Unmatched Experience
For more than 60 years, Dresser-Rand has offered pipeline booster products for the gas transmission industry, continuously offering various technological advancements. To date, the company has designed, manufactured and installed more than 750 pipeline compressors for the gas transmission industry, with the first installation occurring in 1947.
The DATUM P compressor draws upon the proven technology of the DATUM line of centrifugal compressors. Designed for maximum performance in all pressure and flow applications, the DATUM compressor's unmatched efficiency, reliability, and ease of maintenance makes it the most advanced turbocompressor available for the oil, gas, and process industries.
Modular Assembly Design
The DATUM P compressor utilizes components - impellers, bearings, seals, stationary flow-path components, etc. - from the DATUM multi-stage compressor product line. As such, it benefits from the proven experience and design flexibility of the DATUM product line including its many innovative features, such as the modular bundle assembly.
The DATUM P compressor was developed based on user input and was designed for easy maintenance. The modular bundle assembly allows for rapid change-out of rotating elements - together with bearings, seals, and stationary components - in one cartridge-style assembly.
