The Hot-Seat

A message from our Chairperson, Gary Bowerbank.

"I do hope you all managed to take some time off over the summer and to spend some quality time with friends and family.

In the remaining months of 2021, we still have a lot of things going on. The Future Energy teams continue to be extremely active and hope to bring you another virtual event, we have the New Specialist Directory (to help our members connect to each other) as well as our AGM and Technical Conference. So do keep checking the website and follow GPA Europe on LinkedIn to keep up to date with all the events and activities.

So while the kids are all going back to school, perhaps we should all sharpen our pencils and learn something new at one of our next events.”

Paper of the Month

This month we are looking back to a paper from Mounir Mossolly and Celine Belbol, Technip Energies. Presented at our Virtual Technical Series, November 2020.


"Turbomachinery Configuration for LNG Projects Concept Selection"


"Refrigerant compressors are the pumping heart of any liquefied natural gas plant. Those compressors are nowadays systematically of centrifugal type, they vary in size and configuration, being influenced by the context of the project. Steam turbines, gas turbines (heavy duty or aero-derivative) and electric motors – and a combination of these three - are all possible options to drive the refrigerant compressors. It has been demonstrated that a single shaft can drive one, two or three compressor casings depending on plant capacity, the liquefaction process technology and balancing needs of power. This is particularly interesting as drivers with larger output power and efficiency can be considered. This paper will elaborate on the selection of an optimum turbomachinery configuration from a technical perspective. This paper builds on technical experience attained through working on multiple concept and early FEED studies for turbomachinery selection in LNG projects, some of which have gone to execution."
