Abstract

Natural gas is an important base material and commodity for a host of industrial processes and is becoming increasingly important against a background of growing environmental awareness and more restrictive emission standards. Over seventy nations are currently supplied with natural gas. A variety of processes - from extraction and storage via gas treatment and transport through pipelines - call for turbo-compressors that must meet with the most varied requirements. High-speed drive systems are capable of directly driving these turbo-compressors at speeds of up to 20,000 rpm / 8 MW, using the MV7000 converter, also described below.
