Compressors

Digital tools, AI, and predictive maintenance are reshaping turbomachinery and driving gains in reliability, efficiency, and long-term asset performance in 2025.

The company will integrate EthosEnergy’s TurboCare team, technical data, and intellectual property to support a broad range of OEM technologies.

In addition to delivering centrifugal compressors and LM9000 aeroderivative gas turbines, the full scope includes commissioning services, spares and warranties, and full string tests.

Increasing pipeline capacity will satisfy demand growth in the Desert Southwest region, which includes initiatives to retire and/or convert coal-fired plants to natural gas usage.

The major milestones for Belgium’s electricity supply include a combined-cycle gas turbine plant, a battery energy storage system, and the Coo pumped-storage plant.

KOHO and Svanehøj previously collaborated on numerous high-profile shipbuilding projects, such as the Northern Lights LCO2 carriers and Höegh Autoliners’ Aurora-class design.

Previously, the undisclosed operator shifted its strategy from equipment availability to long-term reliability and enlisted John Crane to solve sealing inconsistency issues at a flagship refinery.

Klaus Brun and Rainer Kurz address the benefits and challenges of compressing, transporting, and utilizing CO2, highlighting its dedicated turbomachinery and role in a decarbonized society.

Following capture with the Advanced KM CDR Process, the CO2 will be transported via pipeline for permanent sequestration in depleted gas fields beneath Liverpool Bay.

Many turbomachinery diagrams are outdated and recommend axial machines over centrifugals, but modern technological advancements must be considered for industrial applications.

Although Malaysia’s decarbonization efforts focus on hydropower and solar, Everllence’s gas engines can balance fluctuating renewable input with short response times and high efficiency.

With U.S. power demand increasing due to data centers and ruled-out renewables, fogging and wet compression technology can help generate power quickly and inexpensively.

Among other causal factors, stress concentrations accumulate in areas with sharp edges, so filleting and chamfering is required to enable the smooth flow of stress streamlines.

By 2030, the Kawasaki LH2 Terminal will enter operation alongside a newly constructed liquefied hydrogen carrier, advancing Japan’s effort to establish a hydrogen supply chain.

The 2025 Turbomachinery & Pump Symposia covered hydrogen compressor testing, new gas seal technology, various pumps for ammonia and supercritical operations, and more.

The Myth Busters Klaus Brun and Rainer Kurz cover the latest technological updates and trends in centrifugal compressors, including AI integration and the penetration of renewables.

The November/December 2025 issue covers steam turbine blade dynamics and aerodynamics, gas turbine bucket repair, a TPS 2025 recap, a Q&A with Ebara Elliott Energy, and much more.

The Turbomachinery News Network, for the week of November 17, 2025, covers news from Air Liquide, ITT Inc., Vertiv and Caterpillar, GE Vernova, and MHI Thermal Systems.

Dynamis Power Solutions will package multiple LM9000 gas turbines as a mobile solution, providing increased versatility for large-scale power consumers in the oil and gas space.

Per Thomas Mee, installing fogging and wet compression technology may extract 10 – 20% more power output from the existing gas turbine fleet, countering longer lead times.

The magnetic bearing technology reinforces an oil-free design, eliminating the need for a lubrication oil system and preventing wear on sliding parts.

Although the upstream and midstream compressor markets are currently outperforming downstream, historic economic cycles suggest that a recession may arrive by 2031.

The Turbomachinery News Network, for the week of November 10, 2025, covers news from Arabelle Solutions, Baker Hughes, ExxonMobil, and John Crane.

Since Glenfarne became lead developer in March, Alaska LNG has secured commitments for 11 MTPA of LNG from buyers in Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and Thailand.

Per Dora Partners’ Christean Kapp, the Chinese compressor market is acquiring foreign technologies, making improvements, and beginning exports to the Middle East and Asia.
