NCA Marine Seismic Compressors
NCA Canada is a world leader in the design and manufacturing of Marine Seismic Air Compressors used for powering air guns in Offshore Seismic Exploration programs.
Marine Seismic Air Compressors are a critical part of any offshore seismic survey. The compressors are capable of recharge the seismic air guns continuously and rapidly for a long time, during the seismic data acquisition.
Seismic compressors are installed on seismic ships, normally working in harsh environments, and should be designed to have the minimum possible weight and dimensions. Depending on the pressure and air volumes needed, a Reciprocating Atmospheric Compressor or a compound system of both Rotary Screw and Reciprocating Piston Compressors may be utilized.
Offshore Seismic Compressors are designed to have high availability and low maintenance needs to enable a continuous and reliable seismic survey operation in the oceans.
Design Features of Offshore Seismic Compressors
NCA Seismic Air Compressors are designed for harsh marine operating conditions, are rugged and compact. Our standard products offer a range of volumes from 50 to 3,000 SCFM and pressures to 3,000 PSIG, but we can also supply other specified capacities, pressures and specifications upon request.
NCA Canada offers a variety of options, features, and customizations for Marine Seismic Air Compressors to suit our customer’s specific project needs. NCA seismic compressors may use different cooling options including air, seawater, or keel cooling systems and can be supplied with diesel or electric drivers. Skid base mounted or containerized enclosures can be delivered upon request.
NCA also manufactures Offshore Air Compressors used in offshore platforms and rigs.
