Eight years, zero unplanned downtime
The municipal wastewater treatment plant in Port Washington, Wisconsin, is located on the picturesque shore of Lake Michigan, so it’s essential that their plant performs as designed.
Power plants around the world rely on Atlas Copco fuel gas booster compressors to ensure that natural gas fuel is delivered at the optimal pressure for efficient combustion.
Power plants around the globe, like this one from Astoria Energy, rely on fuel gas boosters from Atlas Copco.
Through the experience gained from having commissioned more than 420 fuel gas booster units around the globe, Atlas Copco has established itself as a go-to solutions provider for this vital market.
Because around-the-clock power delivery is essential, Astoria also chose a comprehensive maintenance package from Atlas Copco in order to keep the fuel gas boosters performing in top condition. The teams from Astoria and Atlas Copco Aftermarket work hand in hand to ensure total dependability.
“The fuel gas boosters are very stable,” says Astoria’s Maintenance Manager Ciector Whitelock. “We particularly like the fact that the compressors seem to protect themselves, preventing unscheduled maintenance or downtime. We have not seen any major compressor failures. The machines are methodical and well designed.”

By using new Atlas Copco equipment for compressed air and gas, the Swedish mining company LKAB Mekaniska has lowered energy costs and carbon emissions, improved the work environment, and increased reliability in operations.
Today, wind power is the world’s fastest growing energy source.
