Overview
ANR Pipeline Greensburg CS is a gas pipeline facility in Greensburg, Kansas, United States. It operates under PHMSA and DOT regulations for natural gas transmission.
ANR Pipeline Greensburg CS is a natural gas pipeline compressor station located in Greensburg, Kansas, United States. The facility is part of the ANR Pipeline system, which transports natural gas across the Midwest and Gulf Coast regions. As a compressor station, it maintains pressure and flow within the pipeline network, serving the broader natural gas transmission infrastructure. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) 49 CFR Part 192, which governs natural gas pipeline safety. This includes requirements for pipeline integrity management, cathodic protection, and leak detection. The ANR Pipeline system is a major interstate pipeline, and the Greensburg station plays a role in ensuring reliable gas delivery to downstream markets. Environmentally, the facility is situated in a rural area of Kansas, reducing immediate population density risks. However, natural gas pipelines carry inherent risks related to methane emissions and potential leaks. The station's operational status indicates active monitoring and maintenance to comply with federal safety standards, contributing to the region's energy infrastructure resilience.
Environmental context
The Greensburg compressor station is located in a rural area of Kansas, with low population density. Natural gas pipelines can pose risks of methane leakage, a potent greenhouse gas. The facility's proximity to agricultural land and waterways requires adherence to PHMSA regulations for spill prevention and cathodic protection to minimize environmental impact.
