Lebanese Gas Pipeline 24" In Tripoli Oil Installations
The Lebanese gas pipeline 24” and its components are considered as a vital lifeline for improving the economic development in Lebanon and trough it, Deir Ammar power plant is being supplied with the alternative power, the natural gas that provides the Lebanese country with a significant financial and economic welfare.It also
improves the performance of machinery and equipment and preserves the
environment and public safety. The gas pipeline 24” found in the installations
is considered as the first infrastructure in the field of machinery, equipment
and pipelines since the project of this pipeline 24” is said to have in the
future wide extensions along the Lebanese coast in order to supply the entire
electricity plants and the different industrial factories with the alternative
power, the natural gas, which also increases energy prices in different
factories in Lebanese.
The Components of the Lebanese Gas Pipeline Project
The Lebanese gas pipeline consists of the following
parts:
1-Gas pipeline 24” is 30 km long,
extending fromtheLebanese-Syrian border
through Addabosiyato the Tripoli installations connectedtothe
wide network(the Arab Gas
Pipeline) throughthe Syriannetworkand the Jordaniannetworkcoming fromthe Egyptian networkviaElArish.
2-The pipeline is equipped
with a cathodic protectionthrough fourstations along theline course, in addition to the solarenergywhich nourishes the cathodicprotection.
3-The pipeline isequippedwithan optical cable
which transmitsallsignalsandrequiredinformationbetween stationsfor work facilitation.
4-The pigging launcher station
The Lebanese gaspipelineisequipped,ontheLebanese-Syrian borders, with the pigging launcher station which is used tosweepandcleanthe pipelineand to insert nitrogen in order to launch gas. We use this
stationfor the maintenance and the
operationsof the pipeline.
5-Measuring Station in the Installation
The gas launched from Syria through
the gas pipeline 24”, is being received in the station of filtration and
measurement in the installation where the quantities of gas are being
controlled and filtered, in addition to calculating quantities and controlling
quality.
The maximum power for
the process of filtrationand
measurement in the station is:
250.000
m3/h, which is equivalent to 6.000.000 m3/day
6-Pipeline 10” from the installations to Deir Ammar power plant
- The length of pipeline 10” is
approx. 1.3 km. It is equipped with the pigging launcher and pigging receiver.
This line is used for transmitting the natural gas from the installation - the
measurement and filtration station, to the station of reducing pressure in Deir Ammar power plant.
7-The station of reducing pressure in Deir Ammar power Plant
- This station consists of filtration andmeasurementequipments and boilers by which thetemperatureofgas
is being raised, and thus, thepressure
can be reduced through the station of reducing pressure.This process is also required
to supply theturbineunitsinDeirAmmarPlantwith thenatural gas inaccordancewiththefollowingcharacteristics:
- Quantity: 2.500.000 - Pressure: 19.50 - Temperature: 15° C
- The maximum power for
launching gas through the station of reduction is 105.000 m3/hr, which is
equivalent to approx. 2.500.00 m3/day within the permanent capability. This
quantity is sufficient for activating Deir Ammar Plant turbine no.2.
- Power required for every
turbine: 50.000 * 24 = 1.200.000 m3/day.
- Total power required for every
turbine no.2: 2.400.000 m3/day.
- Power of Deir Ammar Plant for
electricity:450 MW.
8-The construction of the Lebanese pipeline gas started
on 2003 and ended on 2007. It was activated on 2009 after completing all
required experiments, in cooperation withtheEgyptianCompanyfor Natural Gas-GASCO. Then, on
8/9/2009, the gas was launched into the pipeline and on 11/11/2009 the pipeline
was perpetually run.
9-The Ministry and the Installation Plan
This plan aims at expanding the
use of natural gas in all over Lebanese for the sake of saving money, developing
the economy and protecting the environment against pollution. The gas project
in Lebanon is required to be among the plans which aim at reducing the financial deficit in
Lebanonthrough the use of thismaterialand the future prospecting for the natural gas material in the
specific economic region in Lebanon and through constructing the entire network
along the Lebanese coast of length 195 km nourishing all plants and industrial factories
found along the coast. The
ministry also intends to use the LNG material to transfer it into natural gas,
in case it is not available to launch the natural gas from Egypt - Syria.
