The Enerflex Edge
Wide-Ranging Abilities
Having designed and built compression packages for over 45 years, Enerflex offers larger horsepower for more centralized compression to optimize field operating costs, and lower horsepower for the slower producing, maturing wells to maximize field production. We manufacture reciprocating compression packages ranging from 20 HP to 10,000 HP.
Key Supplier Partnerships
Enerflex’s strong partnerships with key suppliers and OEMs give us an edge in securing critical inventory and parts quickly. Our global purchasing power ensures better flexibility, passing efficiencies on to our client partners. Plus, we stand by our work, providing trusted, reliable support that others can’t match.
Custom and Comprehensive Services
We offer flexible options, from individual packages to large-scale custom builds. We also provide retrofit, overhaul, and after-market services, ensuring your units and facilities run optimally throughout their lifecycle. Our adaptable approach ensures the right solution for every customer’s needs.
Case Study
3,500 PSIG Acid Gas Injection Compressor and Pump Package
Challenge:
We needed to install a 1,600 HP electric-drive motor to power a six-throw, five-stage Ariel JGK compressor in extremely high sour acid gas service (85% H₂S). The project, located in Wapiti, Alberta, Canada, also required an on-skid LEWA pump for down-hole liquid injection, with all piping and vessels built from stainless steel for added durability.
Solution:
Enerflex installed the 1,600 HP motor with a 300 HP on-skid LEWA diaphragm injection pump, capable of handling the condensing acid gas at the fifth-stage final discharge.
Outcome:
Enerflex successfully achieved its highest percentage of H₂S gas service at 85%, with the on-skid discharge injection pump installed inside the compressor building for liquid injection into the well.
