CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSION MACHINERY FOR WET NATURAL GAS APPLICATIONS: PRELIMINARY PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS AND A SCHEME TO RECOVER LOST PERFORMANCE
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Wet gas compression during upstream production is a major concern for the oil and gas industry, due mainly to the presence of liquid hydrocarbons, as high as 13% by mass fraction in the compressed gas, affecting the system ...
PROCESS CONTROL OPTIMIZATION FOR CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS ON ACTIVE MAGNETIC BEARINGS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
During the testing activities of a subsea prototype compression station in Norway, which included full load operation of an integrated vertical motocompressor levitated by active magnetic bearings (AMBs), relevant efforts ...
STABILITY CONSIDERATIONS – A SIMPLIFIED APPROACH
(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 ...
BLADE VIBRATION MEASUREMENTS AND EXCITATION FORCE EVALUATION
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Tip timing blade vibration measuring systems have
become nowadays common for monitoring blade vibrations,
due to rather easy and non-intrusive installation of sensors. The
data collected by the sensors must be heavily ...

Root Cause Analysis of a Vibration Problem in a Propylene Turbo Compressor
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Problem:• A newly installed turbo compressor system for
propylene showed vibrations in the piping
system and rotor.
• After that supporting layout was significantly
improved measurements showed that
vibrations were ...
