35 Years of Industry Leadership
The staff members at Tech Transfer are engineering experts in pulsation, piping, skid, and vessel dynamic analysis. We can tackle your most difficult analysis project — whether it be onshore or offshore, local or international.
Field-validated expertise built over three and a half decades.
Our staff has over 35 years of performing field vibration analysis of reciprocating compressor packages. Tech Transfer's field data acquisition includes vibration readings, dynamic pulsation readings, and natural frequency bump tests.
Our field vibration techniques and computer analysis methods result in effective solutions to vibration problems and minimized downtime. Analysis techniques have been developed over the last 35 years that help ensure our computer analysis results closely match recorded field data.
Tech Transfer's success rate with pulsation analysis is unparalleled in the reciprocating compressor industry. Originally developed to support field vibration analysis, today we are a world leader in pulsation and vibration analysis of reciprocating compressors — performing analyses in complete compliance with API 618 and all its options.
Onshore, offshore, and everything in between.
From small packaged units in gas gathering to large integral engine-compressors on offshore platforms — Tech Transfer has analyzed them all.
Gas Gathering & Processing
Reciprocating compressor packages for wellhead gathering, gas lift, and midstream processing applications across the full BHP range.
Pipeline & Storage
Large-horsepower transmission compressors and underground storage injection/withdrawal units on concrete and skid-mounted foundations.
Offshore Platforms
FPSO and fixed platform compression systems — including ship/platform deck in the dynamic model for accurate offshore response analysis.
LNG & Gas Lift
FPSO gas lift applications and LNG-related compression systems with complex manifold configurations and tight pulsation limits.
Refinery & Petrochemical
Process compressor and pump piping analysis for refinery and petrochemical applications per ASME B31.3 and applicable API standards.
Field Troubleshooting
On-site vibration and pulsation survey for existing installations experiencing fatigue failures, excessive vibration, or unexplained downtime.
Every type of compressor package — at every scale.
Tech Transfer's experience spans compressor package designs from 500 to 8,200 brake horsepower, with some units weighing more than 350 tons. Our designs are completed by a team with diverse backgrounds spanning compressor manufacturers, packagers, engineering contractors, pipeline operators, and major oil companies.
