Design Centered Around...

Reliability
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and an extensive history in compressor
design will assure that we provide our customers with a reliable
solution that will last well into the future.

Performance
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) ensures each compressor is
optimized to give our customers the best performance and efficiency
possible, reducing your power requirements and minimizing the cost
over the operating life of the compressor.

Function
Working hand-in-hand with your engineers, we will establish a design
that can be adopted into your process. Solid (3D) Modeling aids in
visualizing the compressor’s layout and optimizing the footprint while
proving fit and function.

You
Our Design and Application Engineers will evaluate your given
conditions and specifications to determine our unique solution that
will perform and comply to your specific needs.

Manufacturing
The manufacturing methods and procedures at our 200,000 sq. ft. facility rely
collectively on our highly skilled individuals and versatile machining.

Manufacturing Processes Includes:

■ 5 - Axis CNC Milling ■ Welding
■ 3 - Axis CNC Milling ■ Pipe Fitting
■ CNC Lathe Turning & Grinding ■ Balancing & Overspeed Test (Impellers)
Utilizing these individuals coupled with our passion for quality and drive for excellence, we can
ensure that only world-class product is delivered to our customers each and every time.

Testing
Our compressor’s components and assemblies are thoroughly tested to verify that material
functionality and properties are compliant to our design and your specification.

Tests include:
■ Hydrostatic Pressure (Casing) ■ Mechanical Run (Compressor)
■ Blade Frequency (Impeller) ■ Performance Test, per ASME PTC-10
■ Overspeed (Impeller) ■ Test Points Specified by Customer
Test reports are provided to the customer upon completion of compressor testing.

All compressors are fully tested to meet customer requirements. Our 5,000 HP (3,725 kW)
variable speed drive train, indoor testing beds and data acquisition software are utilized to test
your compressor under full load conditions. For compressors with higher power ratings, tests can
be preformed using the customer/ job motor or testing the compressor as an exhauster to
verify performance.

 IMPELLERS: Offered in many different designs and constructions of several different
materials, depending upon the operating conditions and gas being handled. The impel-
ler is statically and dynamically balanced and then oversped to 15% above maximum
operating speed. The impeller is then mounted on the shaft with a suitable locking
device and the rotor assembly is dynamically balanced.

BEARINGS: Tilt Pad, Sleeve and Integral Squeeze Film

Damper (ISFD) type bearings are utilized in the radial (journal)
orientation, while Tapered Land and Multi-Shoe Equalizing are
utilized in the axial (thrust) orientation. Bearing type is selected
dependent upon the compressor type.

SEALS: Air applications utilize the Standard Labyrinth Seal, while Double
Labyrinth, Carbon Ring and Dry Mechanical Seals are utilized for gas ap-
plications. Buffer and suction ports can be provided for additional retention
of the process gas. Gas-tight shutoff sealing is also available to ensure gas
retention when the compressor is not operating.

LUBE OIL SYSTEM: Lube system can be provided in three different

configurations: integral, console mounted to the baseplate, and console
mounted off the baseplate. Each system will consist of a main and
auxiliary oil pump, oil cooler, oil filter, bypass valve for temperature
control, oil reservoir (minimum 3 minute retention), and necessary safety
switches and gauges.

 Name Description
Assembly incorporating a centrifugal compressor (rotor assembly, inlet housing, volute,
casing cover, and bearing stand) and a speed increasing gear box in one housing. The
Compressor/Gear Box compressor design is capable of facilitating the use of both inlet guide vanes as well as
diffuser vanes (variable or fixed) for optimal efficiency over a wide range of performance
points. Capable of meeting API-672 and API-617.
Primary drive options are electric motors, with or without variable frequency drive, and
Driver
steam turbines. In select instances internal combustion (IC) engines have been utilized.
The standard IGCH design lends itself to the use of an integral lube system; in which
the lube oil reservoir is housed within the structure of the baseplate, with the lube oil
components (pumps, valves, coolers, and filters) mounted on top of the reservoir with the
Lube Oil System
compressor. If specified, the lube system can be a separate console shipped loose for
installation near the compressor. Lube systems can be designed to meet API-614 Chapters
2 or 3, as well as API-672.
Boxed construction utilizing structural supports for bracing and rigidity. Grouting pockets,
anchor bolt holes and leveling screws are incorporated into the design to provide additional
Baseplate stability and rigidity during operation. Lifting lugs are incorporated into the design for ease
in transportation of the equipment from the factory to the job site. Compressors can ad-
ditionally be supplied with a drip lip and/or non-skid decking.
Provide conditional monitoring for the compressor, driver and lube oil system.
Additionally,the local control panel (baseplate or off mounted) houses the intelligence for
Controls
positioning inlet guide vanes and variable discharge diffuser vanes. The local instrumenta-
tion and panel provide real-time, local data through gauges, switches, or transmitters.
