The idea of using turbines driving large reciprocating compressors dates back to over 25 years ago. This was the case of some machines for ammonia synthesis plants and urea synthesis plants where the main reason for selection of such a driver, in addition to flexiblity, was the possibility of utilizing the steam produced in the process, thus greatly increasing the total efficiency of the plant. The flexibility of reciprocating compresors combined with the utilization of variable speed drives like gas turbines optimizes operating and capital investment costs in natural gas services. Reliability and respect for limits specified in polution control regulations are the most significant requirements related to modern compression stations. Equipped with monitoring systems, the trains must benefit by special design procedures and modern full-load test facilities to ensure the complete confidence of users. The above feature, together with energy saving advantages, make it possible to forecast the increasing application of compressor - turbine arrangements.
