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.

4. CALCULATION METHODS
This calculation is performed using HYSYS simulation and MS Excel by input data. Methodology
being used for calculation below :
4.1. Upstream Restriction Orifice Calculation
a. Depressurization simulation using HYSYS
Depressurization simulation performed using HYSYS 7.3 with Peng-Robbinson as fluid
package. The stage are belowed:
1. Gas composition and parameters condition input to stream data.
2. Assumed the vessel orientation is horizontal. Pipe lenght and diameter input to vessel
parameters as a diameter and height. The figure showed 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.
