Compressors How to Achieve High Reliability & Availability

Compressors How to Achieve High Reliability & Availability offers proven solutions to a pervasive and expensive problem in modern industry-compressor failure. This succinct, on-the-job guide addresses elusive causes of compressor failure and clearly maps out permanent remedies you can put to use right away. With a focus on centrifugal and reciprocating compressors, this accessible reference is based on real-world processes and procedures used by successful global companies.

As involved compressor specialists, we are under no illusion as to what people do with technical books when they are overwhelmed by their sheer volume. Books are tools, and all tools are useless unless they are being used. Likewise, books are of no value until they are being read. And, to paraphrase Mark Twain, the person who refuses to read is as illiterate as the person who cannot read.

After we retired from our respective jobs as regional machinery specialists for the petrochemical segment of one of the world’s largest multinational petrochemical and oil refining corporations, we teamed up to write several successful texts on equipment reliability and failure analysis. Fred Geitner represented the corporate reliability interests in Canadian and Heinz Bloch did similar work in the United States. As coauthors we carried over into “semi-retirement” what we had learned in over 100 man-years of work exposure. We did indeed spend 100 man-years in industry after graduating from technical universities as mechanical engineers in the early 1960s.
