Iroquois Gas Transmission System expects this month to start up its first compressor station.

The compressors were installed late last summer at the Wright, N.Y., site.

The station consists of two 5,650-hp Solar Centaur Type H turbocompressor units to be used to ship 51 MMcfd to Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. and 14.2 MMcfd to Dartmouth Power, a 67.9-mw cogeneration plant in Massachusetts.

Start-up brine, to 641.1 MMcfd the amount of natural gas under long-term firm contract to be shipped on the system.

EMISSION CONTROLS

The new units will be equipped with SoLoNOx, an advanced, clean-burning combustion system for emission control.

A second compressor station is planned for Croghan, N.Y., to deliver 55 MMcfd to Silkirk Cogen Partners. Target service date is November 1994. It will house one 6,500 hp Solar Taurus turbocompressor also equipped with SoLoNOx.

Iroquois is a 375-mile, 30 and 24-in. natural-gas pipeline moving Canadian gas from the international border near Washington, N.Y., to South Commack, N.Y., on Long Island.
