GE's Oil & Gas group has completed the testing of its new AN250 axial compressor. The new compressor offers a 20 per cent increase in capacity, the company reported during its Turbomachinery Symposium last month.
The first AN250 compressor will be installed for one of the two refrigerant compressor trains GE is supplying for BP Tangguh LNG Indonesia's project in the Papua Pr ovince of Indonesia. The plant will have an annual gas liquefaction capacity of at least seven million tons of LNG.
Designed to handle 220,000 m3/h, GE's AN200 compressor has been applied for several LNG lines that operate in the range of 3.8 million tons per year. The new machine has a design capacity of 249,000 m3/h and is capable of service in plants that operate in the range of 4.1 million tons per year.
The compressor is heavily instrumented with sensors to measure the machine's mechanical and thermodynamic characteristics.
