Application:
Sweet Natural Gas Compressor Package
Location:
West Texas, United States
Objective:
Client required a sweet gas, 3 stage compressor package moving ~12 MMSCFD
Design Challenges:
Build a package to reduce assembly hours in the field, minimize the number of shipped loose items, and deliver on a very tight schedule.
Compass Solution:
Compass designed a low shaft design for the enginecooler sheaves system. This allowed us to reduce the cooler height which also helped to keep all the interconnecting pipe on skid. This enabled significantly reduced time for reassembly in the field resulting in a shorter time frame for start-up of the unit.
