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 />
