The Coal and Petroleum Products Manufacturing subsector is based on the transformation of crude petroleum and coal into usable products. The dominant process is petroleum refining that involves the separation of crude petroleum into component products through such techniques as cracking and distillation.
In addition, this subsector includes establishments that primarily further process refined petroleum and coal products and produce products, such as asphalt coatings and petroleum lubricating oils. The refining process is very energy intensive and operators in the market are looking for ways to reduce operations cost.
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 Coal and Petroleum industry. 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 Coal and Petroleum market that could use the IVT are as follows:
Pump Applications
Gas Compressor in Oil Refinery
