COMPRESSOR VIBRATION PROBLEMS DUE TO CHANGED GAS COMPOSITION. A CASE STUDY.

Author(s) : DWIVEDI S. N.

Summary

THE PAPER DISCUSSES A CASE STUDY OF VIBRATION PROBLEMS FACED ON A MULTISTAGE RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR HANDLING A COMPLEX MIXTURE OF HYDROCARBONS. THE VIBRATIONS WERE SO SEVERE THAT THE COMPRESSOR COULD NOT BE RUN CONTINUOUSLY. IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEMS WERE DUE TO CHANGED GAS COMPOSITION. THE METHODOLOGY OF INVESTIGATIONS, ANALYSIS AND FURTHER SOLUTION ARE PRESENTED. THE AUTHOR CONCLUDES WITH AN APPEAL TO ALL COMPRESSOR USERS AND CONSULTANTS TO SPECIFY AS FAR AS POSSIBLE A REALISTIC GAS COMPOSITION AND IN CASE THERE IS ANY CHANGE LATER TO INFORM THE COMPRESSOR MANUFACTURER FOR CARRYING OUT AN ANALYSIS OF THE CHANGED GAS COMPOSITION.
