Special technical solution has been implemented in the design of the GCU-16 units, allowing the use of PS-90GP-2 engines (JSC UEC-Perm Engines) and AL- 31ST (PJSC UEC-UEPA) as the blower drive.
Units are designed taking into account the latest trends in gas industry and are used for modernization of existing compressor stations and construction of new ones for main gas pipelines.
GCU-16 are prefabricated to the maximum extend and occupy minimum number of shipping packages. This design reduces the cost of unit transportation and installation at the reconstruction site.
Units stand out in the range of analogues due to its operation and maintenance capability in severe weather conditions. All the future operation conditions, climate pattern, fire and environmental safety requirements, as well as the option of installation on existing foundations are considered in design.
Units have high-performance technical and economic characteristics, which allows to maintain high technical capacity level during gas transportation, they fully meet technical and operational requirements and have an advanced remote control system with high level of security.
GCU-16 has a modular containerized structure, hangar structure is implemented in GTB-16R option.
