Flotech is a leading producer of fuel gas booster compression systems for power plants. Flotech compressor systems are available in standard sizes with pre-packaged configurations. We also supply systems custom-designed for your special application.
Flotech offer two main compressor types for Power Generation known as RC and VC.
VC (Vane Compressor) are mainly used in low-pressure (<10 bar) applications, to maintain a constant supply pressure for gas engines. Flotech have developed a number of standard packages to suit Wärtsilä, Caterpillar, MAN, Jenbacher, Rolls Royce gas engines. The VC packages are designed to operate over a range of suction pressures maintaining constant discharge pressures with varying engine load.
RC (Reciprocating Compressor) are used in power generation applications requiring higher gas supply pressure - e.g. ~60 bar for the latest Rolls Royce Trent and ~70 bar for the advanced GE LMS100 gas turbines. Flotech has developed and delivered across the globe, compression solutions for most of the standard aero derivative and frame turbines available on the market today. We are recognised as the world leader in high pressure gas compression having provided many 350 bar(g)+ compression solutions for Wärtsilä gas/diesel engines.
