A daughter booster station is a secondary facility often used in areas where direct pipeline access is limited. It receives gas or other fluids from a mother station and then boosts pressure to distribute it effectively over a specific region. This is particularly useful in ensuring consistent supply in remote locations.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What is the purpose of a daughter booster station? A daughter booster station boosts the pressure of gas or fluids received from a mother station to ensure effective distribution.
  2. How do daughter booster stations support remote areas? They ensure a consistent supply of gas in areas where direct pipeline access from mother stations is limited.
  3. What is a mother station in the context of gas distribution? A mother station is the primary facility that supplies gas or fluids to daughter booster stations, facilitating better distribution.
  4. Why is pressure boosting important in gas distribution? Pressure boosting is essential for overcoming distance and elevation changes in pipelines, ensuring reliable delivery of gas.
