CE 3.2 Project Background
CE 3.2.1 Characteristics of the project
The project of South Qurainat Rumaila Temporary Compression Station (QTC) was
developed with perfect design and fabrication. Proper design and careful assembly are crucial
to the long-term success of a reciprocating compression installation, and Wasco excels in this
area. With over three decades of innovation in reciprocating compression package design, we
offer a diverse selection of standards, as well as fully custom packages for worldwide
modular delivery. Wasco manufactures reciprocating compression packages from 20 hp to
10,000 hp. We have designed and built thousands of modules in this range, while seeing a
trend towards larger horsepower, more centralized compression to optimize field operation
and cost also have extensive experience with electric drive motors.
All of our packages meet or exceed all relevant industry standards, including vibration and
pulsation control in the compressor, vessels, piping, cooler, scrubbers, and exhaust system.
Wasco’s extensive experience and engineering knowledge are applied to every element of the
package. This includes well-designed skids that can withstand the dynamic load created by

the torque and interaction of the many moving elements.
Wasco packages Ariel, Dresser Rand, and GE compressors along with Caterpillar and
Waukesha engines. We work closely with Howden Thomassen Compressors B.V. in serving
the low-speed traditionally the API 618 reciprocating compressor market.
CE 3.2.2 Objectives developed for the project
This particular project has various significant objectives. They are as follows:
 To execute the project of gas compressors.
 To understand the entire concept of gas compressors and installation of reciprocating
compression.
CE 3.2.3 My area of work
The project of South Qurainat Rumaila Temporary Compression Station (QTC) was
one of the most important projects in my career. Being a mechanical engineer, I made sure
that the project was executed properly, without any kind of complexities. I was under the
supervision of my project supervisor and the entire project was completed under the control
of our Head of the Department. My major area of work was to reciprocate the compressors
for processing of gases. Moreover, I eve documented the entire project with proper technical
details.

CE 3.2.5 My responsibilities throughout the project
I was an important part of the project. I had various and several roles and
responsibilities throughout this project and I was successful in executing all of them. My first
responsibility was to know about mechanical engineering properly and had to learn about the
basic concepts of gas compressors. I was even responsible for reciprocating the gas
compressors. My next responsibility was to assist my project supervisor in the entire project
and I was happy that I was successful in doing so. Another important responsibility that I had
to execute in this project was providing guidance to my juniors.
CE 3.3 Distinctive Activity
CE 3.3.1 Engineering knowledge and skills applied in the project
I have used basic mechanical skills in this particular project for reciprocating gas
compressors. The first skill that I had used here was the utilization of the software of EPDM
