HOUSTON, September 10, 2014-Dresser-Rand, a global supplier of rotating equipment solutions to the oil, gas, petrochemical, power, and process industries, will showcase products and services that offer high efficiency and dependable performance for the energy infrastructure industry at this year's 43rd Turbomachinery and 30th Pump Users Symposia.

Visitors of Dresser-Rand booth #1715 can attend 15-minute mini-seminars throughout the show highlighting Dresser-Rand's broad array of products and services. The mini-seminars do not require registration; however, there will be limited seating and standing room.

"All of our clients in the oil, gas and energy markets are looking for innovative ways to reduce costs and improve the efficiency and reliability of their rotating equipment," said Harry Miller, Director of Emerging Technologies at Dresser-Rand. "We offer the right technologies to help clients meet their individual efficiency goals and requirements, whether it is through a steam turbine, magnetic bearings or controls suite. The products we are showcasing at this year's Pump & Turbo Symposia are reliable options that allow clients to reduce energy consumption, use waste heat, lower emissions, and improve return on investments."

Experts will be on hand to discuss Dresser-Rand process reciprocating compressors, which boast an outstanding record for performance, efficiency, reliability, and low maintenance in the most demanding upstream, midstream and downstream process applications. Available with up to 10 crank throws, as single-throw or balanced-opposed configurations, Dresser-Rand custom engineers each unit for efficiency by designing each cylinder and valve, and select other components to meet each client's specific operating requirements.

Featured Products:

DATUM® Centrifugal Compressors

Designed for maximum performance in all pressure and flow applications in the midstream and downstream oil and gas industries, the Dresser-Rand DATUM® line of centrifugal compressors offer efficiency, reliability and easy maintenance for gas gathering, liquid recovery, gas lift, gas injection, pipeline boosters, gas storage, recompression, and reinjection. It can also be used for wet gas, hydrogen, coker, and other hydrocarbon and utility gases for refining.

Synchrony® Magnetic Bearings
Synchrony® magnetic bearings bring a new, more reliable fault tolerant magnetic bearing technology to the marketplace. The use of magnetic bearings in rotating machinery means reduced process downtime, longer machine life, improved machine efficiency through use of high-speed motors, elimination of gears, and reduced maintenance costs. In addition, magnetic bearings reduce environmental footprint by eliminating ancillary equipment, including oil lubrication systems, and have been shown to help reduce energy consumption. By reducing bearing losses, eliminating gearbox losses and improving aerodynamic efficiency, improvements in energy efficiency greater than 10 percent can often be achieved in rotating machinery.

Single-stage Steam Turbines
These single-stage steam workhorse turbines are cost-effective, easy to install, come in a variety of sizes and configurations to meet client specifications, require minimum maintenance, and are designed for extremely high inlet pressures and temperatures, as well as high exhaust pressures. With a variety of model designs to choose from, Dresser-Rand steam turbines meet the strict standards of API 611 and 612 and provide efficient generator drive solutions from 500 kW to 4,500 kW.

Gimpel® Valves
Demonstrations of a new controller for Dresser-Rand's Gimpel® valves will be shown during the symposia and guests can learn how the line of valves provide reliable emergency shutdown for multi-stage steam turbine protection. Gimpel safety valves, including trip, trip and throttle and non-return valves, are all calibrated to provide state-of-the-art protection and shutdown control. Single or multiple control valves are available, depending on the power output of the turbine as well as mechanical latch-type trip throttle valves and hydraulic-operated trip and trip throttle valves.

Envision® Software
Envision® Condition Monitoring software allows for process control and condition monitoring within a single computer platform. Unlike traditional systems that use separate control and monitoring displays, the Envision system combines these primary functions to allow for unprecedented insight into a unit's performance and mechanical health. Aside from the diagnostic advantages, the Envision suite prolongs the life of oil and gas machinery and reduces life cycle costs by keeping the equipment well-maintained and constantly monitored.

Services That Provide Additional Value
With 14 manufacturing facilities and 49 service and support centers strategically located throughout the world, including Houston, Dresser-Rand's dedicated service center staff is ready to provide responsive, reliable support for rotating equipment. Each service center offers product-specific repair capabilities and services for turbomachinery equipment, reciprocating compressors and engines and steam turbines.

The integrated field service teams help clients develop cost-effective, field-proven solutions for all rotating equipment and related control systems. The teams are also supported by an extensive technical support network consisting of R&D teams, equipment design engineers and aerodynamic performance engineers who are available to help conduct application and feasibility studies for complex projects.

Additionally, Dresser-Rand's Engineered Solutions group is dedicated specifically to providing upgrades, repairs and service solutions to all equipment, not only those units manufactured by Dresser-Rand.
