LABY®-GI FUEL GAS COMPRESSOR SYSTEMS

Product catalog summary

Overview
Burckhardt Compression provides compressor solutions specifically designed for marine applications, particularly for LNG carriers with MAN ME-GI two-stroke engines. The Laby®-GI Compressors are engineered for efficient fuel gas compression, optimizing operational costs (OPEX) and supporting various ship systems including gen-sets, propulsion engines, and reliquefaction systems.

Customer Benefits

Low power consumption reduces operational costs.
Multi-purpose compression supports ME-GI engines, gen-sets, and PRS supply.
Unique piston sealing technology ensures reliability and availability.
No major maintenance required between dry docks for lubricated high-pressure stages.
No oil contamination with non-lubricated high-pressure stages.
Onboard maintenance can be performed by the ship's crew.
Comprehensive after-sales services are available.

Technical Data
The document provides specifications for various compressor models, including mass flow, dimensions, and weight. For example, the 4LP250 model has a typical mass flow of less than 4,500 kg/h (9,900 lbs/h) and weighs 127,000 kg (280,000 lbs).

Design Features

Gas-tight crankcase for enhanced safety and zero gas loss.
Cryogenic operation without the need for BOG pre-warming.
No vibrations due to the elimination of unbalanced forces and moments.
Designed according to marine standards.
Available as a non-lubricated compressor up to 310 bar.

Process Layout (Non-Lubricated)
The process layout includes components such as the Pump Vaporizer, Laby®-GI Compressor, Gas Valve Unit (GVU), and MAN ME-GI Engine, operating at temperatures between -90°C to -140°C (-130°F to -220°F) and pressures up to 310 bar (4500 psi).
