The Facility, Part 9: Gas Compression
One compressor trips; the neighbouring train surges. Build compression from energy, real-gas behaviour, staging and intercooling into reciprocating and centrifugal machines. Maps, anti-surge control, parallel load sharing, dry gas seals, lubrication and drivers connect machine physics to plant reliability. Part 9 of 16 in The Facility. Corran Point, its characters, companies and story figures are fictional and illustrative.
