 ABSTRACT

There are 2 underground gas storage facilities in our republic, which are currently operated as Karadag and Galmaz. Since gas storage facilities are potentially dangerous objects, there are cases of equipment damage at these facilities, as well as environmental pollution due to the non-use of modern technological processes, conducting research in this area is relevant. So, in this area, both the study of gas product quality indicators and its study from the point of view of improving quality indicators are considered important issues.

Considering that the existing gas processing plant in our country has been in operation for a long time and does not have a capacity corresponding to the demand for gas, the most urgent problem today continues to be the improvement of gas quality indicators at gas storage facilities before its transportation, that is, purification from harmful components contained in gas.

In the research work, an insoluble gas tank was adopted as an object.

Keywords: underground gas storage, environmental protection, technological equipment, compressor station, collector unit.
