Hello,

Has anyone come across a reciprocating compressor setup with non-symmetrical redundancy, something like 20%, 30%, and 50% capacity units in parallel?

 

Curious how the flow distribution and control were handled. Was one unit used as a trim? Any issues with load sharing, suction pressure imbalance, or control logic?

 

Would appreciate any real-world examples or lessons learned.

Thanks!

It is a strange question__

 

DO you have see it at any process>. 

 

 

In Liquids you could set a centrifugal pump as a booster for a triplex pump.
