Gardner Denver, Inc. - Experts & Thought Leaders

Gardner Denver Nash and the manufacturing industry are concerned about the emission of polluting gases, such as CO2, H2S, flare, and methane gas, among others that contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming. Fortunately, there are ways to recover CO2 from sugar and alcohol industry processes and paper mills, as well as methane at water treatment plants and flare gas at oil refineries. Lowering CO2 Lowering CO2 generated from Gas Recovery Systems assist organizations with environmental responsibilities and raises awareness of these issues within the community. Gas Recovery Systems preserve the environment and are profitable since the gas recovered in these processes can be recycled or sold. Applications  Gardner Denver Nash, the manufacturer of liquid ring vacuum pumps, compressors, and centrifugal blowers, develops Compression Systems for the recovery of these gases.  These systems provide solutions for a variety of industries, including: Sugar and alcohol - Plants recover the CO2 generated during the fermentation process and sell it for various industrial applications; Oil refineries - Flare gas re-uses recovered gasses, resulting in a reduction of fuel gas cost for facilities as well as reduced greenhouse gas emissions or sale of recovered gasses; Pulp and paper mills - Recover CO2 released in boilers and used for the production of CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) Landfills and effluent treatment plants - Methane gas is recovered and used as energy or burned off and cleaned for renewable natural gas, which heats water or air or heats part of an industrial process. vacuum solutions Gardner Denver Nash is a global manufacturer of engineered vacuum solutions and the liquid ring originator, serving multiple sectors for over 110 years.

Oil & Natural Gas Corporation LTD. (ONGC) is India’s largest public sector energy company, employing over 33,000 people and generating approximately 70% of the country's domestic crude production. The company is renowned for its transparency and corporate governance practices and frequently ranks highly in a variety of indexes, including Platts Top 250 (no. 11, 2017) and Forbes Global 2000 (no. 183, 2017). revitalize assets and maximize efficiency One of the company’s key offshore fields is the Heera Oilfield. Located in the Arabian Sea, roughly 70km southwest of Mumbai, the field has been operational since the mid-1980s and plays home to 19 offshore platforms, 161 production strings, 7 gas producers, and 58 water injection strings. As part of ONGC’s commitment to the Heera oilfield, the company set out to revitalize its offshore assets and maximize production efficiency. Key areas of development Key to the revitalization was a revamp of the water handling system, including the filters, chemical injection Key to the revitalization was a revamp of the water handling system, including the filters, chemical injection system, and, crucially, the platforms’ deoxygenation towers. The lump sum turnkey project to revamp the Heera platform’s deoxygenation tower was awarded to HAL Offshore, an end-to-end solution provider and EPC contractor; with Eta Process Plant and Gardner Denver Nash supplying the completed deoxygenation package. Crucial to Boosting Production Efficiency Commonly used in both on and offshore production, water injection is a method of enhanced oil recovery that helps operators to stimulate production and maximize a wells recovery factor. The technique involves the drilling of special injection wells into then flooding the reservoir with water, generating the pressure required to push oil toward the well. Seawater Although any source of water can be used, the most common and convenient source for offshore operations is seawater. As the purity of water can impact the effectiveness of using water injection, seawater must first be filtered and deoxygenated. The filtration process helps to remove larger impurities and debris, such as shells and algae before the water is passed to the deoxygenation tower; where it is processed using a system of vacuum pumps and ejectors, separating dissolved oxygen from the water. Deoxygenation The presence of bacteria and impurities can cause production problems as well as block pores in the rock Deoxygenation plays a vital role in enabling water injection, particularly when using seawater. The process is used to not only prevent corrosion and the build-up of sub-surface solids but also prevent the formation of sulfur-reducing bacterial colonies in flow lines. The presence of these bacteria and impurities can cause production problems as well as block pores in the rock, impacting the amount of oil that can be extracted. The Right Mix of Reliability & Efficiency Renowned for reliable and efficient performance in the harshest conditions, Gardner Denver Nash was contracted to contribute to the deoxygenation package for ONGC’s Heera platform. Working with Eta Process Plant, the team at NASH proposed a TC11 two-stage liquid ring vacuum pump. Built from super duplex stainless steel, the TC series features a conical porting design that provides improved water-handling capabilities. Patented conical porting design The patented conical porting design also allows the force of compression to counter the weight of the pump's rotor and shaft, working to minimize the load placed on bearings. The TC series also utilizes integral two-stage rotors that can more effectively condense and recover/dispose of vapor. Final delivery of the vacuum package The package was successfully combined with ejectors and a separator, supplied through Eta Process Plant Due to the material used in the construction of the pump, the final delivery of the vacuum package took just under 12 months. During this time, the pump pattern, component casting, and machining were completed on location at Gardner Denver NASH’s Indian production facility, with all components then being sent to the company’s South Korean plant for assembly and testing. The package was successfully combined with ejectors and a separator, supplied through Eta Process Plant, and is due for installation and commissioning in 2019.
