Applied Technology Capabilities - The D-R Advantage

D-R offers the following Applied Technology product and service solutions to all brands of centrifugal and axial compressors:

Revamps – D-R can modify your equipment by incorporating new or remanufactured components, materials, and assemblies to accommodate changes in your current equipment operating conditions, improve your operating efficiency, and remove process bottlenecks.

Product upgrades – D-R offers innovative components as recommended upgrades that can help minimize maintenance costs and maximize reliability and availability.

Site equipment audits – We determine the existing condition of your installed unit and offer recommendations to improve operation, reliability, and efficiency.

Engineered coatings – Coatings for process equipment have historically been applied by aftermarket suppliers with extensive knowledge of coating formulation but no background in the operation of the units they are coating or the impact a coating or its application process will have on the equipment components or unit design. 

Field analysis and problem-solving – We collect field data and perform an inspection of the equipment – either while it is running or during a shutdown. Using our comprehensive resources and past experience, we analyze the problem and are able to propose reliable solutions to meet your requirements.

Welding technology – We have recently seen an increased use and acceptance of turbo shaft weld repairing in the industry that is being driven by the general emphasis on operating and maintaining existing capital equipment. Successfully completed shaft repairs throughout the world have revealed that shaft weld repair is a viable alternative to retirement. D-R's welding technology and expertise make it a leader in the weld repair industry.

Repairs – Factory support and procedures are available in our strategically located service centers throughout the world. We can fully evaluate repair situations and complete component repairs that meet or exceed original equipment specifications at your site or one of ours. 

Remanufactured units – D-R's experience in reconditioning existing rotating machinery to make it suitable for a new application is seen through its remanufacturing capabilities. Our remanufacturing professionals provide applications support, equipment selection, inspections, recommendations, and advice on process equipment reapplications.

Operation and Maintenance (O&M) – We can provide O&M services to meet a variety of your needs that include complete compression systems along with the balance of plant facilities for all brands of your rotating equipment. O&M takes complete responsibility for plant operations and maintenance, including the appropriate performance guarantees.

Field installation and service – D-R has a track record in service and support that stretches over decades. We tailor our installation services to meet your needs and are there to help you receive, install, and commission your equipment to meet operational specifications. D-R’s Field Support Services (FSS) team is there when and where you need it, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year – no matter where you are.
