Controlling Your Capacity:<br />

Our IGV and DGV Options<br />

Our turbocompressors are designed to be an integral part of your process<br />

and your plant as a whole. To maximize their effectiveness, they can<br />

be equipped with different capacity-control options, which can adapt<br />

to changing process conditions such as discharge pressure and volume.<br />

Our control options include inlet-guide vanes (IGV),<br />

diffuser-guide vanes (DGV), and combined IGV and DGV<br />

configurations, as well as a speed-control capability<br />

using steam turbines or VFD.<br />
