CONT

An essential element in the transmission of natural gas over long distances. To ensure maximum, even flow in the transmission system, the gas must be recompressed at compressor stations located every 60 to 80 kilometers along the route, since gas, unlike oil, loses pressure rapidly with distance.

OBS

compressor station: term standardized by Environment Canada and the Translation Bureau for use in the Black Carbon Inventory.
