe National Gilet, A soore card ‘was developed that provided an indication of compliance withthe HSE {uidance document PMB4, 2003 extending to present standard BS 18021789, Next steps: As a result of his projet National Gd has evaluated all ‘compressor stations against the sarme measurement crrion an identied Potential areas of sk that require modification or enhancement Contents.
