EMERSON is dedicated to delivering new gas compression solutions with the Vilter single screw and Copeland Scroll technologies.
With compression technologies developed specifically for gas processing, emission reduction, biogas, LNG and CNG, and production applications, Emerson has the engineering know-how to develop the right component equipment that significantly contributes to safe and efficient operations.
Vilter single screw gas compressors deliver longer life, higher reliability and better energy efficiency than twin screw compressors and have fewer moving parts than reciprocating compressors.
The key to the single screw compressor’s reliability is in its balanced design, resulting in ultra-low bearing loads for extremely long life, as well as significantly decreased vibration and sound levels. The key to the single screw compressor’s high energy efficiency is Vilter’s exclusive Parallex slide system allowing the compressor to run at optimum efficiency through its full range of capacity.
This dual slide arrangement offers the highest level of flexibility and performance optimisation for screw compressors. The Vilter single screw compressor is available for high pressure applications with discharge pressures up to 900 psig and differential pressures up to 550 psid.
Vilter’s single screw compressors are also available with ceramic bearings for sour gas and corrosive gas applications.
Copeland Scroll modular compression is an exceptionally low maintenance, compact, rugged and a breakthrough approach to oil field gas compression.
The scroll module comes equipped with many highly qualified features typically found only on larger oil field compression packages. Packaged flow rates are 15-600 mcfd, 70-345 psig single stage discharge pressure, and vacuum to 25 psig suction. The compressor module is designed for assembly into a package ready for service in the field.
The Copeland scroll modules can be used for various applications which include – wellhead casing pressure reduction, vapour gas recovery, coal bed methane, and flare reduction applications. These have been in application for the last few years in US and Canadian oil fields with tremendous success. Trials have been carried out in Kuwait resulting in significant production increase.
This solution for the small horsepower compression application is unique for the region and has the potential to improve the production efficiencies drastically while addressing environmental issues on venting and flaring.
The Middle East and Africa region are an extremely important market for Emerson in view of the tremendous potential for utilising the Emerson Gas Compression equipment.
This is coupled with the fact that customers in this region are open to new technologies which result in substantial benefits in terms of safety, reliability and efficiency. Vilter single screw and Copeland Scroll compressors are fast making an impact in the region with new installations as customers adopt technology that helps reduce operating and maintenance costs while increasing oil and gas production rates.
Vilter single screw compressors and the Copeland scrolls are backed by the corporate strength of Emerson, the global technology and solutions leader that brings technology and engineering together to create innovative solutions for the benefit of its customers.
