- Principle: Transport gas by pipeline to deliver products to refineries, storage or distribution network. Pipeline compression stations are used to boost gas pressure into a pipeline.
- Process: Drive a compressor with an electric motor to maintain gas pressure into the pipeline
- Our solution is adapted to the compressor manufacturer’s requirements:
- High speed solution (6 years maintenance free)
- Traditional solution with gearbox
- Our technology:
| Motors | Variable Speed Drive System |
| Induction motors | PWM (MV7000) |
| Synchronous motors | LCI (SD7000) and PWM (MV7000) |
- Customer benefits -- using traditional solutions
Compared to gas turbines, Converteam’s traditional electric solution provides:- Variable speed for the compressor unit (gas flow)
- Soft starting for compressor unit (life time)
- High efficiency and availability
- Constant torque capability (high starting torque)
- Full history recording, remote-diagnostics directly connected to manufacturing
- No CO2 or NOX emission
- Customer benefits -- using High Speed solution
With the electric High Speed solution, the above advantages are strengthened, as this solution:- is gear-box free
- is compact – takes up less room and is lighter
- has high permanent efficiency (lower operating costs)
- has fewer components: simple installation, less auxiliary consumption
In addition, with the integrated solution, there are even more advantages: - oil, air, water free
- motor cooling using gas
