Snohvit / Hammerfest LNG

Scope: 2x integrally geared compressors with dry gas seals
The only existing subsea pipeline injection currently operating in the world. Natural Gas in the Snohvit field contains 5-8% CO₂ which is separated, compressed, liquefied and pumped back via subsea pipeline into reservoir

ION Clean Energy

Scope: Front End Engineering Design (FEED) study to support heat integration and optimization, compressor selection
DOE-supported design and costing study for retrofitting Nebraska Public Power District Gerald Gentleman Station with a 90% CO₂ capture system

FPSOs Pre-Salt

Scope: 4x compressor trains – high density centrifugal compressors for CO₂ re-injection service
Reduced capital expenditure, footprint, weight, and operating costs, while increasing reliability by eliminating the need to install, operate and maintain high-pressure injection pumping systems downstream of the compression system

CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery

Scope: Over 90 High Speed Reciprocating Compressors supplied to develop stranded reserves of oil from depleted reservoirs
Increased oil production with CO2 EOR

Steam Methane Reforming

CO2 compressor for carbon capture project for hydrogen producing steam methane reformers. The compressor supplies a high pressure CO2 pipeline for enhanced oil recovery.
1 million metric tons of CO2 captured and stored per year (>90% capture rate). The captured CO2 is expected to increase oil field output by 60-90 million barrels.
