Early in 1998, the largest gas-processing floating production, storage and offloading system (FPSO) in the world logged a year of service. Moored in 240 ft. of water in the Gulf of Thailand, the Tantawan Explorer has reliably delivered its contracted gas production without a sign of adverse effects from vibration due to its nine reciprocating compressors. The Tantawan Explorer is outfitted with the first reciprocating compressors to be installed on an FPSO. Nine compressors in all are installed, totaling more than 15,000 total hp with capacity rated as 150 MMcfd gas and 50,000 bbl liquids. Special deck structuring and bracing were designed to isolate the effect of vibration from the vessel`s hull.
