The compilation report, prepared under CPS-14-09 included in the bundle, summarizes the research funded and supervised by the Compressor and Pump Station Technical Committee as part of the PCC Roadmap and GHG SRP. The CPS-17-08 Reciprocating Engine Exhaust Methane Slip Reduction project encompassed 11 separate contracts, each contributing to the overarching goal of reducing methane emissions from reciprocating engines at natural gas compressor stations. The final reports from these contracts are summarized in the compendium and are included in full within the bundle. The compilation report synthesizes the findings from these individual studies, drawing connections and providing overarching conclusions. Key topics addressed include: - Ignition Sequence Dynamics: The influence of intermediate, highly reactive species, turbulence, and temperature on the ignition sequence in both prechamber and main chamber environments. - Fuel Variability: The effects of non-natural-gas fuels, particularly hydrogen, on the operation of natural gas compressor station reciprocating engines. - Design Innovations: Opportunities for new prechamber and main chamber designs to improve greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas compressor station reciprocating engines. - High-Pressure Fuel Injection: The impact of high-pressure fuel injection on combustion processes within prechamber and main chamber setups. The report provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements and insights gained through these research efforts, highlighting potential pathways for further reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the natural gas compression industry.
