Recorded Webinars

Near Zero Emissions for Net Zero Goals

Near Zero Emissions for Net-Zero Goals

As the regulatory landscape evolves towards more stringent emission requirements, compressor manufacturers, owners, and operators seek reliable solutions to help them comply with government mandates and corporate ESG goals. In this webinar, Cook Compression will explain the drivers behind developing the COOK CLEAN® Sealing System, which reduces fugitive emissions to near-zero levels, and share a success story about the benefits a Southern California gas distributor achieved when they installed the system.
Technical Challenges for Reciprocating Hydrogen Compressors

Technical Challenges for Reciprocating Hydrogen Compressors

Many sustainability experts believe that there can be no climate solution without clean hydrogen while energy experts know there can be no clean hydrogen without compression. However, successful hydrogen compression presents unique challenges due to an operating environment of high pressures, temperatures, and purity. Overcoming these challenges will require a novel approach to product development and a new generation of equipment that utilizes advanced components.
How Advanced Materials Can Enhance Reciprocating Compressor Performance

Expect More: How Adanced Materials Can Enhance Reciprocating Compressor Performance

Efficient, reliable reciprocating compressor performance depends heavily on the appropriate application of materials for critical components such as packing and piston rings. This webinar will provide insight into the materials science associated with the development, testing and application of advanced polymer composites for reciprocating compressors, including non-lubricated applications. Particular focus will be given to key material properties and selection criteria, and how the latest advances enhance durability and effectiveness.
Minimizing Fugitive Emissions and the Carbon Footprint of Reciprocating Compressors

Minimizing Fugitive Emissions and the Carbon Footprint of Reciprocating Compressors

Hydrocarbon gas leakage from oil and gas compression machinery has been cited as a major contributor of greenhouse gases by both the US EPA and DOE. This 2-part series explores potential leak sources in a reciprocating compressor and how improvements can be made, either through new technology or improved maintenance practices. 
Failure Modes, Wear Patterns, and Maintenance Best Practices

Failure Modes, Wear Patterns and Maintenance Best Practices

This 2-part series takes an in-depth look at compressor valve failures and common failure mechanisms for rod rings. Our experts will introduce critical steps you can take to prevent failures and address frequent causes of wear.
Addressing Common Reciprocating Compressor Challenges

Addressing Common Reciprocating Compressor Challenges

This 3-part series covers best practices for valve maintenance, explores the factors affecting component life, and presents the fundamentals of packing case operation and ways to reduce leakage along the piston rod. Time is set aside to discuss effective packing case sealing when a compressor is in standby mode.
