Abstract
The installation and operation of an active magnetic bearing in conjunction with a modified mechanical dry gas seal on a natural gas pipeline compressor is presented. The emphasis of this paper is centered on the active magnetic bearing. The active magnetic bearing was developed by Société de Mécanique Magnétique (S2M) of Vernon France. The first successful application to a natural gas pipeline compressor was a co-operative effort between NOVA, AN ALBERTA CORPORATION, S2M, and Magnetic Bearing Incorporated (MBI) of Radford, Virginia. This paper represents a technical and economic assessment of the bearing, including installation and operational data.
