Two important and current topics of interest for gas machinery operators are emissions and energy efficiency. Current climate change legislation is leaning towards reduced emissions and improvements in energy utilization efficiency, which has renewed the interest in Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) at pipeline stations. In the past, the focus of WHR has been on large-scale applications, with little attention paid to small-scale WHR systems. Gas Machinery Research Council (GMRC) and Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI), began an initiative in 2010 to look into small-scale WHR applications at pipeline stations. The preliminary work in this initiative included development of innovative WHR concepts, evaluation of these concepts based on several metrics (cost, technology readiness, reliability of systems, environmental considerations, etc.), and further analysis on the most promising concepts. This paper provides a summary of the work completed thus far and focuses on the use, application, and benefits of the selected most promising WHR concepts. The paper also includes a discussion of the ongoing and future work planned in the waste heat recovery technology area.
