Abstract: The Bruceton Mills Compressor Station costs more than 1.2 million. The first three of its five 1,080 horsepower Saturn gas turbine engines went into operation in December, 1966. A fourth unit was installed in October, 1969 the fifth in December, 1970, for a total of 5,400 station horsepower. At full operation, the station can pump 260 million cubic feet of gas a day. Maximum station working pressure is 960 pounds per square inch (psig) As modern as tomorrow, Bruceton Mills can be remotely controlled from the space age, Pittsburg Group gas control center at Bethel Park, (Allegheny County) Pa. about ten miles southeast of Pittsburgh, and fifty miles from the station. Autumatically, data is transmitted by leased telephone line and fed into a computer at Bethel Park. The operating pressures and flow rate are shown on a control console when the station is monitored at intervals daily. Such information is also printed out on data loggers, along with data from other points, every hour of the day.
