Ensuring Reliability and Safety

MSI engineering consultants have served the oil and gas industry for 25 years from upstream to downstream, helping to ensure the safety and reliability of pumps, turbines, fans, compressors, motors, valves, and actuators by reliably solving any vibration, dynamics, or performance problems that are found from extraction to transportation to refining.

MSI engineering consultants have extensive experience working in the demanding environments common to the oil and gas business, and understand and assist with the development issues of the industry, including safety and reliability of aging plants, assisting with specifications for new equipment and plants, resolving chronic issues such as small-bore piping vibration, and helping to mitigate resonance associated with changing product densities and flowrates.
