Harnessing untapped capacity reserves
From oil and gas to process industries to power generation, plants across sectors utilize engines and equipment in different ways to serve their respective markets. Yet, all share a common concern. From the moment of commissioning, operators straddle the gap between designed capacity and anticipated demand.
Solutions that support a nimble strategic response to market challenges
Battling uncertainty and volatility in their respective markets, companies across industries seek to identify the best way to activate capacity reserves. They need solutions that support a more agile strategic response to the challenges in their respective markets. Innovative retrofits, revamps, and upgrades are the go-to solutions at their disposal to futureproof their investment and realign capacity with their business development priorities.

- Marine applications
Utilize energy
More capacity for less energy
Policy shifts on nuclear and fossil-fuel burning plants affect legacy power stations’ profitability in a transforming energy landscape. They are far from alone in facing challenges in managing new business models and valuable legacies. Oil and gas and process industries are under increasing pressure to show how their utilization of energy contributes toward greener and cleaner targets. Capacity solutions can contribute to optimizing the environmental footprint
MAN PrimeServ’s portfolio of capacity solutions that boost energy efficiency includes:
- Drive power increase
- Backpressure conversion
- Turbocharger retrofit for GenSets
Enhance flexibility
As dynamics in markets worldwide speed up, lacking flexibility in leveraging capacity comes with potentially profit-draining consequences for players across almost all sectors. Power stations’ ability to feed into grids shaped by intermittent renewable energy hinges on their capability for ramp-ups and efficient partial load operations. Similarly, the operational flexibility of process industries and oil and gas companies benefits from capacity solutions that optimize machine trains for the operation at Best Effciency Point (BEP, for short) while broadening the BEP range.
MAN PrimeServ’s portfolio of capacity solutions that enhance flexibility includes:
- Thermodynamic optimization
- Modification of gear type compressors
