Skidded Packages
At Blair Engineering, we can manufacture skidded new-unit packages designed per our standard for non-hazardous areas such as industrial gas plants or for hazardous areas per API 610/614. Our maintenance friendly layout uses stainless steel system piping to maintain cleanliness as well as reduce the amount of time to commission the unit at site.
Aftermarket
At Blair Engineering, we have the knowledge and experience to support all brands of turbo-expanders. No matter if you need a routine repair, capitol spares, an updated control system, or a full redesign for new process conditions we can provide the support that you need. We offer expedited delivery options as well as maintaining a significant stock of parts for common machines.
Field Service
Runtime is critical, and we are acutely aware of it. With service personnel located in various US locations as well as abroad, we can typically have a service technician onsite within 24 hours. Our stock of parts for common machines also gives us the advantage versus our competitors that we will have most common parts required for basic repairs. In the event that a custom parts is required, we leverage our in-house manufacturing to perform quick turnarounds on parts, often within 48 hours.
Design
Blair Engineering's turboexpander designs are capable of operation across a wide range of speed with our stiff-shaft rotor design and robust bearing system, which is manufactured in-house. Our high efficiency compressor impeller designs are quiet in operation and offer a wide range from surge to choke. Blair Engineering's nozzle design utilizes the best features gained from our experience on multiple brands of turbo-expanders, and is a low-friction type design as standard, without sliding pins, and with double shear actuator rod connection. Anti-friction coatings provide long life on all components.
