Description
DORSCH CONSULT was retained by Wintershall AG to plan the Rehden underground pore reservoir for gas storage including one compressor station. This involved extending the already extracted pore reservoir and connecting it to the core MIDAL/STEGAL natural gas pipeline system. The new underground storage reservoir is one of the largest of its kind in Germany.
The compressor station required for the input and withdrawal of the gas to and from the core system has the following capacities:
- Storage volume:
- 1st Development Stage 1.5 bn m3
- 2nd Development Stage 3.0 bn m3
- Withdrawal rate:
- 700 000 N m3/h
and comprises two gas turbine driven, radial turbo-compressor units. In addition the installation embraces the following structures:
- compressor hall
- gas volume meter station
