A generic tutorial on the capture of CO2 from stack gases, its compression, pumping and injection. Pump types, thermodynamics, equations of state, sealing, and other related subjects discussed.

The amount of damping in the rotor/bearing system is the key to stability of centrifugal gas compressors, especially for rotors with high slenderness ratio. A full pressure performance test can certainly demonstrate whether ...

Following the changes to API 671, there is a requirement to reduce temperature around guarded coupling designs. Existing features used in high performance (HP) couplings involve various methods of shrouding and covering ...

Design of seals and sealing systems requires multidisciplinary skills and deep understanding of interactions between the seals and its environment. This paper proposes to present typical gas seals contaminants and corresponding ...

Load induced power fluctuations in a pair of synchronous motor driven reciprocating compressor trains have been shown to interact with a gas turbine driven power generation source. Electrical current pulsations predicted ...

The purpose of this case study is to present an investigation of substantial damage to the rotor of a large centrifugal propane refrigeration compressor that is installed in an 800 MTPA Ethylene plant. After ten years of ...

Approximately one year after installing a new gearbox, vibration levels were gradually increasing. The tire plant requested that the gearbox manufacturer investigate under warranty. A field study was performed by an ...
