Carbon Foot Print Reduction Techniques with Rotating Machinery

Abstract

Tutorial 8: Global Environment concerns and need for more optimized production costs is driving all industries including Oil & Gas to look at more ways to reduce energy consumption without compromising on plant throughputs. This is specially challenging for older units to carry out modifications on existing assets and justify these with good paybacks for the capital investment needed. The article looks at the possible solutions available in this regard relating to rotating equipment and are illustrated with case studies to back these recommendations in most cases.
