Dover's COOK CLEAN system doubles compressor life, cuts emissions

The sealing technology helped a natural gas storage facility overcome premature compressor failures, achieving four years of continuous operation while reducing fugitive emissions to near-zero levels

- 

As part of Dover Precision Components, Cook Compression delivers advanced sealing solutions under the COOK CLEAN® brand, which has become an industry benchmark for reducing fugitive emissions and extending compressor reliability.

By combining engineered products with responsive service and technical expertise, Cook Compression supports customers worldwide in meeting increasingly stringent performance and environmental standards.

Against this backdrop, one natural gas storage facility was facing a critical challenge.

Four compressors in a natural gas storage facility were experiencing premature failure due to leakage through the rod rings and packing cups on OEM-installed packing cases.

The customer required a minimum two-year continuous run time on all equipment and the compressors were falling short on the MTBR (mean time between repair), resulting in unplanned downtime.
