A centrifugal compressor can become unstable due to changes in flow rate, pressure, molecular weight of gas. Surge can occur without being detected by conventional control systems. This cuts compressor and process efficiency and causing compressor damage. Here is a control system that copes with all surges without incurring such penalties.
