TABLE OF CONTENT
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. General
Perusahaan Gas Negara (persero) Tbk. (PGN) is the largest natural gas transmission and
distribution company intens to distribute gas from Otsuka to Purwosari with distance about 15
km. Sectional Valve will be installed at KP 8. The Sectional Valve is composed of a manually
operated 10” Block Valve for Otsuka – Purwosari Pipeline and a vent nozzle with connections
for temporary blowdown facility. The blowdown facilities optimized for 3 – 5 hours of blowdown
duration. For normal condition, 5 MMSCFD of gas will deliver to consummer and it will be
increase to 17 MMSCFD as future. 48 km gas pipeline distribution to Malang shall install as a
future plan
1.2. Objection
This document is provided for size calculation from upstream and downstream of restriction
orifice on the OTSUKA – PURWOSARI GAS DISTRIBUTION PIPELINE, East Java. Optimum
Restriction orifice will be determined too for 8 km lenght of pipe.

Blowdown designed for one section ( Section 1 or section 2 ) with assumed lenght 8 km /
section. The calculation performed to 3, 4 and 5 hours duration at maximum operating
pressure (25 barg) for future connection (17 MMSCFD). Final pressure target is 100 psig.

4. CALCULATION METHODS
This calculation is performed using HYSYS simulation and MS Excel by input data. Methodology
being used for calculation below :
3. Input the ambient data into heat flux and chose adiabatic for operating mode.
4. For valve parameters chose a supersonic in vapour flow equation and assumed discharge
co-efficient is 0.975.
5. Set depressuring time and final pressure at Operating Condition.
6. run the simulation.
c. Determine the value of (ε/D) and Re from the picture below to get (fm)
Where:
vg : Gas Velocity (fps)
Z : Gas Compresibility
Q : Molar flowrate (MMSCFD)

6. CONCLUSION
a. Based on calculation, the selected downstream diameters that’s suitable of criteria is 4 inch
with 0.176 psi/100ft as maximum pressure drop , 0.316 as mach number and maximum gas
velocity calculated is 17.954 fps.
b. For upstream, diameter selected is 4 inch with maximum noise is 68.128 dB.
c. For diameter 4 inch, RO diameter caclulated is 27.17 mm at 3 hours with beta ratio value is
0.267.
