For more than a century, HOERBIGER has been off ering a wide
range of reliable and effi cient products as well as partnershiplike
services to meet the demands of all applications in the
reciprocating compressor industry. HOERBIGER develops design
solutions and materials improving the effi ciency, operating time
and environmental soundness of reciprocating compressors.
Its portfolio includes a wide range of key components and
solutions, such as:
* Very low-emission, durable
BCD packing rings
* OFD oil wiper rings for
increased oil savings and
reliability
* Highly energy-effi cient CE
ring valves
* Modular RecipCOM
monitoring, protection and
diagnostic systems

HOERBIGER also off ers customer-specifi c solutions, analysis and
optimum adjustment to production requirements.
To meet today's plant demands in terms of run cycle, energy
effi ciency and legal compliance, compressors have to be
continuously improved.
For this reason HOERBIGER performs REE Assessment for
compressor fl eets. Available worldwide for any reciprocating
compressor, the REE Assessment helps operators to choose the
right technology and to make the right business decisions.

Compressor experts
from HOERBIGER carry
out a REE audit on site
to build up a picture
of each compressor's
design, operating
conditions, maintenance
and failure records. The
detailed compliance
report pinpoints then
the performance of each
compressor, with a REE
index ranking equipment
in terms of its potential for
improvement and savings.

HydroCOM is an effi cient, stepless, dynamic and fully-automated
control system. Several diff erent methods are available for
capacity control for reciprocating compressors. Only HydroCOM,
however, achieves best results in terms of energy savings, speed
and accuracy. It improves process control, optimizes performance
and pays for itself
within a short period
of time.
When reciprocating
compressors are
critical to the process,
ineffi cient operation
or breakdowns put the
profi tability and safety
of the entire plant at
risk. A monitoring and
protection system is
the best investment
to ensure safe and
reliable operation and cut maintenance costs. On every revolution,
RecipCOM's continuous monitoring of critical equipment
parameters gives early warning of potentially catastrophic failures,
in real time and with SIL certifi ed reliability.
