Sundyne Gives Centrifugal Compressors a Boost

 

The current issue of Compressor-Tech2 Magazine features a Sundyne story, which originated from a press release we issued in November 2020.

Compressor Tech-2 Editor DJ Slater posted a brief story covering the news and he requested additional information for a more in-depth story.  Sundyne’s global compressor product line manager Grégory Junot provided content for the larger story explaining why Sundyne compressors are appropriate for these applications. Entitled Sundyne Gives Centrifugal Compressors a Boost, you may read the article here.



Highlights include:
  • The fuel gas boosting market is important today - because commercial power generation for grid injection is transitioning to greener processes that minimize CO2 emissions.  Combined-cycle gas-fired power generation is increasingly being selected for greenfield and brownfield projects, to replace coal-fired plants, to support generation by renewables and to extend existing plants.
  • Fuel gas boosting in general has been impacted by the pandemic, which has highlighted the need for flexible and quick/responsive generation systems enabled by gas-fired plants.
  • Sundyne compressors have been used in fuel gas boosting applications since 1976, when an LMC-311P was installed to boost fuel gas for an on-board ship turbine.

  • Sundyne’s control system supplies fuel gas at pressures needed for optimal turbine operation, under all load conditions, within 1% precision. 
     
  • Sundyne systems provide a complete solution: the compressor train, the process equipment, the control system and all the auxiliaries are designed by Sundyne’s engineers; and assembled at our factories. No third party packagers are involved, and customers benefit from 50+ years of Sundyne experience and expertise.

  • Sundyne recently announced design improvements to Sundyne compressor impellers and IGVs (See document links below) – that give new units the ability to produce the same amount of flow utilizing less power than previous designs.
