A new pipeline system is designed to carry non-sour natural gas from a compressor station 1 to three distribution tie-ins in a power plant fuel station. The pipeline route is given in the following figure. Calculate the maximum design pressure that the compressor can allowed to produce based on the following information: [20 %]
