COMPRESSION
Dresser-Rand has been designing gas
turbine–driven centrifugal compressors for
half a century, and has delivered more than
1,000 mechanical drive gas turbine pack-
ages. DATUM® centrifugal compressors
are used in critical services throughout the
world for applications in the oil, gas, petro-
chemical and process industries where high
reliability and availability are mandatory. In
2
than 20,000 reciprocating compressor units
worldwide, with more than 6,500 centrifugal
units currently in operation.
POWER GENERATION
Dresser-Rand specializes in gas turbine
generator sets up to 34 MW (ISO rated).
A variety of standard designs is available
to meet individual applications within
the oil and gas, cogeneration, and
standby markets.
During the past 40 years, gas turbine units
have played an increasingly important role
in the generation of electrical power. They
are dominant in the offshore industry and
are used extensively throughout the world
in general power applications. Now they
dominate the rapidly expanding cogenera-
tion market. Dresser-Rand has won inter-
national recognition in this thriving activity,
having delivered approximately 1,500
generator sets in more than 60 countries
around the world.
CASE STUDY:
North Sea: “Sleipner” a major success.
Dresser-Rand completed two of the
largest orders ever placed for gas
turbine–powered equipment in the North
Sea. Statoil awarded the contracts to
Dresser-Rand on the basis of a very
competitive solution. Critical technical
features included: low weight, minimum
dimensions and superior arrangements
for inspection and maintenance. The first
contract placed by Statoil for the “A”
platform covered two 21 MW D-R gas
turbine generator sets and five D-R gas
turbine/compressor units for recompression,
pipeline and reinjection duties.

Based on Dresser-Rand’s satisfactory
performance on this first contract, the
award for the equipment on the “T”
platform was negotiated with Statoil.
This included one D-R gas turbine generator
set, two VFD motor-driven recompression
trains and three D-R gas turbine–driven
compressor sets for pipeline and CO2 gas
stripping and reinjection in the North Sea.
The equipment was delivered on schedule
and to the satisfaction of the client.

MECHANICAL DRIVE APPLICATIONS
OFFSHORE/ONSHORE
For more than 60 years, Dresser-Rand
has been a world leader in rotating equip-
xperience in ment solutions: designing, manufacturing,
and servicing a wide range of field-proven
mechanical drive centrifugal compressors. Since the mid-
1900s, we have built—and in many cases
installed—more than 6,500 centrifugal
compressors for applications as diverse and
challenging as LNG, ethylene, refining, fertil-
izers, natural gas production, gas transmis-
sion, gas storage, gas reinjection, and gas
lift for enhanced oil production.
Decades of experience in supplying hun-
dreds of gas turbine–powered compression
systems to the oil and gas industry have
given us special insight into our clients’ pri-
orities. Long-term relationships with oil and
gas companies around the world have given
us extensive experience in complying with
the industry’s exacting specifications
in health, safety and environment (HSE),
QA/QC requirements, rules and regulations,
and classification requirements.
In addition to gas turbine–driven power
generation and compression, including float-
ing as well as fixed-foundation production
facilities, Dresser-Rand provides a full range
of solutions that may be required within a
project, including:
Assembly of VECTRA 40G power turbines at

STANDBY POWER SYSTEMS
For many telecommunication centers,
airports and hospitals, standby power is
mandatory. For banks, computer centers,
oil platforms and many others, protection
against blackouts is also necessary. These
types of clients require maximum reliability
with the absolute minimum of disturbance
to their normal businesses.
North Sea: Two KG2-3E generator sets provide
emergency power onboard the Troll oil platform.
Four 21 MW D-R gas turbines provide base
load power and compression.
With 99.3 percent start reliability, a full load
throw-on capacity, and minimized mainte-
nance, the KG2 turbine is ideal for emer-
gency power supply, onshore and offshore.
The KG2 standby generator set has been
specifically designed to meet these require-
ments for power from 1 MW to 10 MW
(single and multiple units).
In addition to the KG2, we can offer any
other gas turbines in D-R’s product range
for standby and peaking duty up to 34 MW.
ENVIRONMENTAL FOCUS
D-R is committed to addressing critical
environmental concerns while continuing to
improve operational efficiencies. Dresser-
Rand’s emission control system for NOX and
CO includes DLE, water injection and steam
injection. For example, our DLE solutions for
the VECTRA 40G can reduce NOX emissions
by approximately 80 percent. Effective noise
abatement systems are also a priority.
Most environmental regulations require
that all continuous-duty units be low-NOX
installations, of which the preferred
method is DLE. Even when we produce
non-DLE packages, we build with DLE
retrofit in mind.

goes far beyond supplying spare parts
and providing on-site assistance. D-R
aims to be our clients’ partner for gas

and automatic start, unit warm-up and
cool-down, local and remote control, gas
turbine fuel control, compressor surge con-
trol, vibration and temperature monitoring,
train sequencing and machinery protection
are all integrated in the DI-Tronics system.
Solutions can be configured with single,
duplex or triple redundant PLC controllers
based on service criticality.
All critical parameters are continuously
monitored for signal failure or alarm and
shutdown conditions. A fail-safe approach
is utilized to provide maximum protection
for personnel and machinery in the event of
machinery, control system, field device, or
electrical failures.
