I work in a gas compression field that and mainly use 2 stages or 3 stages reciprocating compressors with capacities range from 4 to 25 MMSCFD (Suction pressures from vacuum to 50 psig @ 110°F and Discharge is 450 psig).
Normal composition of the natural gas in our gas gathering system is 75%...
We are experiencing high vibration at 40% load in an oil flooded rotary screw compressor (Service: Wet Process Gas, Suction= 0 psig, Discharge= 60 psig. Electric Motor Driven, 3600 RPM with suction scrubber and filter installed upstream the compressor):
At 1% load vibration is low.
At 40% load...
I'd appreciate comments of plunger (triplex) pump packing in gasoline service (100°F, Ps= 30 psig, Pd= 665 psig, 185 RPM).
Pump model is Wheatley HP100L. Packing needs replacement from 10 to 30 days. We're using Zero emission packing sets that are Tandem Sets (2 sets of packing that create a...
