Hyper compressor OEM services and fruitful longtime cooperation with BYCListenelement 1
"Burckhardt Compression is pleased to present insights into how first-class services can be maintained among the rapidly growing number of LDPE plants in operation in China.
Learn how an effective set up and organization are key meeting increasing customer demands for LDPE compressor equipment. You can also explore our service portfolio and selected high quality products in an interactive “marketplace” format, with different booths enabling direct exchange and discussion.
In addition to our services, we will conclude the workshop with an exclusive inside view into a cooperation with BYC, a Chinese LDPE plant operator in Nanjing. This plant is equipped with a monitored cylinder, giving us a unique opportunity to gain insights into the behavior of high-pressure packings under real operating conditions."

From Signal to Action: Practical Diagnostics in Hyper Compressor OperationListenelement 3
"This session focuses on practical diagnostic strategies for hyper compressor operation, emphasizing early detection of performance degradation through vibration profiles, temperature trends, and key operating parameters. By correlating real time condition data with component behavior, participants will learn how to identify emerging failure indicators before they escalate. The presentation highlights methods to prevent unplanned shutdowns, increase equipment reliability, and significantly extend the mean time between compressor stops.
In addition, selected case studies will be presented to show how targeted diagnostic techniques have successfully prevented critical failures, further improved equipment reliability, and extended the mean time between compressor stops."

Mitigating Vibrations and Pressure Pulsations in High-Pressure LDPE and EVA Plants: Lessons from Real-World Case StudiesListenelement 4
This Workshop explores how to identify and mitigate vibrations and pressure pulsations in high‑pressure LDPE and EVA plants. It begins with an overview of production processes and the critical role of managing compressor‑related dynamic issues. Fundamental sources and effects of vibrations and pulsations are outlined. Three real-world case studies illustrate common challenges: standing waves causing pipe vibrations, mechanical resonances during commissioning, and plant-wide vibration optimization. Each case highlights measurement techniques, root‑cause analysis, and effective mitigation strategies. The session concludes with key lessons learned and best practices for improving reliability, equipment life, and safety in high‑pressure plants.

From Lab to Application – Transferring Fundamentals in High Pressure Polymerization TechnologyListenelement 4
"The enormous scale of LDPE plants makes it difficult to develop new products and processes directly on the production line. To make this possible nonetheless, it often makes sense to break down an idea into smaller sub-questions and test them in the laboratory. In this workshop, we will demonstrate this approach for three specific areas:
• Mini Plants: These are useful for generating kinetic data to characterize processes and products or for testing the efficiency of peroxide cocktails.
• Pilot Studies: These allow for the introduction of new substances into the process and the study of their effects.
• Deflagration studies: These provide a better understanding of the gentle operation of plants and enable the estimation of shifts in operating limits resulting from the introduction of new substances."
