Burckhardt Compression
Burckhardt Compression has announced that, due to the unique labyrinth sealing technology of its Laby®-GI compressor and its small footprint, Burckhardt Compression has been awarded an order by TS LNG BV to deliver a Laby®-GI Booster Compressor for the Gate LNG import terminal in Rotterdam-Maasvlakte, The Netherlands. The order is for additional high-pressure compression within the existing LNG import terminal. The responsible contractor for the order is TS LNG BV composed of Techint, Italy, and SENER, Spain.

The compressor will feed the natural gas into the pipeline with 83 bar pressure. The compressor has a unique labyrinth sealing system on piston and piston rod gland that allows oil-free and contact-free compression for minimum wear and tear. On top, due to limited space TS LNG BV preferred the compact vertical design of the Laby®-GI Compressor. Delivery is scheduled to be in Q2 2011. 41-(0)52-262-55 00, www.burckhardtcompression.com.
