      RasGas is operating many centrifugal compressors from different major OEM’s. Of an OEM product-line, twenty-four (24) centrifugal compressors with a total rated power of roughly ~ 900 Mega-watt are in operation, out of ...
    • Huebner, Michael; Buck, Gordon; Azibert, Henri (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      API 682 is the leading document for mechanical seals in petrochemical, chemical, and pipeline services worldwide. It has combined the aspects of seal design, testing, standardization, and applications to provide the users ...
    • Garcia-Hernandez, Augusto; Bennett, Jeffrey (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      Centrifugal compressors are subject to transient events, such as emergency shutdowns, which can cause energetic surge events during rapid shutdown transients. Many modeling tools are used to predict the behavior of compressor ...
    • Ramsekar, Dakshina Murthy; Muchaweck, Franz (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
    • Whalen, John; Hess, Thomas; Allen, Jim; Craighton, Jack (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      Within most plants there is often a desire to extend the time between outages. Several factors determine this but one to consider is the bearings ability to run for the extended time. This Tutorial will address common ...
    • Kurz, Rainer; Brun, Klaus (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      The power and efficiency characteristics of a gas turbine are the result of a complex interaction of different turbo machines and a combustion system. In this tutorial, we will address the basic characteristics of each ...
    • Kurz, Rainer; White, Robert; Brun, Klaus; Winklemann, Bernhard (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      This tutorial discusses the design and function of surge control systems, or more precisely, surge avoidance systems on the basis of the behavior of centrifugal compressors when they interact with compression systems. ...

    • Cappuccini, Filippo; Giannozzi, Massimo; Romanelli, Marco; Pietrangeli, Emanuele; Di Pietro, Domenico; Buccioni, Massimilano (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      The rising demand for oil and gas has led us to exploit oil fields and gas reservoirs with increasing amounts of contaminants. Reserves of natural gas are abundant, but about 40% of the fields contain high concentrations ...
    • Baumann, Urs (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      In many cases it is necessary to judge the stability behavior of a specific compressor. This might be the OEM checking the feasibility of a proposed compressor layout or it might be the user judging one of his machines ...
    • Welch, Michael; Igoe, Brian (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      It is important that gas turbines used in Oil & Gas applications can burn a wide variety of fuels with the minimum impact on the environment or economics. Many types of gaseous and liquid fuels that can be used in Gas ...
