A Pressure Reducing and Distribution Station (PRDS) is a critical facility in various industrial and utility systems, especially in gas distribution networks. Its main purpose is to safely reduce the pressure of gas from a higher level to a lower, usable level and then distribute it to the required outlets or end-users.

Key Functions Of A PRDS

1. Pressure Reduction:

• o Reduces high-pressure steam, gas to a lower, controlled pressure suitable for downstream processes.

2. Flow Control:

• o Regulates the flow rate according to demand and system requirements.

3. Distribution:

• o Channels the reduced-pressure fluid to various branches or endpoints in the system.

4. Safety:

• o Includes safety devices (e.g., relief valves) to prevent overpressure conditions.
