The Difference between Centrifugal Compressors and Other Rotating Equipment

10 Jan

Centrifugal compressors are unique compared to most other rotating equipment. This uniqueness brings with it complexities that other rotating equipment does not have and is easy to underestimate.

A failure to understand this uniqueness of centrifugal compressors can lead to field development projects not delivering on production targets and lifecycle ROI.

The key difference between centrifugal compressors and other rotating equipment is that they are BESPOKE. They are not off-the-shelf, plug-and-play “black box” equipment that you can just acquire from the manufacturer, and they will work optimally. They must be optimally designed selected for the field conditions and therein lies its complexity.

We help #oilandgas firms overcome this complexity via our CONCEPTCOMPRESSOR™️and modgas™️ processes during field development and major modifications respectively.

A deep understanding and responsiveness to this distinguishing feature of centrifugal compressors can enable you to get the best out of oil and gas assets and increase production by eliminating production bottlenecks. Grasping this reality will help reduce project technical and commercial risks.

We have an exclusive webinar for oil and #energy professionals coming up in 5-6 weeks’ time. During this webinar, we will dig deeper into how oil and gas companies have used this understanding to optimize their gas compression systems and enhance production.

Let me know if you would like us to reserve a space for you. There are only 35 spaces, and we will be giving them out on a first-come, first-served basis.

Simply SEND ME A DIRECT MESSAGE if interested.
