OREANDA-NEWS. Bashkiria has hosted the inauguration of the upgraded Moskovo compressor station - 18A.

Bashtransgaz (100 per cent Gazprom subsidiary) uses seven CS including 16 shops and 121 gas pumping units. Durtulin Linear Production Gas Main Management (one of the largest subsidiaries of Bashtransgaz) exploits Moskovo CS-18A, more than 750 km of gas mains including gas pipelines such as the Chelyabinsk-Petrovsk pipeline, the Urengoy-Petrovsk pipeline and the Urengoy-Novopskov pipeline.

Within the reconstruction of Moskovo CS-18A 8 morally and physically outdated GTK10-4 GPU were changed to upgraded high technical GPU. Now four Ufa GPU-16R produced by the Ufa Engine-Building Production Association (UEPA) and one Ural GPU-16R-AL jointly produced by UEPA and Perm Engine Company.

New GPU have high capacity, high efficiency level, increased exploitation resources as well as lower gas fuel flow rates.
