Pressure Energy Recovery
Generate power where pressure is currently throttled away.
Magnetic levitation turboexpander-generator systems for natural gas pipelines, city-gate stations, LNG processes and industrial gas networks.
Best Fit
Use this route when the plant already reduces pressure and wants to recover that pressure drop as power.
- Natural gas, process gas or special gas is currently throttled through a pressure-reduction step.
- Stable downstream pressure must be preserved while controlled expansion is introduced.
- Gas composition, preheating and operating variability all affect route selection.
Fast Assessment
Send four inputs to start the review.
- Gas composition and service medium
- Inlet pressure and required outlet pressure
- Flow range and operating pattern
- Temperature and preheating conditions
Typical next step
We first check whether the available pressure ratio and gas conditions support a practical recovery route before discussing equipment scope.
Application Engineering
Replace energy-dissipating pressure reduction with controlled expansion.
Boomtec evaluates available pressure ratio, flow stability, gas composition, preheating requirements and downstream pressure control before defining the turbine-generator route.
Natural-Gas Recovery
Turboexpander-generator systems can be evaluated where regulated natural-gas pressure is otherwise throttled through valves.
- Inlet and required outlet pressure defined with the station operator
- Flow range, gas composition and temperature assessed together
- Preheating and downstream pressure control included in route selection
Process Gas and CO2
Special-gas and CO2 applications require a medium-specific thermodynamic and equipment review.
- Composition, phase behaviour and safety boundary considered first
- Expansion train and generator arrangement are project-specific
- Do not apply natural-gas assumptions directly to another gas
Project Inputs
The first review establishes whether a practical recovery route exists within the process constraints.
- Pressure basis, temperature and flow range
- Gas analysis and preheating conditions
- Operating pattern, site interfaces and safety requirements
