EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In the Fall of 1995, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, in cooperation with
RAO Gazprom, the Russian national gas production and transmission company, sponsored a
leak detection and measurement program at four compressor stations in Russia. The purpose
of the program was to measure leaks from natural gas compressor components as a first step
toward developing better overall estimates of methane emissions from Russian natural gas
pipeline compressors. This cooperative measurement program marks the first time that actual
leak measurements have been taken at Gazprom facilities. Previous emissions estimates
made by Gazprom and others have been calculated by subtracting from the total amount of
gas produced the sum of (1) all natural gas delivered to consumers and (2) gas used internally
by the natural gas system. Another objective of this leak detection and measurement program
was to begin to identify profitable opportunities to reduce fugitive emissions at Gazprom
compressor stations. This report represents the initial chapters of a larger report to be
developed jointly by EPA and Gazprom this summer on opportunities to reduce methane
emissions from sources in the Gazprom system.
To perform the leak measurements, EPA and Gazprom used the state-of-the-art High Flow
Sampling System developed in the US. by the Gas Research Institute and lndaco Air Quality
Services. Two of the four compressor stations surveyed are located at the southern end of the
Gazprom network near the city of Petrovsk; the others are near Moscow. The stations are
typical of Russian compressors, with an average throughput of between 65 and 190 million
cubic meters per day.
The results of this leak detection and maintenance program found that a small number of
compressor station components accounted for the vast majority of the measured leaks. This
was also true within component categories -- that a few leaks were much larger and accounted
for most of the leaking natural gas. This finding is consistent with leak patterns in the US. At
the Gazprom facilities, the largest leaks were found at unit valve vents. Other large leaks were
found at recycle vents, station blowdown vents and start gas vents. The largest leak was
estimated at 294,556 cubic meters per year.
This study uses the leak rates measured during the survey to estimate emission factors
(average leak rates) for component types. The emission factors were then used to estimate a
total leak rate from all Russian compressors using Gazprom estimates of the number of
compressors systemwide. These findings should be considered preliminary due to the small
sample of components measured and the uncertainty surrounding the numbers and types of
components at all Gazprom compressor stations. Nevertheless, the findings demonstrate the
potential for profitable methane emissions reduction opportunities.
Specifically, the study highlights the probable effectiveness of directed inspection and
maintenance programs at Russian compressor stations. The distribution of leaks,
concentrated as they are in a few components, suggests that a directed inspection and
maintenance program could profitably reduce total leakage substantially by focusing on a few
types of components.

Compressor Stations in Russia
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose of the Study
In the Fall of 1995, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") sponsored a methane
leak detection and measurement demonstration program at four natural gas pipeline
compressor stations in Russia. The purpose of this program was
(1) to measure leaks from natural gas compressor station components as a first step

natural gas pipeline compressors; and
(2) to begin to identify profitable opportunities to reduce fugitive emissions at Russian

The program was undertaken with the cooperation of Russia's RAO Gazprom ("Gazprom"),
which owns and operates the Unified Gas Supply System of Russia, and under the auspices of
the U.S./Gazprom Working Group, a cooperative public/private initiative with Gazprom, EPA,
and the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE"). The Working Group, organized under the Gore-

In addition to this recent measurement work, Working Group activities have also included valve
sealing and pipeline corrosion demonstration projects, a Spring 1995 U.S. study tour for
Gazprom technical experts to U.S. natural gas facilities, and a Fall 1995 conference in
Saratov, Russia on natural gas pipeline standards and project finance.
This cooperative measurement program marks the first time that actual leak measurements
have been taken at Russian facilities. Previous emissions estimates made by Gazprom and
others have been calculated by subtracting the sum of (1) all natural gas delivered to
consumers and (2) natural gas used internally by the natural gas system from the total amount
of natural gas produced. This report represents the initial findings for a larger report to be
developed jointly by EPA and Gazprom this summer on opportunities to profitably reduce
methane emissions from key sources in the Gazprom system.
1.2 Overview of the Russian Gas System
Russia, the world's largest producer, transporter, and exporter of natural gas, holds reserves
estimated at about 212 trillion cubic meters ("TCM"). In 1994, Russia produced just over 600
billion cubic meters ("BCM") of natural gas, consuming about 400 BCM internally and exporting
just over 100 BCM to western Europe and 80 BCM to the Commonwealth of Independent
States ("CIS") countries and the Baltic states. By way of comparison, the Russian natural gas
market is roughly the size of the U.S. natural gas market: U.S. domestic consumption was 590
BCM (or 20.75 trillion cubic feet) in 1994, domestic production was 560 BCM (the balance
accounted for by imports).
Approximately 90 percent of Russian gas production originates from western Siberia in the
Tyumen District. Other producing areas include the Orenburg region in the Northern
Caucasus, and the Komi region in the Northwest. See Exhibit 1.2.1.
About 95 percent of natural gas in Russia is produced by Gazprom - a joint stock company
partially owned by the Russian government. Gazprom also owns most of the country's
140,000 km high pressure transmission pipeline system and 16 storage facilities.' Gazprom
has eight regional production divisions and fifteen regional transmission divisions, which are
referred to as "associations." The most important of the transmission associations are
Tumentransgaz, Uraltransgaz, Permtransgaz, Volgogradtransgaz, Mostransgaz, and
Yugtransgaz. Approximately 40 percent of Gazprom equity is held by the Russian
government, while the remaining 60 percent is distributed between Gazprom employees and
outside investors.'
Gazprom sells gas directly to some industrial customers, but mainly sells gas to local gas
distribution networks which resell directly to end users. The distribution networks are
controlled by a large number of regional and municipal companies, most of which operate
under the umbrella of the former state distribution company, Rosgazifikatsiya. About 60
percent of Rosgazifikatsiya is owned by the Russian g~vernment . ~

1.3 The U.S. Natural Gas STAR Program
The work sponsored by EPA in Russia to measure methane emissions from natural gas
compressor stations parallels ongoing efforts in the U.S. under EPA's Natural Gas STAR
Program. The STAR Program is one of the activities included in the 1993 U.S. Climate
Change Action Plan, which outlines activities that the U.S. will undertake to reduce U.S.
greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2000. The Natural Gas STAR Program
is a voluntary, industrylgovernment partnership between PA and the US. natural gas industry
designed to reduce methane emissions from U.S. natural gas systems. (Methane-the primary
component of natural gas-is a potent greenhouse gas, 25 times more effective at trapping
heat than carbon dioxide.) The STAR Program for the transmission and distribution sectors
began in 1993; a new program for producers was launched in Spring 1995.
Companies that join the STAR Program (STAR Partners) agree to implement cost-effective
Best Management Practices ("BMPs") that reduce leaks and losses of natural gas. PA
supports these activities by promoting information sharing, and technology transfer, removing
unjustified regulatory barriers to implementing STAR BMPs, and providing Partners with public
recognition for their success in reducing methane gas emissions.

In the first three years of the program, STAR Partners reduced methane emissions by 10
billion cubic feet ("Bcf'), worth approximately $20 million. By the year 2000, STAR Partners
are expected to achieve reductions of over 35 Bcf of natural gas, worth over $70 million.
Savings of this magnitude provide enough additional natural gas to heat 500,000 homes and
are the carbon equivalent of removing over 3 million automobiles from the nation's roads.
Exhibit 1.3.1 Natural Gas STAR Best Management Practices for Reducing Methane
Emissions in the US.
The approach to reducing natural gas leaks developed by the Natural Gas STAR Program in
the U.S. has direct application in Russia (as well as in other countries). The major elements of
this approach include:
ldentify emissions reductions opportunities: EPA works closely with the US. natural
gas industry to better understand and quantify emissions sources. EPA and
Gazprom are undertaking a similar collaboration, building on this previous work in
the US.

In the first three years of the program, STAR Partners reduced methane emissions by 10
billion cubic feet ("Bet"), worth approximately $20 million. By the year 2000, STAR Partners
are expected to achieve reductions of over 35 Bcf of natural gas, worth over $70 million.
Savings of this magnitude provide enough additional natural gas to heat 500,000 homes and
are the carbon equivalent of removing over 3 million automobiles from the nation's roads.

The approach to reducing natural gas leaks developed by the Natural Gas STAR Program in
the U.S. has direct application in Russia (as well as in other countries). The major elements of
this approach include:
Identify emissions reductions opportunities: EPA works closely with the U.S. natural
gas industry to better understand and quantify emissions sources. EPA and
Gazprom are undertaking a similar collaboration, building on this previous work in
the U.S.

2.0 FIELD MEASUREMENT PROGRAM
2.1 Sources of Leaks at Compressor Stations
The layout of a typical Russian compressor station is presented in Exhibit 2.1.1. Photographs
of the compressor stations where measurements were made are presented in Appendix A.
Compressor stations are located at intervals along the pipeline network to increase or maintain
pipeline pressures and thus allow the gas to flow. The pressures in the pipelines at the four
Gazprom compressor stations surveyed were between 50 and 75 kilograms per square
centimeter (about 700 to 1060 pounds per square inch).
Gas is drawn from the mainline large diameter pipes (about 1.2 meters in diameter) by the
suction created by the compressors. The natural gas first flows through a series of scrubbers,
where any condensed liquids or other impurities are removed from the gas stream. (See
Photo A.4.) From the scrubbers the gas enters the intake section of the station valve yard, a
large collection of pipes and valves that distributes gas to the various compressors of the
station. (See Photo A.l.) The many valves in the station valve yard also allow operators to
redirect gas flows as needed. For example, compressors that are down for maintenance can
be bypassed by closing the appropriate valves. Part of the gas stream may also be redirected
to fuel the compressor engines for gas-driven compressors. Electric compressors, which are
common in Russia, do not use fuel gas.
From the valve yard, natural gas is run through the compressors -- the compressor stations
surveyed in this study had between 10 and 31 compressors each -- where the pressure is
increased to the level required by the pipeline system. The compressors themselves are
located in large shed-like buildings to contain noise and to protect them from the elements.
After compression, the gas is then returned to the discharge section of the station valve yard
and from there it flows through coolers to remove the excess heat generated by the
compression process. (See Photo A.5.) Once cooled, the gas is then pushed back into the
pipes of the mainline under the now much higher discharge pressure.
A significant part of a standard leak survey is directed at the compressors and the valves and
vents attached to them. A typical compressor station in Russia has centrifugal compressors
driven by an engine running off a portion of the gas being compressed. There are a number of
vents on the compressors that can be major leak sources. The fuel gas and starter gas vents
release gas from the engine and compressor starter into the atmosphere. The compressor
blowdown vents release gas from inside the compressors when they are depressurized. (In
Russia, compressors are routinely depressurized when brought off-line.) These blowdown
vents are composed of a pair of unit valve vents, a smaller blowdown valve, and an open-
ended stack located in the station valve yard. The unit valve vent is kept open and the
blowdown valve closed when the compressor is running, while the reverse is true when the
compressor is not running. Leaks from either one can escape through the stack into the
atmosphere.
The various ball, gate, control and plug valves that control and direct the flow of gas
throughout the entire compressor station complex are also sources of leaks. Other possible
leak sources are pressure relief valves associated with the compressors, scrubbers, and

pipe thread connectors located throughout the station. All of these components are usually
screened in compressor station surveys. Because of time restrictions on this study, only
limited sections of the four compressor stations, as outlined below, were surveyed and
measured.
2.2 Field Measurements
The field measurement program described in this report was conducted over two separate two-
week periods. The first measurements were made from October 17, 1995 to October 26, 1995
at the compressor stations of Storojovka and Petrovsk. These stations are located near the
city of Saratov and operated by Yugtransgaz. The second set of measurements was
conducted from November 27, 1995 to December 7, 1995 at the Pervomaiskaya and
Chaplygin compressor stations. These stations are operated by Mostransgaz and located near
the town of Michurinsk. (Selected photographs from the field measurements are in Appendix
A,) Due to time constraints, a subset of the components at each site was selected for the
measurement program. In total, lndaco screened 1,800 components, finding leaks and taking
measurements at 348 of these. The number of compressors at each site, the operating
pressure, and the throughput of each station are described in Exhibit 2.2.1.

Measurements at the Petrovsk compressor station were made at components in the field and
valve yard and at blowdownlunit valve vents. The site was described as having European
components rather than Russian components. Although the compressors were operating, time
limitations prevented measurements at the compressors themselves. The focus of the
measurements at this site were the leaks across the unit valve leaks to the blowdown vents.
The temperature during these measurements ranged between approximately -4C to 8OC with
moderate winds.
At the Storojovka compressor station, measurements were made of components in the field
and valve yard. The compressors at the facility were depressurized during the measurement
program due to construction at the station. Consequently, no measurements are available at
the compressors or at the blowdownlunit valve vents. The weather during the measurement
was blustery with temperatures between -4C and 8OCwith intermittent rain and strong winds.
2.3 Leak Detection and Measurement Methodology
An overview of leak detection and measurement technology is presented in Appendix B along
with a description of High Flow Sampling. Below is a description of the approach used in the
Russian measurements.
Leak detection was performed using both soap solution and screening with a methane
detection instrument. Soap solution was sprayed on components such as valves, pipe thread
connectors, and tubing connectors. Any components at which bubbles formed were tagged.
Flanges and open ended lines were screened using Bascom-Turner CGI-201 Gas Sentries.
Any components screening above 500 part per million ("ppm") were tagged.
Orange metal tags were used to tag the leaks. The 3 by 5 inch tags were labeled by
permanent marker with a sequential leak number and a description of the leak location if
necessary. The size and color of the tag provide good visibility for relocating the leak for
subsequent high flow measurements. (Photo A.2 shows soap screening and tag at a small
ball valve.)
Once leaks were located and tagged, the High Flow Sampler was used to measure the leak
rate. Leak rates were measured by holding the nozzle of the High Flow Sampler within 1cm of
the leak while holding the background probe approximately 5 cm to 10 cm away, depending on
the type and size of component tested. This allowed the background concentration to be
accurately determined during the leak measurement. An industrial stretch plastic was used to
block wind and leak momentum and to direct leak flow into the high flow sampler. Leak rate
measurements at flanges were made by sealing the flange circumference with either duct tape
or stretch wrap. Openings were left at opposite sides of the flange for air entry and exit. In
addition, large leaks at open pipes and blowdown vents were measured using a rotometer-a
flowmeter used in this measurement program to measure particularly large leaks.
Leak rate data were recorded manually on data sheets printed for this purpose. These data
included leak tag number, a brief description of the leak (type of component and service), High
Flow Sampler anemometer velocity (which is calibrated to sample flow rate), background
concentration, and sample concentration.

Quality assurance was conducted by making replicate measurements, which included using
different sample flow rates. Varying the sample flow rate provides data on the success of leak
capture. If the leak rate measured by the sampler remains constant as the sample flow is
increased, then the leak capture at both sample flow rates was successful. At flanges,
replicate measurements were made by reversing the air entry and exit locations. Other quality
assurance measures included a laboratory calibration of the entire high flow sampler system
before and after the first set of field measurements by introducing known flow rates of
methane into the instrument and comparing the known leak rates to the results calculated from
the high flow sampler data.
The number and type of components which were surveyed for leaks were recorded at each
facility. The categories included flanges, pipe thread connections, tubing connections, gate
and needle valves, plug and ball valves (included as one category), control valves, open
ended lines, pressure relief valves, station blowdown vents, compressor blowdown vents, and
unit valve vents. These component counts were used to calculate emission factors for each
component category by dividing the total leak rate by the total number of components. The
results of the measurement program are presented in the following section.

3.0 MEASUREMENT RESULTS
This section summarizes the results of the leak survey and measurements at each of the
Gazprom compressor stations. For each station we present a table showing the leak results
by component type. Also presented is a graph that shows the distribution of emissions by the
number of leaks: this illustrates the concentration of emissions in a small number of large
leaks. For each compressor station, the tables identify the types of components surveyed and
number of leaks found, characteristics of the leaks (total, average size, largest, smallest), an
emission factor, and estimates of the costs of the leaks. Specifically --
The first three columns show the types of components surveyed, the number of
components of each type that were surveyed, and the number of leaks found and
measured.
The total emissions column is the sum of all the leak rates measured expressed in
cubic meters per year. The average leak size is the total divided by the number of
leaks found.
Then next two columns show the largest and the smallest leak for the specific
component type, expressed in cubic meters per year.
The component emission factor is equal to the total emission volume for that
component type divided by the total number of components surveyed.
The final two columns estimate leakage cost. The total leak cost for each
component type is calculated by multiplying the total emission volume by $56 U.S.
per thousand cubic meters (an estimate provided by Gazprom representing an
expected world price for natural gas). The average cost per leak is equal to the
total cost divided by the number of leaks found.
We have not summed the leaks for the individual compressor stations. Because only subsets
of components were measured, station totals would be irrelevant and possibly misleading. In
addition, because of the relatively small numbers of components measured, the calculated
emission factors per component type should be considered very preliminary.
3.1 Chaplygin Compressor Station
Exhibit 3.1.1 presents the results of the measurements at the Chaplygin compressor station.
Measurements at the Chaplygin station focused on leaks across the unit valves to the
blowdown vent (labeled unit valve vents in Exhibit 3.1 . I ) and leaks from the recycle vents, fuel
gas vents, starter gas vents, bypass vents, and cooler vents. The total leak rate from leaks
measured at this facility was 848,400 cubic meters per year. At a price of $56 (U.S.) per
1000 cubic meters of gas (the price quoted at the time of the measurements), this represents
an average loss of $47,500 per year. Leaks from components not measured at this station
(such as gate and ball valve stems) would increase the overall natural gas loss recorded.
The leaks across the unit valves to the blow down stacks represent the largest source at this
site (34.7 percent). Leaks at unit valves tend to occur when compressors are depressurized

across the unit valves travel through the open blowdown valve to the atmosphere in this
condition. When the compressor is operating, these unit valves are open and the blowdown
valve is closed. Consequently, when depressurized compressors with large leaks across the
unit valves are put into service, the unit valve leak disappears.
The blowdown valve is typically a much smaller valve (approximately 2 inches to 4 inches) than
the unit valves (12 inches to 36 inches) and in U.S. natural gas transmission systems has been
found to leak less than the unit valve by at least a factor of five (GRI, 1996). Significant leaks
can occur across blowdown valves when a compressor is in operation. No leaks were found at
the blowdown valves surveyed at Chaplygin.
The recycle vent on Unit 1 at Chaplygin was the single largest leak found in the survey (25
percent of the total). This is a leak across a 2 inch plug valve which was closed (but leaking)
during the measurement. Both the recycle and bypass vents may be affected by the status of
the compressor, depending on whether it is running or not, but not enough data are available
from Chaplygin to determine this effect. The other components surveyed at Chaplygin are not
subject to the changes discussed for the unit valves. The fuel gas vents, start gas vents, and
cooler vents should be relatively constant sources unless the systems on which they are
located are vented. Exhibit 3.1.2 illustrates the distribution of leaks measured at Chaplygin.
3.2 Pervornaiskaya Compressor Station
Exhibit 3.2.1 presents the results of the leak rates at the Pervomaiskaya compressor station.
At this station, leak measurements focused on valves, connectors, and open ended lines.
Again, these measurements are a subset of this station and do not represent the entire facility
leak rate. Additionally, time limitations prevented complete component counts at all of the
process areas where the leak measurements were made.
The largest emission factors at this station were for open ended lines, followed by control
valves, cooler blowdowns (which could be grouped with open ended lines), ball valves,
pressure relief valves, gate valves, tubing connectors, pipe thread connectors, needle valves,
and flanges. As at Chaplygin, the largest 10 percent of the mechanical leaks account for a
vast majority of the leak total (see Exhibit 3.2.2). Ball valve measurements were made at both
the stem of the valve and at the body, such as from a bolted flange fitting that is part of the
valve's original manufacturing process. The leakage from the ball valve body accounted for
only 12 percent of the total ball valve leak rate. This suggests that future screening might be
confined to the stem only without missing a significant portion of the leak rate. This would
speed the leak detection process for this category of component by at least a factor of two.

3.3 Petrovsk Compressor Station
The measurement program at the Petrovsk compressor station focused on quantifying leak
rates across the unit valves, blowdown stacks on depressurized compressors and blowdown
valves on pressurized compressors. A limited number of measurements were made at valves,
connectors, and open ended lines in the field area of the station. The results of these
measurements are presented in Exhibit 3.3.1.
The largest emission sources at this station were found at the unit valves on depressurized
compressors. The emission factor for the unit valves on depressurized compressors at
Petrovsk is approximately twenty times larger than for Chaplygin unit valves (this illustrates the
uncertainty of the small data set that has been collected). As at Chaplygin, no leak rate was
observed across the blowdown valve on pressurized compressors. The total leak rate from the
four unit valve leaks was 4.36 million cubic meter per year with a value of $244,000 per year.
The largest of these leaks was equal to $145,000 per year, which is 59.6% of the leak rate
from the four. These results assume a full year of leaking from the closed position. The leak
totals would be halved if the compressors ran 50 percent of the time. Nevertheless, these are
significant leaks.

3.4 Storojovka Compressor Station
Measurements at the Storojovka compressor station were limited due to construction at the
site. Because this construction required that the entire compressor area be depressurized, no
measurements were possible to determine leak rates across unit valves or at any other
components associated with the main compressor station. The measurement program
focused on leak rates at valves, connectors, open ended lines, and stationlpipeline blowdown
vents. Exhibit 3.4.1 summarizes the measurement data collected.
The largest leak rate observed at Storojovka was from a station blowdown vent which had a
leaking bypass valve. This vent was leaking at a rate of 278,900 cubic meters per year,
equivalent to $15,620, which accounts for about 60 percent of the total volume from all leaks
found (see Exhibit 3.4.2 for the distribution of leaks). Station blowdown vents had the largest
emission factor of all categories which were surveyed at this station; however, no information
is available for other typically large categories such as compressor unit valve leakage at this
site because the compressors were depressurized.
Ball and plug valves had the next largest emission factor for the components surveyed at
Storojovka. Leak rates were measured separately at ball valve bodies, ball valve stems, and
plug valves but have been grouped together for the calculation of emission factors. This is
also true for gate and needle valves, which were grouped as one category for counting
purposes at this site.

3.5 Comparison of Station Results
Because only a subset of components at each station were surveyed, the total measured leak
rate at each station cannot be directly compared. Examining the similarities and differences
between emission factors of components at the stations provides a more useful comparison.
Exhibit 3.5.1 provides a comparison of emission factors at similar components between
stations and also presents average emission factors for all four sites. Exhibit 3.5.2 illustrates
the results of the emission factor estimate.
The largest average emission factor was for leakage across the compressor unit valves vents.
This value was 465,274 m3/year per compressor unit valve set. It must be remembered that
this leakage only occurs when the compressor is depressurized and not running. The amount
of time this occurs is unknown. [Insert Gazprom estimate?] For purposes of this report, we
have assumed that such components are depressurized on average half the time. No leaks
were observed for the reverse condition when the compressor is pressurized and the
blowdown valve is closed. The emission factor for unit valves at Petrovsk was four times
higher than at Chaplygin. Chaplygin is a newer station than Petrovsk and at least three of the
unit valve sets measured at Chaplygin had been replaced within the last year, which may
account for the smaller emission factor for these components.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES
The objectives of this leak identification and measurement demonstration program were
(1)
to measure leaks from natural gas compressor station components as a
first step towards developing better overall estimates of methane emissions
from Russian natural gas pipeline compressors; and
(2)
to begin to identify profitable opportunities to reduce fugitive emissions at
Gazprom compressor stations.
The High Flow Sampler technology was successfully deployed in this measurement
program and Gazprom technicians were trained to use it. A High Flow Sampler device
has been loaned to Gazprom to continue their own measurements. The implications of
the measurements made in this program for overall Russian natural gas system
emissions estimates and potential strategies for reducing emissions are addressed
below.
4.1 Implications of Results for Overall Russian Gas System Emissions
Using the measurements taken at the four compressor stations, an estimate has been
developed of the overall leaks from Russian compressor facilities. This estimate is
based on a relatively small sample of leak screenings (1,800 components) and
measurements (348 components), and did not include measurements from a large
number of components that would normally be expected to have leak rates. (These
vary from station to station; at some no ball and gate valves were screened; at others
flanges were not examined; at all stations only some components were reviewed.)
Therefore, the estimate of overall leakage should be considered preliminary. Any
refined estimation would benefit from follow-up measurements across a broader range
of components and component types.
The approach used in this estimation and the results are shown in Exhibit 4.1. The
approach consisted of the following steps.
Average emission factors (or leak rates) were calculated for all of the
component categories measured across the four compressor stations.
These emission factors are expressed as cubic meters per year per
component surveyed.
The number of components in each category were estimated for the entire
Gazprom pipeline system. These estimates were based on a Gazprom
estimate that it has about 4,000 compressors in its system at about 250
compressor stations. Using the component counts at Pewomaiskaya, an
estimate of the number of each component associated with compressors
was developed. (For example, at Pewomaiskaya the number of blowdown
vents per compressor was 2.81 blowdown vents/compressor; there was one
unit valve vent per compressor.) Thus, with 4,000 compressors in the entire
Gazprom system, one may expect 4,000 unit valve vents-one per

compressor--and 11,250 station blowdown vents-2.81 per compressor--and
so on across all components.)
An activity factor (percent of time a component leaks) was assumed for each
component to account for the fact that some components only leak when a
compressor is running and others leak only when a compressor is not in
service. For all but two components the activity factor is 1.0; for unit valve
vents and compressor blowdown vents, the activity factors are assumed to
be 0.50, meaning that these leaks occur about half the time.
The product of these factors is an estimate of the total annual emissions for
all compressor stations for each component type. The sum of these will
yield an estimate of the total emissions from all compressors.
The results of this estimation are shown in Exhibit 4.1.1. The estimate for the total
compressor station losses is about 2 BCM per year. This number is an estimate of the
total methane emissions attributable to leaks from those components at compressor
stations that are directly related to the numbers of compressors. Since this estimate
does not include compressor exhaust and engine start and stop emissions, the 2 BCM
does not represent the total estimated leakage from all compressor station
components.
The final column of Exhibit 4.1 shows the percentage that each category of
components contributes to the total estimated leak rate from the Russian gas system
compressors. This percentage contribution provides a guide for where efforts should
be focused to reduce fugitive emissions and natural gas loss at compressor stations. It
also indicates the sensitivity of the total estimate to the accuracy of emission factors,
component counts, and activity factors of the individual categories. For example, if the
activity factor for unit valves were to increase by 20 percent to 0.6 instead of 0.5, the
total leak rate from the system would increase approximately 10 percent.
The data collected during this field measurement program and the emission factors
calculated from these data represent only a limited subset of components at each of
the four facilities tested. More extensive measurements and component counts are
required to refine the emission factors. The major sources at compressor stations that
have not been quantified include emissions from compressor seal vents, components
on the compressors themselves (such as compressor seal vents), and fuel components
on gas powered turbines. It is not known if these components are significant sources,
but compressor seal vents are the most likely source to be significant compared to the
major leaks currently observed at the compressor stations. In addition, a better
understanding of activity factors is necessary before an accurate assessment of
fugitive emissions from the Russian transmission system can be made using the
approach outlined above.

the benefits of repair (in terms of the value of the natural gas saved relative to the costs
of the repair or maintenance activity) are correspondingly the greatest. A directed
inspection and maintenance program depends on two elements:
Accurate leak measurements such as those performed with the GRlIlndaco
High Flow Sampler; and
An ongoing assessment of leak trends to aid in determining where and how
often measurement surveys need to be made (e.g., quarterly, semi-annually
or annually) and which components need to be monitored.
The measurements undertaken in this study suggest that focusing on the largest leaks
at a compressor station can significantly reduce leak rates. This refers both to all leaks
at a station and leaks within categories of components where a few leaks dominate a
component category. For example, of the four leaking unit valves measured at the
Petrovsk station, repairing the largest would reduce the gas loss from the unit valve
category by 60 percent. Similarly, repairing the largest of the 29 leaking pipe threads at
Pervomaiskaya would reduce the leak rate from those components by almost 40
percent.
As an overall strategy, the results of this study suggest that significant reductions can
be achieved by focusing repair efforts on the vent systems at these stations.
Compressor unit valve vents account for the largest leak category by a wide margin. If
these leaks could be repaired, 48 percent of the total estimated emissions potentially
could be eliminated.
Each category of leaks may have specific best management practices for leak
reduction once the leak rates are known. For example, it may be useful to inspect and
maintain vents more frequently than the other components due to the significance of
leaks from vents. Such a program could include applications of special sealants in vent
valves on a monthly basis. On the other hand, some component categories that are
shown to leak less may only require annual inspection and maintenance regimes.
Research supported by the EPA currently is aimed at establishing the optimum time
frames for such directed inspection and maintenance of various component categories
for transmission and distribution pipelines in the U.S. Whether the cycles identified as
optimal for U.S. facilities would be similarly optimal for the Russian system remains to
be seen. Facility managers and engineers will be best qualified to determine the
appropriate strategies once more information about the character and extent of leaking
components is known for Russian facilities.

APPENDIX 8. OVERVIEW OF LEAK DETECTION AND MEASUREMENT
TECHNIQUES
This section provides an ovewiew of techniques that are currently used to
detect and quantify leak rates at natural gas facilities. Of these techniques, the high
flow sampling method and the direct measurement approach using a rotameter (for
very large leaks) were applied at the Russian facilities.
A. Leak Detection Techniques
The most common methods of leak detection in natural gas systems are the
use of soap solution and screening using a methane detection instrument. Soap
solution leak detection is straightforward but requires the person performing leak
detection to pay constant attention to the components being screened. Generally leaks
respond in three ways to bubble solution. First, they may form bubbles that are
immediately obvious to the operator. Second, the bubble formation may be slower and
may not be obvious until 1- 2 minutes later. This requires the operator to look back
occasionally over the area which has been previously sprayed. Third, the leak may be
so large that it blows the leak solution away quickly and no further bubbles are formed.
This requires the operator to watch the component to which the soap solution is applied
during the application.
Soap solution screening may not be suitable for all components. Flanges with
deep crevices and hot or moving parts fall in this category. (Soap solution is also not
useful for liquid component streams but this is not an issue at natural gas transmission
compressor stations.) A methane detection instrument should be used for these
components. Although Foxboro units such as the OVA-108 and the TVA-1000 have
been used for many past studies of using screening and correlation equations, lighter
weight and wider range instruments are available from other sources. For this study
the Bascom - Turner CGA 201 was used to screen any components that could not be
screened using soap solution. This screening was performed for leak detection only
6. Screening Techniques, Correlation Equations, and Bagging Measurements
Screening techniques, correlation equations, and bagging measurements
(technically called enclosure measurements) have been grouped together for
discussion because of their close relationship to each other. Screening techniques
originally started as a leak detection method'only and guidelines have-been o&ed by
U.S. EPA Method 21. Correlations were then developed to relate the concentration
measured using a leak detection instrument to the leak rate. These correlations
compare leak rates measured using enclosure methods to the maximum concentrations
measured either 1cm or 1 mm from the components using a leak detector such as
organic vapor analyzer (OVA) (CMA, 1989; Webb and Martino, 1992). Although these
correlations make it easy to estimate leak rates, the inaccuracies are often as high as
three orders of magnitude.

The most serious drawback of using screening concentrations and correlation
equations is their inability to accurately characterize leaks that are beyond the scale of
typical leak detectors ("pegged sources"). The most common leak detector used when
correlations are applied is the Foxboro OVA-108 (and a recent version, the TVA-1000)
which uses a flame ionization detector. The sampling flow rate of the OVA-108 is
approximately 1000 mllmin, so if as little as 10 mllmin of methane is captured, the
resulting concentration will be 10,000 ppm (1%) which is the upper limit of the
instrument. Wind speed, distance of the probe from the leak, and characteristics of the
leak such as exit velocity affect how much of the leak actually is captured by the
sample probe. These uncertainties explain the large errors observed in applying
correlation equations. In practice, leak rates greater than 100 mllmin (often much less)
will register offscale. Leak rates greater than 1 literlmin (again, onen much less) will
result in a concentration greater than lo%, which will blow out the flame of the flame
ionization detector in the OVA.
It is the pegged sources from the largest leaks that contribute most to the facility
emissions and losses. In general, 3% - 6% of the components in a US. natural gas
facility will leak and approximately 0.5 % will exceed the range of the leak detection
instrument. One approach would be to repair all of the pegged source leaks, or repair
a percentage of these leaks that is equal to the percent reduction of emissions that has
been set as a goal. Unfortunately, this can be a costly and ineffective strategy, since
these leaks can vary tremendously and much effort can be spent in repairing leaks that
do not significantly reduce gas loss.
Bagging measurements are accurate but are too expensive and time consuming
to measure every leak at a facility. In this method, the leaking component is wrapped
with a nonpermeable material (such as tedlar or mylar) and a purge gas (air or nitrogen)
sweeps through the enclosure at a measured flow rate. For the case of methane (CH4)
the leak rate from the component can be calculated from the purge flow rate through
the enclosure and the concentration of methane in the outlet stream as follows:
where:
aCH4= leak rate of methane from the enclosed component (Ilmin),
F~~~~ = the purge flow rate of the clean air or nitrogen (Ilmin), and
ccH4= the measured concentration of methane in the exit flow (percent).
C. High Flow Sampling
To overcome the shortcomings of current leak measurement methods discussed
previously, a high flow rate sampling system was developed for the Gas Research
Institute that is able to make measurements with the same accuracv as enclosure
measurements but at a speed approaching that of leak detection screening
measurements (Howard et al., 1994, Lott et al., 1995). The new sampler uses a high

flow rate of air to completely capture the gas leaking from the component. A methane
detector is used to measure the exit concentration in the air stream of the high flow
system. The high flow sampler essentially performs an enclosure measurement using
the flow regime induced by the sampler instead of a physical enclosure. Emissions are
calculated similarly to an enclosure measurement as follows:
where:
QCH4= leak rate of methane from the leaking component (Ilmin),
Fsampler = the sample flow rate of the high flow rate sampler (Nmin),
CsmW = the concentration of methane in the sample flow (percent), and
CBackground= the concentration of methane in the background near the component
(percent).
The background concentration must be subtracted from the main sample flow
because it may be elevated due to other leaks in the vicinity of the leak being
measured. Variables such as wind speed and wind direction may cause the
background concentration to fluctuate, so a three way valve is used to switch between
background and sample to determine an accurate background concentration, or two
detectors may be used simultaneously.
Two opposing factors influence the choice of sample flow rate for the system.
Higher flow rates provide a better chance of complete leak capture especially if ambient
winds are a factor or if the leak has significant momentum. However, higher flow rates
also result in limits on the size of leak that can be auantified and increase the chance of
interference from nearby leaks. For instance, at a ;ample flow rate of 100Ilmin, a
methane leak of 50mllmin will result in a concentration increase of 500ppm. A sample
flow rate of 500Ilmin at the same leak would result in a concentration increase of only
100ppm. When working in an area where a high background concentration is present,
a larger net concentration increase is easier to quantify.
The High Flow Sampler has been validated using both laboratory and field
measurements. A simulated leak was used to investigate the high flow sampler's ability
to capture leaks. The laboratory tests were conducted by releasing methane from a
compressed gas cylinder through a two stage regulator and needle valve. The
methane flow rate was measured using a one liter soap bubblemeter (Alltech, lnc.)
Methane flow rates were measured before and after each sampling period and had a
nominal range of 0.5Ilmin to 11 Ilmin. All volumetric flow rates have been converted to
conditions at 7O0F,1atm. The agreement of the bubblemeter measurements and high
flow sampler measurements was within 5% for most measurements with a maximum
deviation Of 12%.
As indicated previously, the High Flow Sampler allows an accurate emission
rate to be made in less than one tenth the time required to perform an enclosure
measurement. Consequently, the High Flow Sampler makes it possible to accurately

quantify emission rates from leaking components instead of estimating the emission
rates from screening correlations. The implications are two fold. First, emissions can
now be quantified far more accurately than was ever possible before. Previously it has
been uneconomical to perform enclosure measurements at all leaking components or
even at all the components which resulted in "pegged source" (off scale) screening
values.
Secondly, with the leak rate database that can be generated for a specific
facility, the largest leaks can be targeted for priority repair. Generally, the majority of
emissions result from a relative small fraction of the leaking components. Repair of the
large leaks allows large (and quantifiable) reductions in emissions in an economic
manner.
D. Direct Measurements Using a Rotameter
Rotameters are used to supplement high flow measurements when the leaks
identified are extremely large. For the Russia measurements, rotameters were used for
10 of the 348 total measurements.
The largest emissions observed at compressor stations in the U.S. and in
Russia are generally from open ended lines (4" to 12" in diameter) which are used as
vents for blowdown valves. The largest leaks actually occur when compressors are
blown down and the blowdown valve is open, allowing leaks across the suction and
discharge valves to vent through the blowdown line. Metal plates with short pipe thread
fittings and full open quick connects were connected to rotameters to make direct
measurements at leaks of these vents. This provides the ability to change back and
forth easily between several rotameters which cover the range of 0.1 scfm to 330 scfm
of natural gas. The plates have closed cell foam pads to provide a tight seal to the rim
of the open ended lines, which often have rough edges. By having the rotameter
connect directly to the plate, the pressure drop of the system is minimized.
