Above stock unit performance is typical and can be optimized around other conditions. Contact NGSG for your specific needs.
NGSG SMART System Highlights:
- Reduce shutdowns by as much as 25% over industry standard compressors*
- 100% turn down of flow - 24/7/365
- Elimination of pressure, horsepower, and rod-load related shutdowns
- Rock-solid pressure control over the widest range of process needs & upsets
- Robust freeze avoidance for uninterrupted operation in cold weather
- Run through fluctuating BTU fuel gas upsets rather than shutting down
- Maximum power and flow optimized over the entire range of process conditions – done automatically
- When N+1 units are installed, compressor flow reliability approaches 100% as the multiple machines automatically increase flow to fill gap when unit goes down
- Dewpoint control – temperature process control to within 2-4°F of setpoint
- Telemetry via cellular or satellite of package data (includes ALL engine panel information too):
- Remote setpoint allowable
- Monthly sorting and tally of alarms/shutdowns for continuous improvement
- Both customer connection at panel and web-based access to real time and historical data
Package Build Features:
- All vessels compliant with ASME Section VIII standards with 1/8" corrosion allowance
- All vessels compliant with API 11P Class C standard
- All piping systems meet ASME B31.3 standard
- API 618 Design Approach 2 pulsation and mechanical analysis performed for smooth operations
- Standard design to maximize parts availability and minimize downtime
- Suction control and recycle valves - Murphy CS controller. Recycle valve is mounted on skid
- Inlet strainer with break out valves - DP pressure monitoring through controller for alarm/clean
- DP pressure and temperature monitoring across exhaust catalyst
- Rigid four beam skid with 1.5 times capacity environmental containment designed to mount on packed earthen pad
Driver:
- NGSG custom knock out fuel gas scrubber for maximum engine protection
- Electrical rating service of Class 1, Group D, Division II areas*
- NGSG custom designed, Murphy CS controlled inner and outer louvers, separate for each process gas section – These louver sections do not require frequent adjustments and repairs like industry standard louvers
- No hot gas bypass required
- NGSG custom flooded skirt heat tracing to avoid package liquid line freeze ups
- Critical grade engine exhaust silencer
- Murphy CS controller–fully integrated with engine messages and alarms
- Cold weather starting capability - Kim hot start for oil and jacket water (option)
- 500 psig MAWP blow case on separate skid (option)
- Emissions Control System designed to achieve 0.5 g/bhp-hr NOx* and 0.2 g/bhp-hr CO*
- Electric start system with on board battery charger
- Electric pre-lube system
Compressor:
- 2600 BHP 4-Throw Frame
- 700-1400 RPM
- 4.5" Stroke
- 100,000 lbf Total Rod Load
- VVCP's on all cylinders**
