Many factors once considered negligible in ordinary piping may become significant for piping connected to turbomachinery.

A next-generation biorefinery in Germany will be the first to convert 100% wood into bio-based mono-ethylene glycol, mono-propylene glycol, and renewable functional fillers

5000 hours of corrosion protection in salt spray testing for metals

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

Expander-compressor units provide refrigeration for extracting heavier hydrocarbon components while having low energy costs.

Elliott Group manufactures centrifugal and axial compressors, steam turbines, power recovery expanders, cryogenic pumps, and cryogenic expanders.

Tilting pad journal bearings are used in turbocompressors, turbo gears, gas turbines, and steam turbines.

LNG facilities on the Gulf of Mexico are to be equipped with carbon capture to provide cleaner LNG.

Joël Heux, Managing Director at Sundyne, discusses market trends, hydrogen compression, carbon capture, and markets for pumps and compressors.

For many component and auxiliary system vendors, 2020 was a rough year. Operators deferred maintenance and upgrades. 2021 has a rosier outlook.

Our Editor-in-Chief, Drew Robb, dedicates the May/June issue to the many component and auxiliary system vendors that form the turbomachinery supply chain.

The power generation industry is in transition with increasing momentum to reduce carbon emissions. Each year more renewable-based power is generated, changing the traditional electrical grid model. However, the grid still requires firming with dispatchable assets. In the future, these assets may need to have reduced or zero carbon emissions.

The filtration of gas turbine inlet air has always been important. But its profile has been raised as more becomes known about filtration efficiency, the need to filter out small particulate and the role of filtration in overall turbine performance.
