Wellhead Gas Booster

The MB (Methane Booster) package is specifically designed to boost well head gas flow, equipped with a fully automated, variable-frequency driver control that cost-effectively increases production from coal bed methane and natural gas wells. The Unimac design incorporates a programmable controller that closely monitors suction pressure and discharge pressure, automatically adjusting blower speed through the variable-frequency drive to keep these parameters within safe limits, provide consistent gas flow, and prevent physical damage to the well, blower, flowline, and down-line equipment. The variable-frequency drive system also allows blower performance to be modified quickly to meet changing wellhead conditions.

A touch-screen display allows the operator to view operating conditions or adjust operating parameters. The unit can also be controlled and monitored remotely using optional telemetry satellite or wireless communications modules.

Rotary lobe blowers are ideally suited for “unconventional gas” applications such as enhancing the rate of desorption in shale, coal bed methane wells or Landfill gas extraction.In most cases the rotary lobe blower will produce a one atmosphere (15 PSI) boost from the inlet connection to the outlet, with a maximum discharge pressure up to 25 PSIG. A wide range of gas flows are available within the differential pressure capability of the blowers.

Reliability, ease of maintenance and minimal service were top design criteria priorities. A rotary lobe blower has a dry compression chamber and does not require a separate coolant-sealing circuit like a flooded screw, liquid ring or vane design. Lift-off enclosure panels with quarter turn latches make access for routine service easy.
