Technology and quality<br />

ABC COMPRESSORS adapts its solutions to all the requirements, collaborating with<br />

and advising for final customers and engineering departments on the configuration of<br />

the equipment.<br />

The manufacturing is done in accordance with the strictest quality control standards to<br />

guarantee the reliability of the compressors, controlling each part and ensuring that the<br />

unit operates perfectly before delivering it to the customer.<br />

Therefore, the following product tests are carried out:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Dimensional controls.<br />

Non-destructive testing (ultra-sound, liquid penetrant, weld radiography,<br />

hardness control…)<br />

Unit-by-unit testing of control equipment.<br />

In line with the objective of testing the complete compressor units before supply, ABC<br />

COMPRESSORS' engineering department designs all the solutions on a frame chassis<br />

with all the peripherals interconnected at the factory.<br />

To sum up, quality reflects the organization where everybody works in accordance with<br />

the same procedures, processes and work systems, becoming the responsibility and<br />

commitment the key features of ABC COMPRESSORS.<br />

Project management<br />

Project Managers lead a team of mechanical and electronic experts, as well as<br />

applications engineers from ABC, throughout the whole process: from the design to<br />

start up. Advanced engineering (Solidedge, AutoCAD, finite element analysis) and<br />

management tools (integrated ERP) are used. The sales team, together with the Project<br />

Manager, work closely with both the technical staff from the client and the engineering<br />

companies, with the following targets:<br />

Analysis and study of the customer requirements<br />

Configuration of compressor and auxiliary equipment<br />

Definition of the electric and control diagrams<br />

After this detailed engineering step, the main documents (compressor assembly and<br />

foundation drawings, P&ID, electrical diagrams, instrumentation lists, etc.) are ready to<br />

be reviewed, if necessary, by the client or engineering contractor, and then, launched<br />

into production.<br />

The quality begins with each piece and finishes with the guarantee of operation, by<br />

testing the whole compressor set. That’s why all ABC production and assembly<br />

facilities are fitted with one test installation, with more than 1.000m². Here, the<br />

operation and performance parameters of the machine are tested under real conditions<br />

based on customers’ requirements.<br />
