This little pigging went mud riding on the way home. Have you ever considered the impacts of conventional lubrication/over lubrication in your compressor cylinders? Compressor oil ends up in the pipeline, and then your company has to incur the expense of removal through pigging and cleaning. If you’re looking for a way to mitigate those expenses, there are multiple vendors that have mini or micro lube systems to reduce compressor oil use. Meet the vendors and talk to operational experts at the Eastern Gas Compression Roundtable on September 14-16, 2021 at the David Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh, PA.

There are many ways to reline a compressor cylinder, but this is definitely the coolest… The liner is manufactured to be interference fit with the compressor ID. To install, the liner is soaked in liquid nitrogen to shrink it enough to fit into the compressor cylinder. Once in place, the liner is held to prevent movement while it warms up. Once it is back to ambient temp, it will be there until someone cuts it out.

Want to know about the other installation methods? Plan to attend the Eastern Gas Compression Roundtable, May 4-6, 2021 at the David Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh, PA. See Event Information

Let’s talk starting air system safety. Do your Recips have safety systems to shut a unit down if the starting air valve is leaking? This crispy critter is all that remains of a Worthington ML-7 starting air valve that leaked. It literally turned into a blow torch, melted half the valve and torched a hole through the starting air header. At the EGCR, we talk about this system and so much more.

If your Rod Runouts are triggering flashbacks from algebra class, it may be time to look beyond a rider band replacement. Bad runouts can often be caused by improper torqueing and fretted/unparallel faces on the crank end of your compressor where it mates to the outboard end of the doghouse. This is more prevalent on some OEM models than others.
