Compressors

Siemens Energy is developing three technologies—an advanced rotor hydrogen compressor, a Turbo Heater, and a rotating olefins cracker—to drive the energy transition and reduce carbon emissions.

Turbocompressors with side streams are operated with tight tolerances on operational parameters compared to conventional compressors.

The core equipment was manufactured and tested at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor Corp.’s facility in Hiroshima, Japan, and was delivered in April 2024.

Modernization options for ammonia syngas trains can meet a wide range of plant requirements for uptime, efficiency, costs, and footprint.

Machine learning techniques offer real-time anomaly detection that proactively identifies potential failures in turbomachinery.

The KM CDR capture process treats low-CO2 flue gas from a natural gas turbine driving a turbocompressor to lower emissions by 90% with peaks of 96%.

Baker Hughes’ NMBL LNG delivers flexibility in an increasingly dynamic LNG market.

As part of the center’s equipment testing, development, and quality assurance work, liquid hydrogen pumps will be tested with hydrogen at -253°C.

The Myth Busters, Klaus Brun and Rainer Kurz, talk about surge and choke on a compressor map.

CarbonEdge, leveraging an integrated dashboard, delivers real-time data and CO2 flow alerts across carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) infrastructure.

The global LNG market has been impacted by new liquefaction capacity, price fluctuations, and political intervention yet it is slated to grow at an unprecedented rate through 2028.

The Myth Busters, Klaus Brun and Rainer Kurz, talk about compressor maps—what they are, how they are generated, and what they are useful for.

The September/October 2024 issue highlights the dynamic shifts in the global LNG market that are affecting exports, production, capacity growth, and more.

In addition to Piñon’s two acid gas injection wells in the Delaware Basin, Enterprise will evaluate a third location to support up to 750 MMcf/d in total treating capacity.

Supercritical CO2 (sCO2) may not have superpowers, but turbomachinery operators try to avoid working near the critical point at all costs.

The R3000 control panel is equipped with remote monitoring capabilities, offering a comprehensive data dashboard and customized reports to ensure reliable compressor operation.

Chevron will hold a 70% participating interest; Woodside Energy will hold a 30% stake; GS Caltex will potentially own a 5% interest upon regulatory approvals.

The industry recognizes two methods of decarbonization with gas turbines: low-carbon fuels and post-combustion carbon capture.

Dag Calafell of TPS talks plans for Asia TPS and the new wing of the Turbomachinery Lab at Texas A&M and its shift in focus from components to systems.

Anti-surge control systems prevent damage and improve turbomachinery performance by using controllers, valves, and transmitters to measure flow, pressure, and temperature.

At TPS 2024, Dag Calafell of TPS, shared turbomachinery trends and industry efforts toward decarbonization.

At TPS 2024, Klaus Brun of Ebara Elliott addresses the company’s rebranding, prominent industry challenges, and upcoming products for sustainability and green energy.

Session speakers offer an analysis of gas turbines, including their working principles, thermodynamics, condition monitoring and maintenance, and bottom-cycle performance.

Dr. Eric Petersen of Texas A&M shares what the hot sessions and topics are at TPS 2024.

At TPS 2024, Tim Allison, Ph.D., from the Southwest Research Institute (SWRI) shares what’s happening at SWRI.
