    Impact of CO2 % increase in natural gas recip compressors

    Thanks for the prompt reply. We have both types (gas engine and electric motor driven) and fuel gas is supply from a residue gas header from the plant with no CO2. I'll check then with each vendor about components that may be upgraded considering corrosion.

    Impact of CO2 % increase in natural gas recip compressors

    I work in a gas compression field that and mainly use 2 stages or 3 stages reciprocating compressors with capacities range from 4 to 25 MMSCFD (Suction pressures from vacuum to 50 psig @ 110°F and Discharge is 450 psig). Normal composition of the natural gas in our gas gathering system is 75%...

    Rotary Compressor: High Vibration at 40% Load

    I'll include the pulsation readings at the same time vibration is taken at different load condition. Any web link to look for pulsation dampeners in case that is the problem? Regards,

    Rotary Compressor: High Vibration at 40% Load

    No pulsation control devices are installed. Flow is 6 MMSCFD. Equipment upstream of Compressor: Suction Scrubber and Suction Filter (Pipe size is 16-in). Equipment downstream of Compressor: Oil/Gas separator, cooler and discharge scrubber. Pipe size is 16-in. We are planning to take vibration...

    Rotary Compressor: High Vibration at 40% Load

    We are experiencing high vibration at 40% load in an oil flooded rotary screw compressor (Service: Wet Process Gas, Suction= 0 psig, Discharge= 60 psig. Electric Motor Driven, 3600 RPM with suction scrubber and filter installed upstream the compressor): At 1% load vibration is low. At 40% load...

    Plunger pump packing in Gasoline service

    I'd appreciate comments of plunger (triplex) pump packing in gasoline service (100°F, Ps= 30 psig, Pd= 665 psig, 185 RPM). Pump model is Wheatley HP100L. Packing needs replacement from 10 to 30 days. We're using Zero emission packing sets that are Tandem Sets (2 sets of packing that create a...
