Everllence Supplies Motor Pipeline Compressor for Lithuanian Gas Transmission

MT Group, a European EPC contractor, contracted Everllence to deliver a 5-MW hermetically sealed motor pipeline compressor (MOPICO) system for the Jauniunai station in Lithuania, operated by AB Amber Grid. The new MOPICO system will compress natural gas to approximately 53 bar, increasing transmission capacity while using renewable electricity and ensuring zero direct CO₂ emissions during operation.

“Our partnership with MT Group and Amber Grid marks a milestone on the path toward stable and sustainable energy supply in Europe,” said Basil Zweifel, Senior Vice President, Sales & Project Management Upstream & Midstream at Everllence. “Our MOPICO technology combines energy efficiency, flexibility, and environmental performance. With its fully electric drive and oil-free, hermetically sealed design, the system eliminates emissions, reduces maintenance, and supports the decarbonization of critical infrastructure.”

The MOPICO compressor is directly driven by a high-speed electric motor and features MECOS active magnetic bearing technology, eliminating the need for dry gas seals and lubrication systems. These design aspects lead to higher reliability and minimized lifecycle costs. Design, manufacturing, and testing activities are performed at Everllence’s facility in Zurich, Switzerland.

“This project with Everllence demonstrates how advanced technology and sustainability can be brought together,” said Mindaugas Zakaras, CEO of MT Group. “By integrating renewable energy and zero-emission compression into Amber Grid’s network, we are modernizing critical infrastructure while shaping the foundation for a cleaner and more resilient energy future in Europe.”

Lithuania’s gas transmission network operates as a regional corridor for gas transport between Latvia and Poland. In order to ensure the transport of large-scale gas volumes over long distances, compressor stations must increase pipeline pressure every 150 – 250 kilometers.

TCT Turbocharger

Earlier this month, MITSUI E&S and Everllence unveiled the first TCT turbocharger to be produced under license domestically—the TCT40 axial turbocharger. In 2022, MITSUI agreed to build Everllence’s TCT axial-turbocharger series to replace older turbocharger models for two-stroke engines. Japanese production will begin with the TCT40 model, with plans to build additional TCT sizes over time.

The TCT40 features a newly developed radial compressor and axial turbine tested with the latest simulation technologies, establishing a compact and lightweight turbocharger design. It provides significant charging efficiencies, wide compressor maps, and matching options to multiple engines. This variability covers a wide range of engine-tuning options and fuel types and complies with exhaust gas after-treatment systems for IMO Tier III operations.

TCT-series turbochargers are suitable for two-stroke engines in the 5.5 – 24 MW range, with typical applications including prime movers for container vessels, large bulk carriers, and tankers. Generally, TCT models offer the following features:

• Long TBOs and high-performance bearings
• Maintenance-friendly service concept and low lifecycle costs
• High specific flow rates for a compact and lightweight design
• Low noise emissions
• High efficiency levels

BECCS Compressors

In September 2025, SAIPEM contracted Everllence to deliver core compressor and expander technology for Stockholm Exergi’s Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) project at the Värtaverket biomass power plant in Stockholm, Sweden. The plant will use Everllence’s electrically driven MAX1 compressor train for managing flue gas, which features the AG110 axial compressor and the EN080 axial expander.
