cycle compressor.
The final recompression is carried out in the 2-stage
centrifugal barrel-type compressor, which is directly driven by an
aeroderivative gas turbine driver.

L
.A. Turbine designs and manufactures application-specific,
highly engineered turboexpanders used in hydrocarbon
processing, geothermal power generation and other industrial
power recovery applications. Within the LNG industry,
L.A. Turbine turboexpanders are used for boil-off gas (BOG),
nitrogen refrigeration, dew point control, and for the complete
removal of condensation on LPG, LNG, or ethane recovery from
hydrocarbon gas streams.
Turboexpander configurations include expander-compressor,
expander-generator, expander-dyno (brake) and expander
compressors with active magnetic bearing units. Turboexpanders
range from 3 kW to 14MW, can handle up to 3000 psig pressure,
speeds up to 105 000 rpm and temperatures from -195°C to
260°C. From concept to commissioning, L.A. Turbine controls and
manages the entire equipment design, engineering,
manufacturing, assembly and testing process. As a result, the
company delivers fast-to-market solutions.
