C-Series 7044 Compression Package with GE’s Waukesha engine brings added flexibility
HOUSTON (May 19, 2015) — Exterran has introduced the latest addition to its C-Series offering of configurable compression packages: the C-Series 7044 Compression Package. The C-Series 7044 joins Exterran’s product portfolio and builds on its line of natural gas compression products pre-engineered with a wide range of configuration options, allowing for flexibility, fast delivery and high performance.
This model features GE’s 1680 horsepower Waukesha L7044GSI rich-burn engine, paired with an Ariel JGK4 compressor. GE’s Waukesha gas engines are widely regarded for fuel flexibility on a wide gas range up to 2,300 Btu, as well as full-power capabilities without derate at altitudes up to 8,000 feet. Benefitting from Exterran’s extensive research and experience, the C-Series 7044 can be configured with more than 60 options including advanced emissions control systems to meet most government compliance requirements.
“The C-Series 7044 broadens Exterran’s already extensive menu of solutions to meet the unique production requirements of our customers,” said William Sayre, vice president, compression fabrication at Exterran. “The growing product family allows us to offer pre-engineered gas compression packages with more than 1,000 possible configurations, providing remarkable flexibility in a product backed by Exterran’s decades of design, manufacturing, operation and maintenance experience.”
The C-Series 7044 joins a line debuted in 2014. Packages are built on heavy-duty, steel skids suitable for mounting on a compacted gravel pad, piles or an engineered concrete foundation. The C-Series is available in 13 base models in one-, two- and three-stage configurations, with other benefits including:
- 10- to 14-week delivery with high quality, performance and configurability that allows customers to get their gas and revenue streams moving quickly
- Ready inventory of preconfigured units that may be available for immediate delivery
- Production drawings available within two to three business days of project award to accelerate customer planning and lower contract, budget and schedule risks
- Simple assembly and commissioning that allows customers to bring their operation online rapidly
- Installation, commission and service of customer units to expedite startup and unburden maintenance operations
“Collaborating with Exterran to deliver GE’s Waukesha engine technology with their C-Series 7044 package is great for customers,” said Darryl Wilson, chief commercial officer for GE’s Distributed Power Business. “Speed, reliability, and efficiency are important factors for customers, and this new package helps deliver all three.”
Exterran’s C-Series can be used in a wide array of natural gas applications generally above
5 pounds per square inch gauge (PSIG) inlet pressure and up to 1,300 PSIG discharge pressure. Typical applications include wellhead, gas gathering, flare elimination, gas processing, and plant inlet and residue.
