Abstract: In May of 1991, an 8000 horsepower integral variable frequency electric motor driven centrifugal compressor (MOPICO) was started up at Transcos Compressor Station in Billingsley, Alabama. This paper shall describe the operating experience of the unit to date. To briefly review the design of the MOPICO, the unit consists of a 10 000 RPM variable frequency driven electric motor. The motor pulls approximately 6000 KW at 10,000 RPM. The motor is integrally coupled to two high efficiency centrifugal compressors, one on each end. The motor shaft is supported by three magnetic bearing assemblies, two which levitate the rotor on two axes on a 45 degree bias from horizontal and vertical and one which positions the rotor in the Z or axial plane (see Figure 1).
