Harsco Lands order for 12 Compression Coolers
July 18, 2016
Harsco Corp. received an order for 12 gas compression coolers for a gas-fired compressor station in southeast Texas. Harsco’s Industrial Air-X-Chargers/Hammco business will fulfill the order, the terms of which were not disclosed.
The compressor station will be built along a 66 mile (106 km), 36 in. (91.4 cm) diameter pipeline in southeast Texas, providing up to 1.54 Bcf (43.6 X 106 m3) of natural gas to a large LNG facility in the Gulf of Mexico.
Harsco’s units, which will be manufactured at the company’s 550,000 sq. ft. (51,097 m2) production plant in Tulsa, Oklahoma, are designed to cool natural gas. Each unit measures 16 ft. wide and 55 ft. long, with 15 ft. diameter fans (4.9 m wide, 16.8 m long, 4.6 m diameter). They are expected for delivery at the end of the year.
The order is Harsco’s fifth largest for a midstream compression project within the last two years, the company said.
