Abstract:
A method of controlling a gas compression system includes comparing an engine load of an engine of the gas compression system during operation to a load threshold and controlling a suction valve coupled to an intake of a reciprocating compressor. The suction valve is controlled based at least in part on the comparison of the engine load to the load threshold. Controlling the suction valve includes incrementing the suction valve toward a closed position to reduce flow of a gas into the intake when the engine load is greater than or equal to the load threshold.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving a fuel composition analysis, deriving a fuel index based on the fuel composition analysis, deriving a control adjustment for a gas engine based on the fuel index, and applying the control adjustment to an actuator of the gas engine.
