All engineering design and development processes comply with ISO 9001:2008.

NEW EQUIPMENTL.A. Turbine designs and manufactures turboexpanders for use in the Hydrocarbon Gas Processing, Air Separation, Refrigeration and Power Recovery industries. Turboexpander product configurations include:

Expander-Compressor: This configuration is used in applications such as natural gas, petrochemical, air separation and other cryogenic processes. The power extracted by the expander wheel during the gas expansion is transferred through the shaft to the compressor, which allows the recovered energy to be applied elsewhere in the process. The resulting temperature drop through the expander produces the refrigeration necessary for cryogenic gas processing.

Expander-Generator: Energy from gas expansion is converted into electric power as a result of the expander-generator process. Expander-generator equipment is typically offered in three configurations:

1. The expander shaft is coupled to a high-speed gearbox input shaft, and the gearbox’s output shaft is coupled to the generator.

Products

2. The expander shaft is the pinion of the high- speed gearbox, eliminating the coupling mentioned above. This configuration is also known as an integral gearbox.

3. The expander shaft is common with the rotor of a high-speed generator, eliminating the gearbox entirely.

Expander-Brake: This configuration provides efficient means of cryogenic refrigeration, while the energy recovered from gas expansion is absorbed by a brake wheel rotating in a stream of oil or air.

GEOTHERMAL POWER SOLUTIONSL.A Turbine has proven its engineering expertise by redesigning one of the largest geothermal turboexpander-generator machines ever built. The expander, originally built by another turboexpander company, had experienced significant reliability issues resulting in ongoing failures during a multi-year period. L.A. Turbine’s engineering team applied its 300+ years of accumulated geothermal turboexpander manufacturing expertise and created an innovative design approach that resulted in the creation of a new expander wheel coupling technology. L.A. Turbine manufactured the components for the redesign and delivered a solution that not only met the customer’s performance requirements but also delivered a reliable and ongoing operational unit. Our team welcomes the opportunity to apply their innovative thinking in performance, efficiency and reliability to the emerging ideas and opportunities in the renewable energy field today.

The Before and After images shown above present an example of a complete redesign, including refurbishment of the oil system skid, its associated pumps, valves, pressure tank and cooler, as well as a new PLC with HMI and transmitters.

Performance: If your turboexpander equipment has been in service for several years, current process conditions may have changed significantly from the original design conditions. L.A. Turbine offers redesigns that increase efficiency, improve reliability and provide a quick return on investment.

Complimentary Evaluation: L.A. Turbine offers complimentary evaluations of your current turboexpander operation. Call +1-855-FX-TURBO (+1-855-398-8726), email sales@laturbine.com or complete a Turboexpander Evaluation Form online at www.laturbine.com.

Reliability: L.A. Turbine has a proven track record of improving the mechanical reliability of existing expander equipment, regardless of original manufacturer.

REDESIGN AND REVERSE ENGINEERINGEfficiency and reliability is essential to economic success in today’s processing plant. L.A. Turbine offers redesign of your existing expander equipment. Using advanced 3D laser scanning, CMM, FaroArm® and ADRE system technology, our engineering team ensures the right design solution, every time.

SPARE PARTSTurboexpanders can operate for years without servicing; however, starting and stopping equipment and varying process conditions may lead to a service requirement or cause machine failure. Therefore, it is critical to have certain spare parts on hand for emergency needs. L.A. Turbine will identify a spare parts inventory to meet your operational needs, reduce the risk of future downtime and minimize your capital expense.

Depending on your requirements, L.A. Turbine may recommend:

• Gasket sets, O-ring kits and Teflon® seals

• Disposable filter elements for lube oil and seal gas filters

• Repair kits for critical skid-mounted valves, actuators, regulators and pumps

• Spare mechanical center section (MCS) — If the current operating unit is damaged, the spare MCS can be installed in a few days rather than weeks, dramatically reducing down time and lost production revenue

CONTROL SYSTEMSCurrent control system technology allows vibration analysis and provides mechanical engineers with a flexible data acquisition, monitoring and control platform to more precisely diagnose and predict machinery malfunction. With a flexible data acquisition and vibration analysis system, you gain the ability to easily expand input channel count and analysis functionality, without expensive upgrades. Similarly, data acquisition can be applied to post-manufacturing testing and real-time monitoring in the field. L.A. Turbine can incorporate state-of-the-art upgrades, such as speed, vibration and pressure transmitters, and integrate these with compatible PLCs and HMI panels that communicate with the DCS through Modbus® or Ethernet.
