Parker Hannifin powering up data center mega development
Parker Hannifin has secured a major contract to supply key equipment for nearly 30 aeroderivative gas turbines powering a new hyperscale data center in Texas (U.S.).
After 30 years, I am still betting on solid-rotor motors for critical high-speed applications
Solid-rotor technology can be considered to have quietly faded into obscurity—the reality is quite the opposite. Its best days may still lie ahead, especially for demanding high-speed industrial processes. The 'underdog' motor. When I first jumped into the world of power electronics and motor tec..
Digital Exclusive: Turbomachinery: The backbone of cryogenic gas processing
This article shows how turboexpander-compressors became the backbone of cryogenic processing, and how they are directly linked to a plant’s efficiency and reliability. It explores the design and flexibility of modern expander-compressor machines.
Enhance rotating equipment reliability: Implementing a bad actor program in the oil and gas industry
Bad actor programs play a critical role in enhancing equipment reliability and optimizing maintenance costs within industrial plants. This article explores the implementation of such a program at Saudi Aramco’s Yanbu natural gas liquids Fractionation Department, focusing on rotating equipment such as pumps, compressors, turbines and motors.
Digital Exclusive: The future of gas turbines in the green revolution
With the rise of renewables wreaking dramatic changes to gas turbine operational modes, there is now an increased focus on minimizing operational costs. Gas turbines may be here to stay, but filter systems must remain relevant and efficient, as well. While today’s gas turbines run almost exclusively on fossil fuels like natural gas, it would be a misconception to consider them obsolete technology. Not only are gas turbines extremely efficient, but they possess qualities that are not just desirable but will remain essential even in a future energy system completely separated from the carbon-emitting fuels that presently dominate it.
