To increase the share of natural gas in primary energy basket from 6.49% to 15%, the Government of India has set an ambitious target of developing National gas grid under a flagship scheme of “one nation one grid”. As per PPAC report as on 31 March 2021, in India total 19,998 km of natural gas pipelines are operational and 15,369 km are under various stages of construction. The Natural gas infrastructure business is going to have a big potential in upcoming days in India. However, at the same time maintaining natural gas pipeline integrity is also very much important & essential for the pipeline owners. All anomalies discovered during integrity assessment/ inspection such as intelligent pigging, bell-hole inspection, DCVG, CIPS etc. or reported otherwise shall be evaluated and classified under the following three categories based on severity of defect (a) Immediate repair condition (b) Scheduled Repair (c) Monitored conditions. To carry out any type of these said repair mitigation the pipeline owner must evacuate the gas in the pipeline at about 88-90 kg/cm2 pressure. There are three basic methods to evacuate natural gas between two SV stations i.e. Hot tapping (too expensive and requires more time), flaring (time consuming and not possible at every time) & release to atmosphere

The pipeline gas evacuation technology is very much necessary and essential in the coming years in India as gas pipeline infrastructure development is going in a fast and double folded way to achieve 15% natural gas mix in primary energy consumption. Adopting Mobile Pipeline Evacuation Compressor Units for Cross compression, has many advantages like import dependency reduces, big reduction in pollutant gas, bid reduction in jobsite space requirements, big reduction in noise pollution while doing atmosphere venting.
