Abstract: Panhandle, hke many other gas transmission companies, has been engaged in the past in several approaches to evaluate fuel consumption and to address itossible ways to conserve this premimum fuel at its compressor stations. In the past, it has been difficult to birddog and respond quickly to fuel and horsepower loading inefticiencies since continuous monitoring of this fuel usage and its possible optimization was extremely time consuming and labor intensive. However, we have over the past years, spot checked these fuel conditions, hand calculated what we fell was an attainable optimum fuel rate with an alternate configuration of horsepower and/or through trade outs between speed and torque adjustments, and proved to ourselves that fuel economics were possible and practical if we only had a technique for continually monitoring and calculating alternate loading conditions and unit allocations that would keep pace with a fairly dynamic and ever-changing line of service horsepower requirement.
