Compressors

The natural gas-fed pipeline system will be expanded in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, with potential bidders supporting markets in the Desert Southwest.

Dr. Marco Ernst of Everllence says that deploying multiple centrifugal compressor trains allows the company to cover compression from capture to offshore transmission.

The dual-fuel engines will each supply 18.5 MW of power to build Mauritania’s electricity supply, while the 90-bore ME-LGIM engine successfully burned ethanol at all load points.

With some mechanical and hydraulic modifications, conventional centrifugal pumps can handle supercritical fluids better than most centrifugal compressor designs.

The European Union’s Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking aims to transform aviation toward decarbonization, sustainability, and new propulsion concepts.

Facing rising demand, decarbonization targets, and supply chain volatility, John Crane’s Nico Schmaeling urged turbomachinery professionals at the 2025 Turbomachinery & Pump Symposium to address the energy trilemma—security, affordability, and sustainability—through smarter design, efficiency upgrades, and cross-industry collaboration.

Once operational, the project will capture up to 800,000 tons of CO2 per year for permanent sequestration beneath the North Sea via the Northern Lights facility.

The company’s gas turbine and refrigerant compressor technology supports an additional 6 MTPA of LNG capacity and lower emissions at the Texas-based facility.

The international consortium partners are progressing on the engine demonstrator, technologies for additive manufacturing, cooling systems, and high-pressure compressor design.

The life-extension project will add up to 30 MW of additional power, with 1.8% efficiency gains, a 5% reduction in CO2 emissions, and improved grid stability.

In addition to five centrifugal compressor trains, the supply includes dynamic process simulations and a digital twin with virtual sensors for the integrally geared compressors.

The five-year contract addition allows EthosEnergy to continue life-extension strategies, maximizing asset uptime and minimizing cost for Spirit Energy’s gas assets.

The engineering and equipment scope includes five 60-MWe units, turboexpanders, and one BRUSH generator for the Cape Station project in Utah.

Previously, the company supplied critical power and compression systems for bp’s Tangguh LNG plant in Papua Barat, Indonesia.

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.

M&A involves more than just finances, as major technology developers combine portfolios to consolidate related products and simplify supply chains.

HAZOP reviews are a key process for identifying potential hazards and ensuring appropriate safety measures.

In conjunction with dual-inlet, high-flow technology, the P650 DF allows for easy maintenance through its split gear case, split bearing, seal, and detachable airend designs.
