Manufacturers and engineers face growing challenges as technology develops. Ever more stringent limits on emissions are driving changes in industry operating practices, while new emerging applications such as shale gas and coal bed methane impose demands for operation under high pressures and temperatures. This congress showcases the latest fluid machinery technology available and provides a forum for sharing valuable experiences around design, operation and maintenance. examine the latest developments in fluid machinery technologyexplore opportunities to network and share experiences around
