Site performance tests for centrifugal compressors verify real-world performance under actual operating conditions, gas compositions, and piping, often offering a more cost-effective and representative assessment than factory tests.

Reciprocating compressors present challenges—such as pulsation control, leakage, and mechanical reliability—in CO2 capture and storage applications.

Debunking the myth on methane leakage in the oil and gas industry. Gas gathering reciprocating compressors are a major source of methane.

The Myth Busters discuss the many colors of hydrogen and their place in the energy economy.

The phrase "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" has served us well in the turbomachinery industry.

During the pandemic we've been seeing the perpetuation of myths surrounding personal air filtration (AKA facemasks). As much as we'd enjoy poking fun at urban legends, we'll stay focused on air filtration for gas turbines.

AM is the best thing since sliced bread, they said. But has the potential of AM for compressor manufacturing been more promise than reality?

Many of us have to verify compressor and driver performance in the field. We do a test, read the data, and convert it to flow, head, and some other parameters. Voila, we have done a valid test and we believe our data. Not so fast!
