Edwin Edges Toward Third Jet Driven Compressor Plant
Trans-Canada Pipeline Co. Ltd. at Edwin Manitoba expands with a $2,225,000 project adding a second jet driven compressor powered by an aircraft Rolls Royce engine. Plant A uses two industrial turbines, Plant B a Cooper-Bessemer turbine, boosting total horsepower by 12,000 to reach 41,000. By fall daily gas flow is set to three billion cubic feet. Brown and Root leads a 60 man crew, adding new buildings, office space, warehousing, and an expanded control room with automated monitoring and potential automatic shutdown for faults. Three plants will operate this fall with a likely fourth possible in coming years depending on demand.
