Even in toughest conditions<br />

Economic <strong>speed</strong> control upstream<br />

No matter how tough your requirements are: hot, cold, dust, environments<br />

with explosion hazards – <strong>Voith</strong> offers an economical <strong>and</strong> at <strong>the</strong><br />

same time reliable solution <strong>for</strong> every application.<br />

Compressor drive unit on <strong>oil</strong> plat<strong>for</strong>m<br />

Nam, North Sea, Vorecon type RWE,<br />

Power 4 573 kW,<br />

Speed 13 211 rpm<br />

Gas lift compressors <strong>and</strong> injection pumps<br />

Geared variable-<strong>speed</strong> couplings <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Vorecon are used <strong>for</strong> <strong>speed</strong> controlling pumps<br />

<strong>and</strong> compressors in <strong>oil</strong> or <strong>gas</strong> production<br />

facilities. If <strong>the</strong> natural pressure of <strong>the</strong> field is no<br />

longer sufficient, water or <strong>gas</strong> is pumped into <strong>the</strong><br />

producing <strong>for</strong>mations at high pressures. As a<br />

result, remaining <strong>oil</strong> or <strong>gas</strong> is pushed to <strong>the</strong><br />

surface. <strong>Voith</strong> <strong>drives</strong> provide a stepless control of<br />

<strong>the</strong> required injection flow <strong>and</strong> pressure.<br />

Gas lift compressor, Oman, Geared<br />

variable <strong>speed</strong> coupling type R 19 KGS,<br />

Power 7 880 kW,<br />

Speed 9 571 rpm<br />

Gas pipeline compressor, Thail<strong>and</strong><br />

Vorecon type RWE,<br />

Power 9 955 kW,<br />

Speed 9 053 rpm<br />

Pipeline pumps<br />

In pipelines, pump stations overcome pressure<br />

losses, differences in altitude <strong>and</strong> transportation<br />

of multiple products. <strong>Variable</strong>-<strong>speed</strong> turbo couplings<br />

provide stepless control resulting in energy<br />

savings, higher service lives of motor <strong>and</strong> pump,<br />

torsional vibration damping <strong>and</strong> a more economical<br />

operation.<br />
