limited panel space and its low power consumption significantly
reduces control system life cycle cost and makes it a perfect
solution for a floating LNG (FLNG) plant.
PRODIGY allows for seamless legacy systemmigration by
using proven control algorithms for risk mitigation; migration is
even possible during a planned shutdown.
This technology offers total application control to help
maximise productivity and profitability, while reducing risk
throughout each cycle. The PRODIGY platform is a revolutionary
control solution for any LNG industry application around the
globe.
Cryostar
T
aking advantage of the 40-year experience of the company
in cryogenic pumps for industrial gas applications, Cryostar’s
new pump development MX uses the best features of globally
renowned VP and MCP ranges. With a record of more than 500
of these existing pumps delivered in 2013, a new technical and
commercial success is expected from the MX pump type.
Designed for continuous duty process applications focused
especially, but not exclusively, on air separation units and
liquefiers, the MX pump range is available in 2 or 3-stage
configuration and 2 wheel sizes (220 and 260mm) to reach flows
up to 1500L/min and design pressure of 50 or 60 barg depending
on execution.
Dresser-Rand
D
resser-Rand is among the largest suppliers of
custom-engineered rotating equipment solutions for
long-life, critical applications in the oil, gas, petrochemical,
power generation, and process industries. The company has
been involved with the world’s leading LNG producers since the
technology was first introduced.
Dresser-Rand’s latest innovation for the LNGmarket is its
LN
Go
systemwhich uses a combination of Dresser-Rand
technologies, including its MOS™ reciprocating compressor, its
Guascor
®
gas engine and Enginuity
®
control system in a portable,
small-footprint package that can be placed on well pads, gas
flares and similar sites.
The system allows for very small stand-alone plants that are
portable and can be moved to support changing requirements
and needs. The LN
Go
System is sized to produce approximately
6000 gal./d of LNG and can be used in upstream, midstream and
downstream applications.
In addition to LN
Go
technology, innovations in the
Dresser-Rand high-efficiency DATUM
®
line of centrifugal
compressors have supported significant advancements in natural
gas recovery and transport. Dresser-Rand innovations in
compression technology, rotor dynamics, head capacity, and
efficiency per compression section provide incremental
production gains. Other innovations in compressors for LNG
applications can help maximise production by reducing the
number and duration of maintenance shutdowns.
