APRIL 202319ENERGY CONSULTINGTOP 10PROVIDERS - 2023Addressing Vibration IssuesCompression Dynamics ConsultingCompression Dynamics Consulting is an engineering consulting firm that specializes in rotor dynamics in the oil and natural gas industry. "Although we provide consultation on any rotating and reciprocating equipment, we excel at pulsation analysis, torsional analysis, and dynamic field vibration analysis," says Chris Miller, managing partner, Compression Dynamics Consulting.Compression Dynamics Consulting seamlessly conducts field vibration analysis, and this is one of the biggest differentiators of the company in the market. To ensure an accurate diagnosis, the company goes on-site and gathers vibration, pulsation, and performance data. This is done utilizing accelerometer, velocity, and transducer probes at critical points of interest. "We typically conduct thorough and complicated studies. Our team does not simply provide recommendations to clients and wash their hands off them. We address the issues clients are experiencing,'' says Miller.This capability to go out in the field and use vibration probes is a competitive advantage for Compression Dynamics Consulting. Unlike other firms that conduct engineering and analytical studies, the company has the expertise to verify the results or look at vibration data to decipher the discrepancies. Prefabrication analysis is another key area of focus for Compression Dynamics Consulting. The company analyzes pre-fabrication drawings of equipment to ensure everything runs smoothly with acceptable vibration. Compression Dynamics Consulting is outfitted with the best analytical software available, and their results have been field-tested and validated. A few examples of cutting-edge tools the firm utilizes are Autodesk, Pulsim Suite, ANSYS, and Caesar II. Using these technologies, Compression Dynamics Consulting provides its clients with reliable, up-to-date insights into their system dynamics.A testament to Compression Dynamics Consulting's comprehensive approach is when they helped a leading oil and gas exploration and production company. It visited one of the offshore production facilities of the client and performed field vibration analysis on the company's complete natural gas compression system and expanded the operating range by 200 rpm on the reciprocating compressors.The client could only attain equipment speed up to 700 rpm, despite having a design speed range of up to 900 rpm. After following Compression Dynamics Consulting's recommendation, they were able to restore the equipment to its full design speed of 900 rpm. As a result, the client was able to improve its production rate.Compression Dynamics Consulting always keeps the scheduling as transparent as possible since its operations influence the operational timetable of clients. This is rare in the industry and highly beneficial for clients from a monetary perspective.Compression Dynamics Consulting has truly changed the status quo in the fields of dynamic equipment vibration and field vibration analysis. Through the combination of advanced engineering experience and state-of-the-art equipment, it consistently meets and exceeds client expectations. We typically conduct thorough and complicated studies. Our team does not simply provide recommendations to clients and wash their hands of them.
