An integrated approach to optimizing midstream assets, Siemens launched Pipelines 4.0 to meet the evolving needs of North American midstream operators. The portfolio includes integrated packages, such as an electric-motor-driven (EMD) compressor pre-engineered for efficient installation and startup, thereby allowing operators to significantly reduce project lead times. Learn more at Booth 2724.

Additive manufacturing has the potential to become a new key technology, which is why Siemens has been investing in this innovative technology right from its inception, and is now driving the industrialization and commercialization of these processes.

With a maximum allowable rod load of 45,000 pounds (200 KN), a nominal rated horsepower of 1,700 – 4,440 (1,268 – 3,311 KW), and a rated RPM of 1,000 – 1,500, the MOS compressor is engineered for high-speed and medium-horsepower applications, including gas lift, gas gathering, gas processing, injection, enhanced oil recovery, gas transmission, gas storage, fuel gas boosting, landfill gas recovery, and many other applications. Learn more about the MOS compressor and the long-life Magnum® Hammerhead™ reciprocating compressor valve at Booth 2724.

Siemens gas turbines are precisely designed to master the dynamic energy market environment and fulfill the high requirements of a wide spectrum of applications in terms of efficiency, reliability, flexibility and environmental compatibility. Depending on your requirements, Siemens provides the right solution and scope for your market-specific need. Learn more about our gas turbines at Booth 2724, including the SGT-300 industrial gas turbine; the SGT-400 industrial gas turbine; the SGT-A35 aeroderivative turbine; and the SGT-750 industrial gas turbine. Siemens will supply two new SGT-300 gas turbine-driven compressors at a compressor station in Southern California that will improve reliability and reduce emissions for a key pipeline that transports natural gas to more than 20 million customers in Southern California. Visitors to booth 2724 can learn more about Siemens' twin-shaft, Dry Low Emissions (DLE) combustion technology SGT-300 turbine and its ability to operate over a wide load range with a fraction of the emissions compared to other gas turbines, while maintaining excellent train fuel consumption.

With experience few others can match, our automated design and manufacturing technology results in longer run times and our modular design provides ease of maintenance. Visit Booth 2724 and check out our virtual reality experience to learn more about our DATUM® centrifugal compressors designed for efficiency, reliability and easy maintenance.

With more than a century of experience and continuous development in our steam turbine technology, Siemens has delivered more than 120,000 steam turbines worldwide as generator drives or as mechanical drives for compressors or pumps.

Come and see how virtual reality in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ allows anyone to explore a simulation model in an intuitive and immersive sense, increasing insight, and empowering innovation.

Trends and Resources, July 2018
A piece of equipment exhibiting unsafe behaviors, e. g. large, unexpected vibrations, or cracks forming around instrument ports, is never a good sign. Especially in the thermal reactor of a sulfur plant.
