Compressor, Turbine & Process Design


Core Capabilities

  • Process design using in-house and industry-standard packages

  • Compressor selection and modelling

  • Gas turbine selection and modelling

  • Concurrent process and machinery optimisation

  • Dynamic simulation

Benefits

  • Analysis of several process options on a consistent basis

  • Selection of gas turbine or motor drivers with realistic power margins

  • Identification of cost reduction opportunities only realised through optimising both compressor together

  • Stability and operating envelopes improved

  • Start-up risks reduced


Selecting the right equipment for the task and configuring it to the optimum specification is vital to ensure that you maintain maximum productivity at the most cost-effective price.

In order to optimise your process and compressor design, MSE has a highly-experienced team of process and machinery engineers, supported by our proprietary software, to ensure that you have the most suitable equipment recommended for your operating conditions.

The definition and specification of process design parameters for centrifugal compressor selection is a critical activity at the conceptual and basic design stage. Generally the selection of compressors is carried out by manual methods using data supplied by vendors. This is a time-consuming and potentially inaccurate method, which cannot be relied upon to give the optimum process design for the facility. Often the selection of the compressor is handed over to the vendor, which can hinder getting the most suitable compressor required for the job.

MSE has compiled an extensive database of specific compressor characteristics, including wheel characteristics, performance and driver data. This enables us to evaluate alternative scenarios for your equipment, using realistic information to optimise process systems. Our software program uses this data to provide you with:

  • The optimal compressor selection for given process data

  • The highest efficiency

  • The lowest cost

  • Operational flexibility

  • Avoidance of potential misapplications

In addition, once machinery is in position, we can offer you monitoring services to ensure that your equipment maintains optimum efficiency levels. If problems are encountered, we can identify the reasons and provide you with potential solutions.

MSE assists you with the specification of:

  • Gas compressors - both centrifugal and reciprocating types

  • Gas turbines, steam turbines, micro turbines, power generation and turbo-generators

  • Process equipment, exchangers, separators, KO drums, etc.

  • Turbo expanders

  • Variable speed motors

  • Combined heat and power systems
