FFP™; unique design, proven technology
The Free Floating Piston (FFP™) has long proven itself. Thomassen invented and marketed this special piston in 1998 and has built quite a reference list ever since.
Our Service group provides a range of specialist services that help optimise the availability and reliability of your reciprocating and rotating equipment.
Our Revamp department offers the following services:
• Compressor upgrades, including:
- Hydraulic Fit connections at both ends of the piston rod
(for easy maintenance of parts that wear),
- Thomassen's unique FFP™ technology (click here for benefits);
• supply of new parts to accommodate changes in process parameters;
• installation of monitoring systems to measure rod drop, impact on distance pieces and valve temperature, resulting in reduction of maintenance operations;
• hydraulically operated clearance pockets for loss-free, variable capacity control;
• engineering studies and recommendations
(in relation to compressor and/or process gas problems);
• re-rates of reciprocating compressors;
• design, engineering, drafting and manufacture of equipment used in conjunction with lube oil and watercooling systems, main drivers and/or process gas systems.

The above technology and expertise can also be applied to compressors made by other manufacturers.
