# COMPRESSION OPTIMIZATION IS HARD

### OUR EXPERTS CAN HELP!

### AVOID PACKING FAILURES IN YOUR COMPRESSOR ROD PACKING SYSTEM BY OPTIMIZING YOUR GAS COMPRESSOR WITH THE RIGHT FLOW METER

Mechanical seal maintenance prediction is achievable with the right data. Use flow rates of packing vent leaks to avoid packing failures. Our Application Optimizer for Gas Compressors identifies key flow measurement points to help you get ahead of the curve. 

### optimization benefits with THERMAL MASS FLOW METERs

Emissions due to packing vent leakage are putting you at risk of environmental fines. Without accurate flow measurement, you may be misreporting methane emissions if your system isn't optimized.

Other critical issues are high fuel consumption, blowdown event emissions, and allocation miscalculations.
