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.

For mechanical testing, the compressor met API’s allowable vibration limit and performance guarantees, validating the design for high-speed applications.

Although hydrogen projects have slowed down since the Trump Administration took office, Siemens Energy will continue technology demonstrations to ensure future-fuel readiness.

Dr. Eric Petersen, Director of the Texas A&M Turbomachinery Lab, discusses a focus on centrifugal compressors, vibration and reliability, and new short courses at TPS 2025.

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.
