Performance of a gas turbine is mainly depends on the inlet air temperature. The power output of a gas turbine depends on the flow of mass through it. This is precisely the reason why on hot days, when air is less dense, power output falls off. A rise of 1°C temperature of inlet air decreases the power output by 1%.The purpose of this paper is to review the state of the art in applications for reducing the gas turbine intake air temperature and examine the merits from integration of the different air-cooling methods in 25 MW gas turbine based pipeline gas station. Four different intake air-cooling methods have been applied in pipeline gas stations. The calculations were performed on a yearly basis of operation, taking into account.The case study is related to Unit 106 of a Gas Refinery in Asaluyeh. The simulation has been performed in Thermoflex Software. Finally, the thermodynamic parameters for integration of the different cooling systems were calculated and compared
