MSG® 12/14/16 Centrifugal Air & Gas Compressor

MSG compressors are custom designed and built for individual customer needs for a variety of applications. Our MSG style compressors are manufactured with a highly engineered air flow components, designed for easy, low-cost installation and operation.

Features

MSG® Integrally Geared Centrifugal Compressors

MSG (multi-stage geared) compressors offer outstanding design flexibility. MSG compressors are application engineered with numerous available configurations:

  • Flows from 70 to 3800 m3/min (2500 to 135,000 CFM)
  • Input capacity to over 18,650 kW (25,000 hp)
  • Discharge pressures to 100 barg (1450 psig)

Features

Oil-Free Air and Gas

  • Prevents system contamination
  • Reduces the potential for compressed air pipeline fires caused by oil carryover
  • No costly waste disposal associated with oil-laden condensate
  • Eliminates the expense and maintenance of oil separation filters at the discharge

High Reliability

  • MSG centrifugal compressors are designed to be extremely
    reliable due to:
    • Conservative high-quality gear design
    • Long-life pinion bearing design
    • Thrust loads absorbed at low speed
    • Stainless steel compression elements

Low Compressor Operating Life Cycle Cost

MSG centrifugal compressors provide better overall operating efficiency than positive displacement or other centrifugal compressors.

  • Excellent efficiencies at full load, part load and no load
  • Low maintenance cost
  • Increased uptime from high-reliability design (limits the need for multiple unit installations for basic reliability reasons)
  • No sliding or rubbing parts in the compression process that can cause wear and thereby efficiency loss

Easy Operation/Maintenance

  • State-of-the-art MAESTRO control systems
  • Fully automated operation for any process conditions
  • Machine self-diagnostics
  • Compression elements do not wear or require periodic replacement
  • Accessible horizontally split gearbox for quick inspection
  • Removable intercooler and aftercooler bundles for easy cleaning

Simple Installation

  • Compressor, lubrication system, intercoolers, shaft coupling, coupling guard, interconnecting piping, etc. on a common base
  • Easy installation with no special foundation requirements
  • Easy component accessibility
  • Site connection point flexibility
  • Reduced floor space required
  • Dynamic compression process is pulsation-free, so installation of additional dampening equipment is not required.

Applications

Engineered Air Applications

  • Industrial gases
  • Instrument air
  • American Petroleum Institute (API) standards
  • Soot blowers
  • Large plant air
  • Power industry related

Gas Compressor Applications

  • Fuel gas boosting
  • Natural gas gathering
  • Hydrocarbon refrigeration gas
  • Carbon monoxide
  • CO2 (wet or dry)
  • SynGas
  • Low molecular weight recycle gas
  • High-pressure nitrogen
  • Landfill gas

MSG centrifugal compressors are exceptional by design.

  • One, two or three rotors, up to six stages per gearbox
  • Horizontal splitline(s) for easy access to parts

GAS FLOW ARRANGEMENT

MSG centrifugal compressors feature an advanced arrangement of gas flow components. Advantages of this arrangement include:

  • Directed gas movement to reduce turbulence induced friction
  • Air is cooled after every stage to provide high isothermal efficiency
