Gas Compressor Project Efficiency Enhancement

This document is a technical report detailing the collaboration between Eastman and Turboden S.p.A. on a gas compressor project in Egypt. The project involved the development of a waste heat recovery system utilizing the largest high-temperature organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system to date. Eastman provided its Therminol® 66 heat transfer fluid, which was essential for optimizing system efficiency and reliability. The report outlines the critical role of high-quality thermal oil in maximizing the ORC system's performance, including its ability to maintain stable fluid performance and prevent corrosion of system components. The ORC system converts waste heat into fuel-free electricity, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of the facility. The project achieved an increase in natural gas pumping capacity and a substantial reduction in CO2 emissions. Additionally, Eastman continues to offer technical support through its Fluid Genius™ monitoring system, which aids in fluid analysis and predictive analytics to enhance system performance.
