Re-wheeling and Re-design of "Legacy" Compressors

MSE has wide ranging experience of production optimisation through compressor re-design, which is both cost effective and practical. A compressor re-design involving re-wheeling is straightforward as MSE provides engineering support and consultancy work for our clients, for new projects as well as existing "mature" oil and gas assets. 


The re-design does not require a change of casing, piping or the gas turbine engine. This is achieved by optimising the impeller aerodynamics (using more efficient impellers) which better match the changing flows and pressures resulting in higher compressor efficiency. The power thus released is then used to increase flow capacity which eliminates surging of compressors and reduces discharge temperatures, all of which combine to improve equipment reliability and availability.
