Overview

Challenges
  • Compare any performance deviations of two identical main refrigeration compressors before shipping to client site over 8,000 km away
Results
  • Performance curves showed minimal deviations and fulfilled the needs of their plant performance assessment
  • Our customized testing procedure significantly reduced CO₂ emissions during the test, versus conventional methods
Case study details

Based on project-specific requirements for a new LNG facility with 12+ MTPA capacity, the customer asked us to test two identical multiphase propane compressors before shipment to site. They wanted to appraise the performance deviation, if any, between the two units, as results were needed to complete their plant performance assessment and ensure plant availability.
