TT01 - Tutorial on Centrifugal Compressor Surge Control
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
For every centrifugal compressor installation, the design of the surge control system is vitally important to prevent damage of the compressor internal components, seals, and bearings. While most surge control systems are ...
PT04 - Improving The Use of Plant Operators
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Every plant has operators. They may be an untapped resource to improve reliability at a marginally low cost. The operators believe its his job is to make good product, do it safely, and prevent environmental excursions. ...
CST02 - Chandlersville and St. Paul: Unique Piping Vibration Issue in a New Centrifugal Compressor Installation
(Turbomachinery LaboratoryTexas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
An unexpected vibration issue was seen at two of Tallgrass Energys recently installed compressor stations (Chandlersville and St. Paul) and was associated with certain operating conditions when specific combinations of the ...
T4 - Centrifugal Compressors 201
(Turbomachinery LaboratoryTexas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])

TT02 - Compressor Selection for LNG Liquefaction Plants
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
One of the most critical components of an LNG liquefaction facility are the refrigeration compressors and their drivers, which have a significant influence on overall plant performance and production efficiency. Refrigeration ...
PL06 - Investigation on the influence of an inducer on the transport of single and two-phase air-water flows by centrifugal pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
This study explains the influence of an upstream inducer on the transport of single and two-phase air-water flows by a centrifugal pump. The inducer has generally a slight influence on single-phase flow. For two-phase ...
PL07 - Sand Management and Erosion Prediction in Subsea Multiphase Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Over the past ten years, subsea multiphase pumping has accomplished extraordinary technology breakthroughs. The drivers are the oil and gas companies requirements for deeper and more remote subsea production satellites ...
