Oil & Gas Industry

The oil and gas market is divided into upstream, midstream and downstream. Within each area there exist a full range of pumps, compressors and fans to assist with the production, refining and transportation of oil and gas. Processes within the oil and gas market are becoming more difficult to handle as crude oil viscosities increase, energy cost increase and operating margins decrease. Higher crude oil viscosities put demands on process equipment resulting in changing loads and varying speed demands on prime movers. As the prime movers are operated outside their rated operation parameters they become less efficient.

Turbo Trac offers an Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) that increases the system efficiency and reduces energy consumption up to 25% on various process applications within the oil and gas market.

Additionally, the IVT system has variable speed control within the unit, therefore there is no need to use unreliable variable speed drives. Some of the applications within the oil and gas market that could use the IVT are as follows:

Screw Pumps

Water Pumps

Boiler Feed Pumps

Compression Systems
