Allardyce Bower Consulting Inc. (ABC) on behalf of Black Swan Energy Ltd. retained NEXT Compression to supply one (1) propane refrigeration package for their gas plant in NE British Columbia. The condenser and evaporator were outside our scope of supply.
Design Considerations
Modularized package design
Evaporator temperature of -40°F
Condensing temperature of 110°F
Final Product
The three (3) compressor train system was designed to be broken apart for easy shipment. Each compressor and lube oil system was housed on its own skid, engineered as nearly identical to facilitate initial package construction and field operations. A fourth skid was equipped with the common economizer and suction scrubber vessels. Upon arriving at site, these four skids and the common header lines will be bolted together, and outfitted with a building featuring roll up doors for easy access to each compressor skid. The package will be commissioned by NEXT Compression.
Photos below were taken after initial break up, to demonstrate the modularized nature of this project. Temporary support beams are installed for the header pipes, the crane has been removed, and shrink wrap is in the process of being applied.
