SITUATION:

The existing compressors, (4) Worthington BDCcompressors, no longer supported by the OEM. Old pipeline plant moth-balled for many years. Purchased by Spire Storage with limited reciprocating compressor experience.

CUSTOMER’S NEED:

Multiple pipeline connections requiring a wide range of operating conditions. Aggressive project timeline after FERC approval.

ACI’S SOLUTION:

  • Modeled performance and developed a performance map to meet all conditions using ACI Simplex and Duplex Unloaders.

  • Designed new cylinder assemblies using existing forged cylinder bodies from the used market.

  • All new internals.

  • Refurbished compressor frames to as-new condition.

  • Refurbished 5500 HP electric motors.

  • New primary and secondary pulsation bottles

  • Pulsation and mechanical/torsional studies

  • Provided a “new unit warranty” and “comprehensive product support.”

“I highly recommend ACI Services to anyone in the market for professional and reliable compressor parts. Whether you need a specific compressor part or a custom plan, its great team will ensure you receive the best customer service and solution for your needs.”

RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT

ReCompress has the capabilities and experience to design and manufacture any cylinder assembly possible.

We will design and build new cylinders to your specifications or to match OEM specifications and the new cylinder body can often utilize existing valves, pistons, rod assemblies and packing cases. We will design the new cylinders such that they will maintain the same center line dimensions and frame connections as the existing cylinder, this allows a ‘drop in’ replacement of the cylinder and using the existing bottles and auxiliary connections.
