The Lilly Compressor Units Replacement Project would comprise replacing the four existing gas turbine units totaling 34,800 horsepower (hp) with two new, more efficient, 18,100 hp gas turbine units. Software controls would be installed on the two new units to limit the total station hp to 34,800 hp, keeping the delivery capacity at the station the same.
