FPSO gas compressor pulsation
analysis to API 618 (5th Edition).
Client: Designer of storage and equipment for oil industry.
Tough Problem: Detailed pulsation analysis of a six stage compressor system located on FPSO.
Study required performance of pressure pulsation analysis, acoustic analysis and a shaking force and vibration analysis conforming to API 618 (5th Edition) standards.
These forces were to be used as inputs to further dynamic analysis.
Practical Solution: Study completed ontime and onbudget with recommended design changes to reduce forces and vibration in the system.
Bottom Line: SVT expertise reduces cost and risk for compressor package supplier.
