Selling Points â API 617 Compliance, per Appendix J • All major exceptions eliminated â Smaller Footprint â No Compressor Lube-Oil System • Pumps, Filters, Coolers, Piping • No Oil Usage â Substantially reduced Maintenance â 75% reduction in Parasitic Losses
Selling Points â Oil-Free Gas Compression â Zero Fugitive Emissions â Single Dry-gas Seal • Half the Flare Leakage of the Competition • Competitors use 2 Seals
Selling Points â State-of-the-Art Diagnostics • Real-time Rotor Position Monitoring • Real-time Rotor Forces Monitoring (5 -Axis) â Programmable Bearing Response • Stiffness & Damping (Phase & Gain) â Automatic Balancing System (ABS) • Reduced Seizmic Vibrations
Return on Investment (ROI) â 4 -6 Years • Parasitic Losses • Oil-Usage • Support Systems • Reduced Maintenance
Applications â Take the “ML” where the “M” can’t go! â Strict API Specifications â Oil-Free Gas Compression
ML - Ready to Go!!
