Application:
Refrigeration
Location:
Northeastern BC
Objective:
To design and build a custom dual train compression package that was required to provide compression for a refrigeration loop to cool plant processes.
1294 Tons of refrigeration was required to reach the final chilled temperature of approximately -40 F.
Design Challenges:
Due to extremely low temperatures, pipe stress was a challenge that the Compass team was able to overcome through custom engineering and design.
Compass Solution:
Compass constructed a custom dual 1950 HP screw refrigeration propane compressor package with 2 natural gas engines on a singular modular package.
