Project Background
Dyno Nobel’s plant in Louisiana, MO was changing multiple processes at their plant, which would decrease their steam production. These changes resulted in the decommissioning of their steam turbine, which drove their sulfuric acid compressor. FGGS working with SIEMENS, developed a 3.7MW electric motor to increasing gear solution.
FGGS Approach
FGGS designed and increasing gear to meet the specifications of the new Siemens motor and existing Dresser-Rand compressor. Not only was FGGS able to supply the custom gearbox, FGGS field service engineers assisted in the installation and provided technical assistance after start-up.
Transferred Power
Dyno Nobel was able to successfully convert from a steam turbine to an electric motor. FGGS was able to design, manufacture, and install an increasing gear, which met the customer’s time frame and design constraints.
