Debunking the Myth: Embracing Gearboxes for Enhanced Efficiency in Compressor Applications

Debunking the myth on methane leakage in the oil and gas industry. Gas gathering reciprocating compressors are a major source of methane.

ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY IS KEY

Closed loop compressor performance test comparisons

Upgrades required for LNG to meet demand

Klaus Brun and Rainer Kurz talk about summer electricity price gouging assumptions

The Myth Busters discuss the many colors of hydrogen and their place in the energy economy.

The phrase "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" has served us well in the turbomachinery industry.

During the pandemic we've been seeing the perpetuation of myths surrounding personal air filtration (AKA facemasks). As much as we'd enjoy poking fun at urban legends, we'll stay focused on air filtration for gas turbines.

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

Many of us have to verify compressor and driver performance in the field. We do a test, read the data, and convert it to flow, head, and some other parameters. Voila, we have done a valid test and we believe our data. Not so fast!
