Overview
This workbook consist of two calculations:
1) Power calculation
Simple compressor power sizing calculation based on rate and suction & discharge pressure.
Includes number of stages required, turbine sizing (de-rating), fuel gas and CO 2 emissions estimate.
2) Power forcast
Production forecast validation (ie. compression forecast generated from a simulation).
Checks the power required for the forecast rate, suction & discharge pressure and calculates the suction pressu
achievable for the specified power & number of compression stages.

Note that energy is also expended, and CO 2 emitted, during the production &
transport of a fuel. If you are using this calculation as an indicator of
environmental impact, or to examine ways of reducing carbon footprint, you
may also want to consider the source of proposed fuels in the CO 2 balance.
