High-speed rotor-compressor with small footprint and high-performance stages for various applications including hydrogen
Benefits
Technology applicable to a wide range of processes, and well suited to gas compositions with low and medium molecular weights
Optimized for installation and maintenance: top-line compressor performance, up to 30% smaller footprint and 50% lighter weight
Extended operating range: for typical centrifugal compressor applications and all new energy process applications
Features
Stacked rotor configuration enables higher rotating speed, maximizing pressure ratio
Advanced high-efficiency, high-head impeller design with peripheral speed capability above 400 meters per second
Advanced seals and bearings to maximize rotor damping; up to three sections in a single casing
Applications
LNG, floating LNG, and upstream gas
Hydrogen production, pipeline and storage
Refining and petrochemical
Overview
Baker Hughes is an established leader in compression technology, and our HPRC solution provides significant improvements in green-hydrogen applications—reducing footprint and weight, increasing reliability and availability.
Less is more
The robust stacked rotor design enables high rotating speed, which increases pressure ratio capability and reduces the number of impellers and compressor casings required. For example, traditional applications and new energy services that typically require two or more bodies are accomplished in one HPRC.
