Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a method for providing pressurized gas from a source of liquefied gas to a consumer, wherein vaporized gas is supplied via a first line from the source of liquefied gas to a compressor arrangement for pressurizing the vaporized gas, the compressor arrangement comprising a first screw compressor module and a second screw compressor module which are designed according to the redundancy concept each comprising an own screw compressor, an own motor for driving the screw compressor and further own equipment being necessary for driving the motor and the screw compressor, wherein the first screw compressor module, being arranged at the first line and being fed with vaporized gas via the first line, is arranged in parallel to the second screw compressor module, the second screw compressor module being arranged at a bypass-line, the bypass-line branching off the first line upstream of the second screw compressor module, wherein the compressor arrangement is operated such that in a first mode of operation the vaporized gas is fed through the first line to the first screw compressor module and through the bypass-line to the second screw compressor module and the first screw compressor module and the second compressor module are in operation, and in a second mode of operation, the bypass-line is closed with a valve at a position upstream of the second screw compressor module and the second screw compressor module is not in operation.
