Technical Tuesday: Oil Flush

An oil flush is like a low cholesterol diet for your engine—but are they worth it? The great thing about an oil flush is that it breaks loose debris and contamination in your engine. The worst thing about an oil flush is that it breaks loose debris and contamination in your engine. And that can be risky if your filters don’t catch the debris. So when is the reward greater than the risk? And how should it be done? We can answer those questions for you.

Technical Tuesday: Pigging and Cleaning

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.

EGCR is Rescheduled to September 14-16, 2021

As a direct result of the on-going coronavirus pandemic, and after the most serious consideration of current updates on the availability of the vaccine and company travel restrictions, the Executive Committee of the EGCR has made the decision to move the EGCR from May 4-6, 2021 to September 14-16, 2021. We will be at the David Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh and all elements of the event (exhibit hall; keynote; classes; Welcome Reception; Tuesday evening reception, golf tournament, etc.) will remain the same.

We realize that some of you have already begun planning for the May event and wanted to be sure to give you ample time to adjust your planning to join us in September. Our previous policy of registration fee roll-over remains in effect. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
