Exhibitor Interview - Burckhardt Compression
1. Please introduce your company.
Burckhardt Compression Korea Busan Ltd (BCKB), a 100% owned subsidiary of Swiss Burckhardt Compression Group, was established in 2014 in Korea. BCKB has a sales office in Seoul and the main office including factory is located in Busan. BCKB is supplying packaged and bare shaft gas compressors to the Korean shipyards and the local land-based industry. The Korean organization is handling sales, project management, compressor assembly and testing and the packaging of the compressors to compressor skids. BCKB is ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001 certified. Major customers of marine applications are the big Korean Shipyards building LNG carriers and vessels using LNG Boil-Off Gas as fuel. For land installations, our customers are in the petrochemical and oil and gas business. We are further supplying compressors for Hydrogen Mobility applications from H2 Liquefaction to H2 transportation up to H2 fuel stations. |
What brings you to KORMARINE 2023?
We participate in the KORMARINE exhibition to confirm Burckhardt Compressions interest and continuous presence in the Korean Marine Market where our biggest marine customers and suppliers are located. Face to face contact with the players in this market remains important for us and we are happy to welcome you all at our booth.
3. Please introduce the exhibit items you are going to promote at the show.
Burckhardt Compression's leading technology position in the development of high-pressure, oil- free, sealing systems for reciprocating compressors is confirmed by the market introduction of the Laby®-GI Non-Lube Compressor in completely oil-free cylinder execution for delivery pressures of up to 300 bar. The first compression stage of the Laby®-GI Non-Lube Compressor is oil-free, by the labyrinth design principle as applied to very low temperature boil-off gas compression. By employing latest in-house developed ring sealing technology on the following stages 2 to 5, boil-off gas can now be delivered at pressures higher than 300 bar in completely oil-free condition, for direct injection into the MAN ME-GI engine or to an auxiliary re-liquefaction system.
Additional oil separation equipment normally installed at the compressor discharge is no longer necessary. The simplified process design results in a significant improvement of delivered gas quality, while maintaining unimpaired system availability. The multi-stage compressor gas system benefits from having substantially reduced complexity.
Research into the tribology of oil-lubricated and oil-free reciprocating sealing systems, is one of Burckhardt Compression's leading, well-documented, development activities. With applications requiring effective and reliable sealing at pressures up to 3'000 bar, as used for production of low density polyethylene, the correct selection of seals and sealing materials is critical to successful plant operation. Burckhardt Compression is at the forefront of this technology in developing tailor- made sealing elements for demanding applications.
100% oil free compression is the latest addition to the advantages of Burckhardt Boil off gas marine compressors known for low vibrations due to balanced 6 crank design, energy efficiency by use of valve unloaders when operating at lower loads, gas tight crankcase design eliminating any methane slip into the environment and global marine service network providing support the ship operators during the complete lifetime of the vesse
