Before replacing the system,find out how much capacityis still hidden inside it.
modgas™ is ETA's structured debottlenecking and major-modification decision tool for determining how existing gas compression and production facilities can be modified, reconfigured or operated differently to unlock additional capacity.
New equipment
should not be the
default answer to
every production
constraint.
Mature facilities often contain recoverable capacity that is hidden by network
pressure losses, compressor mismatch, changed operating conditions or
outdated operating philosophy.
modgas™ systematically identifies what is actually limiting deliverability before
the redesign is defined.
The tool is designed to prevent:
- ✓ Replacing equipment before identifying the real bottleneck
- ✓ Moving a bottleneck from one part of the system to another
- ✓ Ignoring hydraulic constraints
- ✓ Discarding reusable compressor capacity
- ✓ Missing rewheel or reconfiguration opportunities
-
✓

modgas™
Identification
Define current and future
operating and production
requirements.
Benchmarking
Establish current facility and
compression performance.
Identification
Locate restrictions limiting
production and deliverability.
Develop and compare technical
modifications.
Produce an implementable
basis for major modification
work.
The answer may be smaller than a
new compression train
Reduce avoidable hydraulic losses or remove
flow restrictions.
Better match the machine to changed operating
conditions.
Change series/parallel operation, load sharing or
staging.
Unlock capacity through changed operating limits
or procedures.
Repurpose assets rather than defaulting to new
CAPEX.
Introduce new compression only where the
system analysis justifies it.
An implementable production-
capacity roadmap
Current deliverability and compression performance.
Constraints ranked by impact.
Technically feasible modification alternatives.
Capacity unlocked by each intervention.
Technical value against required investment.
Definition sufficient to progress implementation.

may already own?
modgas™ is designed to establish the real constraint before major replacement CAPEX is
committed.
