Global Investments For More Flexibility - Neuman & Esser

Global
Investments
For More Flexibility
With capital intensive investments made into
mechanical precision machines, measurement
equipment and buildings the NEA GROUP has
taken up the challenges set by the customer
requirements for shorter delivery times despite
the increased demands for their high performance
products. Taking the machine factory at
Übach-Palenberg in Germany as an example
and the fabrication shop in Rayong, Thailand,
the logistical strengths are displayed, which are
the results made from global long term investments.
For years now it has been unmistakable, that
with the increased contract volume for compressors
and grinding plants with appreciably more
material volumes must be processed within the
production process. A key factor for coming to

"What will the future bring?"
The prognoses have changed since the middle of this
year for the world's economy. The growth prognoses
have been retracted since September of this year due
to the financial crisis. The initial indicators for a recession
can be clearly seen today.
The view into the future still however looks to be positive
for the NEA GROUP. Due to the world-wide decentralized
organisation structure and cross-linking of the
sales and marketing activities it has been possible in
the current business year, to obtain contracts, whose
delivery suffices until the middle of 2010. In total a contractual
intake could be booked, which far exceeds the
turnover of the previous year.
Two years ago we had even recognized that the factor
of delivery deadlines was becoming more and more a
focal point for the customer. We came to the decision
at an early enough point in time to replace existing
lathes and manufacturing centers through modern and
efficient machines. This ensures that the manufacturing
processes could be tightened up, whilst still retaining
the quality and the output from the German
production companies which could be appreciably
increased.
Irrespective of this we will keep our ears to the ground
concerning the world-wide economic situation. We will
not allow our optimism
and belief in our market
to be stolen through
the partially negative
oversubscribed position
through the media.

EDITORIAL
In this publication we will
deal with in detail not
only the investments in
our machine park in
Germany but also the
expansion of our location
in Thailand. That is
also only the beginning
of our investments,
which we have planned
for our local locations.

terms with this material increase is the expansion and
optimization of the company internal logistics. Especially
the huge number of large and heavy castings gives an
increase in spatial area requirements. Through the
reconstruction of an existing storage hall and the construction
of a further hall, approximately 1,600 m 2 floor
storage space has been created so that we NEA meet
with this requirement. The production area for the mechanical
production has also experienced a noticeable
increase through the expansion by a further 800 m 2 .
Alongside the reconstruction and new construction of
production and storage areas, NEA must also consider
here the shortening of manufacturing times as well as
the implementation of the complete processing of key
components in its own factory. Already in the previous
year, with this as a background, two investment decisions
were agreed. Hereby NEA is dealing with the procurement
of a new processing center from the company
Starrag Heckert as well as a crankshaft grinding
machine. The new processing center will be utilized for
the manufacture of cylinders and the intermediate storage
for component parts. Initial experiences at the
machine factory in Wurzen, Germany, shows that manufacturing
times have been appreciably shortened
when compared with other machines. Crankshafts
with a total length of up to 6 meters can be ground on

the crankshaft grinding machine. An important core
component of the machine can therefore, in connection
with the turning/grinding center, be completely manufactured
here in house. Both machines are currently
being assembled in the mechanical manufacturing
department, so that processing can be started up in all
probability at the end of this year.
Oct. 23 rd , 2008 recorded the most interesting chapter in
the history of the machine factory as Alexander Peters,
Managing Partner, and Dr. Norbert Hennes from Droop
The production facility has doubled in workshop space
with the opening of the new fabrication shop in the first
quarter of 2008. This has permitted segregation of the
welding from the assembly process, which now takes
place exclusively in the original workshop facility. The
increased workshop area has been supplemented by a
large lay-down area outside and to the front of both
shops, which facilitates material handling and will be
used for the construction of the two very large off-shore
packages for our Middle East customer. Overall, this
production space expansion has more than tripled the
packaging capacity of NEA South East Asia.
For the aftermarket, NEA South East Asia has, since its
inception, encouraged customers to establish long term
service agreements with our after-market department.
As part of these agreements,
specific customer
spares are
held at the NEA
+ Rein signed a contract for purchase of approximately
5 million EUR for a portal grinding machine - without
doubt, to date, the largest investment decision, which
had been taken in the house of NEA for a tooling machine.
This machine, which will replace the "Heavycut", has
a table capacity of 40 gross tons and can with that,
without any problem process crankcases with a construction
size of up to SL500. Furthermore this machine offers
appreciably shortened processing times in comparison to
Heavycut.
Asia booms. NEA also invests in Thailand.
South East Asia warehouse facility for fast dispatch to
the customer as required. Typically, these spare parts
are held at no extra charge until required, at which time
the customer is charged for restock of the items. This
arrangement has proven advantageous for both the
customer in terms of quicker access to spare parts
without major capital investment, but also logistically to
NEA South East Asia for service department manpower
planning.
Also from its establishment, NEA South East Asia has
provided compressor valve overhaul facilities to its
customers. These facilities are now being updated with
state-of-the-art repair, testing and packaging systems.
NEA South East Asia customers will now be able to take
advantage of very fast, guaranteed valve repairs and
immediate access to valve repair kits. The facility is
being set up with dedicated workshop and storage
areas, and will be staffed by technicians trained at our
European valve supplier. Each overhaul valve will be
tested and issued with its own certified test certificate
and of course NEA's guarantee of quality.

COMPANY PROFILE
HERE TO STAY
NEUMAN & ESSER GROUP
in USA

In 1992 NEUMAN & ESSER
founded NEUMAN & ESSER USA, Inc. in Houston,
Texas, to better cater to the North American, Central
American and Caribbean markets. NEA USA is
responsible for new compressor sales, modernization
and all associated engineering. Its sister company,
NEAC Compressor Service USA, Inc.,
which was incorporated in 1992 in Franklin, PA, as
a joint venture with Atlas Copco for maintaining
Chicago Pneumatic compressors, is in charge of all
aftermarket related activities e.g. parts, service,
start-up, commissioning, overhauls and repairs.
Both companies are members of the German based
NEUMAN & ESSER founded in 1830, one of the
world leading OEMs for lubricated and non-lubricated
vertical, V-type and horizontal API 618 compressors
in a range of 20 to 40,000 hp and 1 to 8 throws.
Right from the beginning the decision to combine a
"Made in Germany" compressor with "Made in the USA"
auxiliary equipment, engineering and aftermarket support
proved to be very successful. Their customer base
includes refineries, chemical & petrochemical plants,
the food and beverage industry, and to a large extent,
specialty reciprocating compressor applications.
In April 2008 NEA USA, Inc. and NEAC Compressor
Service USA, Inc. took another major step by constructing
their own fit-to-suit new facility in Katy, Texas. This
facility consists of a two-story 16,000 SF (1,500 m 2 )
office building which accommodates Sales, Engineering,
CAD, Purchasing, Service & Parts, a Training
Center, as well as the administration of both companies.
The attached 20,000 SF (1,800 m 2 ) warehouse/workshop
(equipped with a 20 ton crane) allows for the
storage of critical wear and capital spare parts and also
for compressor repairs. Like the previously inaugurated
new facility of NEA América do Sul in Belo Horizonte,
Brazil, the new NEA USA building will also allow for
future growth. It provides better and faster US based
support for the significantly growing fleet of compressors
and guarantees a higher degree of customer satisfaction
for all the NEA owned compressor brands e.g.
Chicago Pneumatic, Linde, KSB, Borsig, Demag to
name the major ones for this market.
The inauguration of the new facility will be celebrated
with a Customer Compressor Day on Dec. 3 rd , 2008
presenting news and recent technical developments in
reciprocating compressors combined with discussion
groups and hands-on compressor experiences.

LATEST NEWS ON NEA GROUP
NEAC on an Investigative
Mission in Chad
In Chad, six NEA compressors of
size 63 and 130 are processing
carrier gas from their own oil
resources which is used in their
own power production plant. After
five years of operation, a piston
damage in one of its machines
made NEA suddenly aware of communication
problems. Harry
Lankenau and Timo Kitschen
travelled to the customer, one of the
world's leading oil and gas producers,
in order to get an idea on the
spot picture of the problem. It was
quickly clear that the factory required
commercial as well as technological
support. While Harry
Lankenau interviewed the technicians,
Timo Kitschen dealt with the
purchasing and materials dispatchers
and took a stock inventory of
spare parts for input in their SAP
system.
Shortly after their return, they received
a tremendous series of
orders: a package valued at around
half a million EUR, which contains
an extensive root cause analysis,
spare parts, an overhaul of two
machines as well as on site training
for 10 technicians. After completing
their training in January 2009, three
of the customers' technicians will
have the chance to put their theoretical
training into practice on each
of the overhauled machines.
Follow-up Contract for
Compressor System at the
Largest Underground Field
in Europe
Now that the final NEA compressor
from three machines has been successfully
taken into operations
since October this year for filling of
natural gas into the third storage
cavern with 230 bar discharge
pressure at the cavern field of Epe,
the German energy supplier surprised
NEA Deutschland in
November of this year with a followup
contract.
In cooperation with this gas supplier
an innovative compressor
system concept for the second construction
stage of the gas storage
cavern has been prepared. Whilst
the first cavern facilitates over a
working gas volume of approximately
130 million m³ of natural gas
and approximately 150,000 m³
natural gas per hour feeding and up
to 300,000 m³ per hour flushing, the
total for the second cavern is to be
increased in total to a working gas
volume with 240 million m³.
The advantage of the new compressor
is that close to 80% of its
wear parts are identical with those
of the currently utilized machines,
even though the volume flow has
been increased by 50%. From this
the construction of a 320-scale sixcrank
compressor with 500 kN rod
load was created. The economic
complete concept was also hereby
taken into consideration in the
energy production as well as in the
optimal design for the compressor
drive.
NEA Italia on the
Overtaking Lane
In addition to the positive results of
NEA Italia in 2008, one of the most
interesting orders has been placed
by an important company, which
operates as the EPC contractor in
the Middle East, with its center in
Sharjah (UAE) for a GTP, Gas
Treatment Plant, at Jihar.
The scope of supply includes two
recycle compressors of size 320,
three gas compressors of size 500
and three more ones of size 30 for
auxiliary gas services and spare
parts.
Due to the structure of this EPC
contractor, the engineering portion
of this project will be very detailed,
requiring intensive effort on the part
of the technical department of NEA
Italia.
NEA's Biggest Hydrogen
Compressors for Petrobras
Petrobras, in accordance with its
modernization and expansion plans
for its refining activities, is promoting
the implementation of the
Abreu e Lima Refinery which has
two Diesel HDT (hydro-treatment)
units. The bid for the engineering
and construction of the new units
was performed amongst Petrobras'
Engineering Dept, while the main
equipment was directly acquired by
the Materials Dept.
Within this context, in March 2008
Petrobras' Materials sector issued
an international invitation, giving
birth to the process of acquisition
and later receipt and analysis of the
proposals for compressors to
operate at this plant.
As soon as the technical analysis
and commercial discussion stages
were concluded, on Aug. 1st , 2008
NEA América do Sul received the
authorization for supplying the
compressors.

The furnishing refers to six NEA
compressors of size 500 designed
according to the requirements of
API618 as well as to Petrobras'
Standards and specific requirements
laid down for this application.
After field assembly, each compressor
unit will occupy an area of
approximately 300 m 2 (25 x 12 m),
with an approximate weight of 100
tons each.
The
scope
of supply also
comprises of all
auxiliary and peripheral units, such
as electrical motors and the respective
excitation panels, crankcase
lube oil units, cylinder water cooling
units, inlet strainers, condensate
separators, pulsation suppressors,
gas coolers, continuous capacity
control safety valves, retention valves,
command and control panels
and instrumentation according to
Petrobras' requirements, comprising
of dedicated PLC's and redundant
CPU's as well as mechanical
and electric interconnections and
their auxiliary units.
Petrobras´ decision once again
reinforces the already renowned
technical capacity and commercial
competitiveness of NEA América
do Sul, these being the largest
compressors ever supplied by a
national supplier.
Biggest Six-Crank 500
Frame Installation
in Asia
Back in 2006, NEA South East Asia
was delighted to be able to announce
the sale
of the biggest six
crank 500 frame
in the territory.
Following shipment
at the beginning
of this year
from the manufacturing
works in
Germany, the compressor
is now
being installed along
with all ancillary
equipment at
a customer's site
in Taiwan. The
installation of this
huge machine
has involved expertise
from both
the machine factory
and from within
the NEA
South East Asia organization. The
site team is headed up by Ken
Gould who, with over 35 years'
experience in reciprocating
machinery, has been
resident at the
customer's
site
for a total of over 10 weeks. With
less than four weeks to go to
mechanical completion, activity at
the site is reaching a peak and will
soon enter a new phase of precommissioning
and commissioning. As
the pictures below show, nearly all
of the large equipment and pipework
is in place and the team is
working hard towards a successful
start-up before the end of the year.

Rock Phosphate for a Better Result
The steady growth in the world population and the
increasing use of agricultural land for renewable raw
materials for fuel and energy generation requires increasing
harvest volumes. However as the available
space is limited in terms of expansion, higher yields are
needed, which will lead to an increasing consumption of
mineral fertilizers.
This prompted our customer in Egypt to invest in the
expansion of existing phosphate production. NEA
received the contract for manufacture and delivery of
three PM30 Pendulum Mills for the grinding of rock
phosphate. The PM30 Pendulum Mill is currently the
largest of the machines built by the NEA. This was in
many ways a highlight. It was not just the single biggest
contract in the history of NEA Mahl- und Sichtsysteme.
Rather, the number of PM30s was abruptly doubled,
and the position and competence of NEA as large-scale
manufacturer was expanded. The customer's request
that the entire manufacturing area be kept dust-free
meant a special challenge, and required an increased
level in the use of measuring and monitoring equipment
as well as an intelligent control and regulating concept.
Following commissioning in 2009, these plants will be
counted among the most advanced raw phosphate
grinding systems in the world.
Evidently convinced by NEA's competence, NEA has
recently received, from the same customer, new contracts
to upgrade two of
the existing PM20 Pendulum
Mills built in 1988
according to the
above-mentioned
concept.

DID YOU ALREADY KNOW?
Ground stock + air
SHARP
CUT SIZE
WITH PATENT
The development of new product qualities is connected
with process development and optimization. The technical
process for air classification has won greatly in
influence over the previous years.
The technology for air
classification was even
practiced by the ancient
Egyptians, when by
means of the wind "the
wheat was separated
from the chaff". With air
classification solid is
screened according to its
particle size, to be exact
due to their different settling
velocities in the air
flow. Thereby the particle
size distribution of the product
is varied, which has a
substantial influence on
the product characteristics.
It is possible thereby
to influence amongst
others for example the
color, the surface gloss,
the flavour or the flowability
of bulk goods.
Nowadays the classification of solids with sizes of
10 µm down to a few micrometres is considered to be
the state of the art. Classifier wheels are utilized for this
purpose. The core unit of the classifier wheel is the
rotor which has baffles inside and can run up to
100 m/s, meaning 360 km/h.
Classification technology also plays an important role at
NEA, which is reflected by the classification development
that has taken place over the previous years. The
development step from static to dynamic classification,
the impeller wheel classifier, brought advantages with
reference to product fineness and the possible solid
throughput.

The cyclone classifier is utilized at NEA-plants for classification
within the finest range. Optimization of the
product feed and the classifier wheel geometry led to
the cyclone classifiers of generation II.
The cyclone classifier of generation III has just been
developed. This air classifier generation will, as with all
NEA-cyclone classifiers, be operated as an inline-air
classifier combined with the plant components classifier
mill, cyclone and filter. The special feature for generation
III is the increase in efficiency or the sharpness of
classification, which facilitates for a strong reduction of
fine material in the 10 µm-particle size range whilst
retaining the same product yield. The efficiency is
especially reflected when considering the low material
loss. This grading led to a lowering of material loss of
up to 8%, which means with a middle production total of
500 kg/h a minimum cost saving of at least 16,000 EUR
monthly.
The innovation has been evaluated by the European
patent Authorities as so important that NEA was granted
the patent for the cyclone classifier generation III on
June 30th , 2008.
MEDIA ROOM
"We talk recips" at the Turbo Show 2008
With this message Manfred Salgert and Brian
Bertelsen, both Presidents of NEUMAN & ESSER
GROUP in USA, signalled the trade fair visitors that this
is the specialist language,
which they speak as well
as their own mother
tongue.
The exhibit, a horizontal
two-crank compressor of
size 130 with open viewing
positions proved to
be the attraction magnet
on the fair stand. Both
20-scale and 500-scale
connecting rods - displayed
as a mirror image for
the production band width
- amazed many people.
Despite hurricane Ike,
which caused the trade
fair to close a day early,
the Texan colleagues
were extremely happy
about the multitude of
discussions that took
place concerning new
projects. The sales engineers
of NEA USA are
really excited about their
"Compressor Day" on
Dec. 3rd, 2008, which will
offer a good opportunity
of more in depth discussions concerning the project
contents at their new company premises in Katy, TX.
“Sharp” Appearance at the POWTECH 2008
The company NEA Grinding and Classifying Systems
presented themselves with a new and attractive trade
fair stand layout. With the motto "Sharp classification"
there were not only spicy chilli's to offer but also the
newest developments from the NEA classifying technology.
The inside rotor of the pendulum roller mill PM12U5
was amongst the main attractions at the trade fair and
drew the interest of a multitude of visitors. Especially
large interest arose from the improved pendulum
design, which is designed for a far quicker exchange of
the grinding roll. This ensures highly reduced standstill
and maintenance times. The large number of contacts
made also brought a high number of promising new
projects. A contract for the new ICM 76/96 as well as
for the conversion of pendulums to the new grinding roll
mountings was the crowning of the success for the
trade fair appearance.

CORPORATE CULTURE
NEA's Engineers' Meeting
The annual NEA Engineers' Meeting was again this
year, with its comprehensive agenda a great success.
The first days were completely utilized for covering the
future plant development. Special attention was thereby
paid to the monitoring of current projects from a technical
as well as commercial point of view.
Following the presentation by all Sales & Application
Centers participants concerning their systems for contract
monitoring Central Division of Technolgoy and
STASSKOL presented a report concerning the core
points of their newest research.
The day's excursion to the major gas supplier Trianel in
Epe, Germany, helped in the jump from theory over to
the practical side of things, so that the four-crank NEAcompressors
installed for the storage of natural gas at
Europe's largest cavern field could be experienced
"live". However the question remained following the event
as to how this program could be "topped" next year.
Global NEAC Sales Meeting
STASSKOL GmbH, the sealing elements subsidiary
based in Stassfurt, Germany, hosted the annual meeting
from Oct. 12-14, 2008. The 25-member team with
representatives from global NEAC service organizations
anticipated a wide-ranging conference program.
The success of the meeting can be seen in the numerous
resolutions reached by collective agreement. They
contain important new sales strategies as well as improvements
in how the company should be run at the
customer interface for internal transactions. Participants
found the deep insights into production as well as
Managing Director Thomas Borchardt's presentations
on the portfolio of the packings and rings especially
interesting. The highlight of the event was without a
doubt the remarks by Dr. Marc Langela, Head of R&D,
concerning new material developments with hands-on
exhibitions and demonstrations on the test bed and on
the oscillating tribometer.
QM Workshop 5 Presents the Crossing
Points for the Certification Process
The QMRs from Germany, Italy, Thailand, Brazil and the
USA arrived to participate in the Workshop 5 for quality
management representatives (QMR), which took place
from the 1 st to the 2 nd Oct. 2008 in the Training Center
of the NEAC in Übach-Palenberg, Germany. Johannes
Henßen, the QMR from the NEA GROUP managed the
multitude of subjects.
The intensive training of all participants was the core
point for this workshop leading up to the revision for the
ISO 9001:2008, according to which the NEA GROUP is
to be re-certified in October 2009. An important goal for
Mr. Henßen was to promote the exchange of experiences
between the participants, which would help to lead
to a continuous improvement.
New inputs encompassed
the action plan
12 at the end of the
workshop, which must
be processed before
the next workshop.
That means that all
participants must "roll
up their sleeves" and
immediately start with
its implementation.

Hearty Barbeque Parties in the East and West
Even With The Weather Cloudy The
Wurzener Still Enjoy The Party
On Aug. 28 th , 2008 Alexander Peters invited in the
name of the management all employees of the Wurzen
and Stassfurt locations to a summer festival in Wurzen.
Included in the list of guests of honour were the new
Lord Mayor Jörg Röglin, from the town of Wurzen as
well as the urban development department supervisor
Carl Rößler.
In a storage hall that had been beautifully decorated as
party venue the works council chairperson in Wurzen
Frank Perner, opened the barbeque party. Mr. Peters
utilized the opportunity of welcoming the new apprentices,
15 in Wurzen and 2 in Stassfurt into the NEA family.
He mentioned the forthcoming demanding assign-
ments for completion before the end of the current year
and encouraged all to firmly participate in the fulfilment
of the years goals.
The rich barbeque buffet and the thirst quenching beer
encouraged lengthy discussions whilst the lively music
encouraged many onto the dance floor. The workforces
from Wurzen and Stassfurt would like to thank the
Peters family for a very successful barbeque festival.
Not Only Pegasus Inspired the Party in
Übach-Palenberg
On Aug. 14th , 2008 the personnel followed the invitation
made by the family Peters to a fantastic barbeque party
at the company premises. Hours of unbelievably good
entertainment was supplied by the Country Band "Miss
Behavin" from Texas. Everybody's taste buds were thoroughly
spoilt with tasty barbeque titbits, salads and
well flavoured beer from the barrel.
Alexander Peters started everything off with a short
speech, in which he informed everybody about the positive
orders situation for the NEA GROUP worldwide.
Stefanie Peters then used the opportunity of explaining
to the personnel the background behind the Pegasus
fountain constructed in the inside courtyard of the wing
from the new building. The idea was to
erect a sculpture, made up from compressor
parts as well as a figure of Pegasus,
too give any visitors a direct reference
from an object d'art to the company.
The well know artist from Aachen -
Bonfatius Stirnberg - initially created
this idea in a model with a scale of
1:10, prior to his creating the "NEA
Pegasus fountain" in the form of
columns.
The question is why the flying horse?
Pegasus has been an artistic symbol
ever since the 17th century for
Dynamic and Fantasy and today
represents the modern concept
"Innovation". In mythology Pegasus
served the populous. He was
ridden by heroes, threw those of
them who became too cocky off
to perish. With this as the characteristic
Pegasus symbolically
embodies the philosophy
of Neuman & Esser as a
successful and innovative
industrial company,
which plans
for the future
with great
prudence.

Apprentices on Tour:
Concerning Seams and Aircrafts
On Sep. 18th 2008 this years' training
journey with a bowling evening
in Alsdorf, Germany was begun.
The apprentices from Wurzen,
Staßfurt and Übach-Palenberg in
Germany used the opportunity of
getting to know themselves better.
On Friday morning two coaches
started out towards Garzweiler, to
visit the brown coal open pit mine.
Two moderators were there to
explain the excavation of the brown
coal and the history of the origins of
the open mine pits Garzweiler I and
II. Included in this program was
also a journey over the premises so
that the extraction of the brown coal
could be observed close up. Of
especial interest was the information
concerning the resettlement of
the affected residents and the recultivation
of the environmental
landscape.
The next highlight of the day was
the visit to the Düsseldorf airport,
where insights into the coordination
of the airport operations could be
had. During a coach trip over the
premises the newest constructional
plans and the assembly of aircrafts
could be marvelled at.
Finally the journey arrived at the
night time quarters in Oberkassel.
Following a tasty meal in the
brewery well known hits were sung
under the accompaniment on the
guitar.
Outdoors with the
NEAndertalers
After getting knocked out in the preliminary
round in the first tournament
of the season, the Zerspaner-Cup,
hosted by Fohn, the
NEAndertalers reached the quarterfinal
at the tournament held by
Swagelok. Ismail Ay's leading goal,
which came after seven seconds of
game time in the opening match,
remains the most memorable event
of the tournament.
The German Cup usually hosted by
Germania Dürwiss didn't take place
this year, so last year's title could
not be defended.
In the last tournament of the year,
the Gyros Cup in Aldenhoven, the
NEA-team concluded the preliminaries
as the winners. The NEAndertalers
fought until the final, taking
