The compressor, as the name suggests, is a part of gas purification process in which the pressures should be maintained at an optimal level. Failure to do so may have detrimental effects on the operation of the compressor and the overall objective of gas refinery. One of the critical points in the compressor is the stonewall point. The point is also known as the choke limit and exceeding the same may lead to adverse effects in compression of the natural gas. Past the stone wall limit, all that the managers of the compression process can do to …
