With an experience of 7 years, we have been excelling in Gas compressor overhauling since our establishment. Various companies has entrusted us with their generators/Turbines/pumps/motors overhauling, at TAWEELAH power plant, DAS ISLAND (ADGAS),Esnaad and UM AL NAAR since 2013 . We have also undertaken fabrication, removal and installation of tube bundles, and pressure testing of heat exchangers.

1.1 SERVICE SOLUTIONS

Reciprocating compressors are in continuous operation for decades. To ensure utmost reliability and maximum cost benefit, we assist our customers throughout the entire life cycle of a reciprocating compressor, regardless of brand. In every way possible.

A worldwide service network allows us to provide comprehensive customer service. Our spare parts and components logistics activities use original parts backed by our very own manufacturer's warranty. The services offered include on-site maintenance and repairs, 24-hour technical support, engineering services, installation upgrades and modernization, sophisticated real time condition monitoring and diagnostics, and technical customer training programs to ensure optimal reciprocating compressors operation and maintenance.

1.2 CONDITION MONITORING OF ROTARY EQUIPMENT

AB HOLIZTECH ANALYTICS is a structured assessment program to analyse, evaluate and optimize your compressor system.

Using advanced measurement and analysis techniques based on our OEM expertise, we can enhance reliability and sustainability. A thorough assessment reveals any issues such as bad actors, inefficient utilities & energy use, gas leakages, excessive vibration and more. AB HOLIZTECH ANALYTICS works with compressors of any type, age and duty; it can be applied to just an individual compressor or an entire fleet.

Reduced leakage - extended lifetime

 A customer reported that the lifetime of the sealing system and piston rod packing was below three months, gas leakage was high causing inefficiencies in operation, and the piston rod surface polished during operations. All these issue had to be looked at in a full system assessment to find the root causes. Experts from al bairaq went on site to analyse the situation and employed different techniques to assess and measure.

We took the time to understand the maintenance and operation routines and performed a thorough visual inspection. We collected data by measuring important factors such as geometry, roughness, leakage, vibration, and energy usage, while also reviewing the maintenance documentation. It is very important to understand the full history and operation mode of the system.

With the collected data, we identified possible failure root causes and eliminated them. We discovered that the high leakage was a consequence improperly selected material resulting in low adaptability and stiffness of the sealing elements. The combination of abrasive ring material and not-optimal piston rod coating were causing surface polishing, leading to inefficiencies in operation. Additionally, the sealing elements' short lifetime was a result of poor selection of the tribological system.

Now that we understood the causes, we were able to provide effective solutions to improve the situation.  material for the piston and rider ring, as well as the packing elements. This material is specifically designed for reciprocating compressors. We suggested a new cylinder liner that not only provides superior sealing but also offers optimized surface finishing. This unique combination ensures minimal leakage and exceptional performance. We coated the piston rod with a specially formulated finishing that is specifically designed for dry-running operations. This coating enhances the durability and longevity of the rod, further reducing the chances of leaks and breakdowns.

1.3 emission management solution

Reduce fugitive emission to counteract climate change

We specialized in providing advanced enhance the sealing of reciprocating compressors and tackles the issue of gas escape.

• Upgrade of existing packing cases with new sealing element
• New packing with optimized rings, i.e. MP (multi-piece) ring
• New packing with possibility of purge and buffer the packing
• Replacement or repair of cylinders

 

Improve safety with packing revamp

An additional buffer system was installed on a lubricated process gas compressor to avoid mixing of process gas with nitrogen. The clean process gas can be reinjected into the process, eliminating the need for flaring. The buffer system was equipped with two leak gas connections to separate the gases properly. It not only made the compressor tighter but also much safer for the environment and the peoples.

Reliable and proven solutions

At Burckhardt Compression, we have a strong foundation in OEM engineering, which allows us to develop and deliver solutions that have been proven to be technically sound. Our customers trust us to provide them with sealing solutions that not only work efficiently but also have a long-lasting impact on their operations.

Sealing system upgrade

• Existing rings and sealing elements with newest design optimally combined using the optimal materials to allow lowest leakage.

Designs and ring technologies:

• MP (multi-piece) rings
• Optimized MP rings (new design)
• 4-ring system
• 6-pieced rings

 

New packing

• Completely new packing solution
• Combination of newest ring designs and material technology
• Soft iron seal is creating a superior seal between the packing case and the cylinder
• O-rings between each cup will give an additional layer of protection from gas leaking between the cup faces
• Lapped sealing surfaces for all packing cups to reduce leakage between the cups

 

New packing with purge and buffer

 

• Completely new packing with the possibility to purge and buffer the packing
• Buffer connection to avoid process gas entering the distance piece
• Combination of newest ring designs and material technology
• Vent connection to transport minimal leak gas to a safe location, a collection system or to the flare (if the connection pipes are already existing)

 

Engineering services complement our product offering

 

Our engineering services are a valuable addition to our product offerings. We go beyond providing rod packings and offer solutions to assess and optimize the cylinders on your compressors. Our goal is to ensure the highest sealing and maintainability standards.

Through our static sealing solutions, we can effectively seal your cylinders and minimize leakage. We also perform pressure and leakage testing to evaluate the state of your cylinder sealing. By utilizing a buffered actuator design and optimizing the main packing dimensions and configuration, we provide additional possibilities for achieving emission reductions.

To help you manage emissions effectively, we offer emission management panels. These panels not only prevent gas leakages around the compressor, but also control the supply of inert gas for buffering or purging. They also allow you to monitor the flow of leak gas, serving as a direct indication of the pressure packing condition.

With our comprehensive engineering services, we aim to provide holistic solutions to optimize the performance and efficiency of your compressor systems.
