OsComp has developed a breakthrough multiphase compression technology that significantly reduces the operating and capital costs of wellhead production of natural gas. Multiphase flow is a condition that exists in the OsComp technology, but is uncommon in other commercially available compressors. Currently available valves are not explicitly designed to meet the specifications required by OsComp for lifetime and optimal compressor efficiency. The goal is to identify or develop a valve that meets OsComp goals for compressor operating conditions, including the ability to handle multiphase flow.
