The Complete Scope of Supply for Reliable Operation

Details of BAUER Packaging Technology

 
 
 

BAUER Natural Gas Compressor Units include all of the instrumentation and control devices that are necessary for the safe, reliable operation of the compressor. Our complete scope of supply for standard models sets us apart from the competition.

Automatic fail-close solenoid valve at inlet - automatically stops the flow of gas from the pipeline to the compressor's inlet under normal and fault conditions.

Inlet buffer tank - eliminates pressure pulsations from from the compressor's first stage of compression to the gas meter.

Safety devices for low/high inlet pressure, compressor low oil temperature and compressor relief valve overpressure. Each device effects an immediate fault shutdown (first out fault logic) of the compressor and annunciation with a visual fault indicator.

Panel mounted pressure gauge for each stage of compression, oil pressure, inlet pressure and discharge pressure - enables a quick check on the status and performance of the compressor unit.

Hourmeter - records the number of operating hours for easy maintenance scheduling.

Coalescing separator on compressor outlet - removes condensed oil and water droplets from the gas stream. Provides effective prefiltering of the gas before entry to the optional high pressure gas processing system Includes a reusable sintered element for reduced maintenance cost.

Automatic Condensate Drain (ACD) system - drains the interstage and final separators automatically in a timed sequential drain mode during normal operation and at shutdown. Manual valves are included override the automatic operation of the ACD to facilitate troubleshooting. Most competitors drain all stages at one time, which has an adverse affect on reciprocating compressors.

Pressure switch at compressor outlet - for automatic starting and stopping of the compressor.

Explosion proof electric motor with v-belt drive and belt guard - some competitors use non-explosive proof motors

Stainless steel tubing, tube fittings and high pressure instrument pipe fittings - one key to successful compressor operation is knowing how to install high pressure tubing to reduce transfer of vibration throughout the package. BAUER is renowned for quality craftsmanship of high pressure tubing and for the practically vibration-free operation of the compressor units.

Locally mounted, PLC based compressor control circuit supplied in a NEMA 7 explosion proof enclosure with UL listed electrical panel:

Full voltage, nonreversing motor starter with overload protection and manual reset.

Control voltage transformer with fuses on primary and secondary sides.

Off/On selector switch.

Power ON light to indicate that the electric circuit is energized with power.

Line power conditioner for PLC power supply.

Intrinsically safe switch amplifiers for digital safety devices low oil pressure switch, high temperature switch and final pressure switch.

Thermostatically controlled heater for electrical enclosure.

Rigid conduit for wiring with factory poured sealing devices - some packagers pour the sealing devices prior to shipment because they do not or cannot pretest their systems. This important step can be easily forgotten in the field and jeopardize the integrity of the entire station.

Factory testing on natural gas - ensures that the package is ready for operation upon installation and connection to gas and electrical services.

Factory quality to ISO Standards - a testament to our commitment to quality and an assurance that not every manufacturer or packager can provide.

Factory warranty - compressor and controls are designed, packaged, tested and warranted by the manufacturer.

Factory customer service - factory personnel are available to assist by phone, fax or email.

Built in compliance to the latest edition of NFPA 52 and ANSI NGV 4.8.
