Compression Station Portovaya Gazprom

Compression Station Portovaya Siirtec Nigi for Gazprom 

The project, located near Vyborg (Russia) involved the construction of a compressor station part of the Gryazovets-Vyborg gas trunkline. In this project are involved Rolls-Royce (GPUs) and Siirtec Nigi (GTU design and construction).The station is the starting point for gas supplies through the Nord Stream gas pipeline and secures gas transmission over 1.200 km. The Portovaya station has a 366-MW capacity and a 220-atmosphere absolute pressure. It comprises eight gas-pumping units (GPUs) - six with a 52-MW capacity and two with a 27-MW capacity.

The Nord Stream gas pipeline is a fundamentally new route for Russian gas exports to Europe. The gas pipeline will run across the Baltic Sea from the Portovaya Bay (in the vicinity of Vyborg) to the German coast (in the vicinity of Greifswald). The gas pipeline length will be some 1,200 km.

Located at the Russian coast of the Baltic Sea in the Portovaya Bay, the Portovaya CS will be a unique gas transmission facility with capacity (354 MW) unparalleled in Russia. Advanced equipment and modern technologies will be used for its construction.
