MOPICO® - MAN Diesel & Turbo

Compressor casinghaving no effect on the local environ-ment with respect to pollutiveemissions.1Contact-free magnetic bearings, togetherwith the elimination of couplings,gears and shaft seals toatmosphere result in a largely wearandmaintenance-free system.System conceptThe MOPICO ® is an integrated, engineeredsystem comprising of the motorcompressor unit, the variable frequencydrive and the unit/station control system.By means of a dedicated pipe/valve system, the two compressionstages can be connected either in seriesand/or in parallel with changeoverfrom one mode to the other.Control and safety systemsThe control system performs unit andoverall station control functions, suchas valve sequencing and surge control.The system connects with the SCADApipeline system for remote operationand monitoring. Key process data aretrended and recorded and can becalled up remotely through a standardcomputer link.231 Booster station withthree MOPICO ® unitsHigh-speed electric motor2 One of the three identicalMOPICO ® unitsStation designThe compactness and low weight of theMOPICO ® allow for simple and costeffectiveinstallations in functionalindustrial buildings. The use of magneticbearings virtually eliminates thetransmission of vibrations from the unit,resulting in substantially reduced foun-dation costs. Thanks to the magnetic bearings andthe thickness of the high-pressure motor casing, theMOPICO ® noise emission levels are extremely low. Formost applications, no additional noise attenuation isrequired.3 MOPICO ® in seriesoperation modeMOPICO ® compact compression system for gas transport2
