Dresser-Rand to supply gas transmission equipment

Dominion Transmission has awarded Dresser-Rand contracts totaling nearly $1.8 million to supply gas engine emission equipment for Dresser-Rand's 14 engines at three of the company's natural gas transmission and storage stations in Pennsylvania.

Dresser-Rand will provide Dominion with 14 lean-burn conversion packages equipped with Dresser-Rand's patented SIP™ (Screw-In-Precombustion Chamber).

The equipment will be used to lower reciprocating gas engine exhaust emissions. Dresser-Rand will also be responsible for turbocharger high-performance upgrades at one of the stations.

Dominion Transmission, headquartered in Clarksburg, West Virginia, is the interstate gas transmission subsidiary of Dominion Inc. Primarily a provider of gas transportation and storage services, Dominion Transmission operates the world's largest underground natural gas storage system. The company has links to other major pipelines and to markets in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the United States.

Dresser-Rand's Painted Post, New York, facility will manufacture the equipment and the company's Houston Service Center will be responsible for the turbocharger upgrades. The packages are scheduled for delivery by June 2001. Four units each will be converted at Dominion Transmission's Leidy Station in Renovo, PA, and Sabinsville Station in Sabinsville, PA. The company's Ellisburg Station in Genesee, PA, will convert six units.

Dresser-Rand is a leader in energy conversion technology, with field-proven centrifugal and reciprocating compressors, steam turbines, expanders, gas turbine packages, and control systems. The company is positioned to deliver a complete package of solutions, from initial concept to equipment retirement for the oil and gas, chemical, and petrochemical industries.
