The Pipeline Research Council International has funded multiple projects focusing on using reciprocating engine operating data to diagnose combustion problems. This effort extends those techniques on reciprocating compressor units including the gas compressor, main bearings, and ancillary equipment (e. g., turbocharger, aftercooler, pumps). In addition, additional combustion monitoring techniques are described that can be implemented on most existing mainline compressor units used in the industry.
