Description
In the mid 1970s Equistar Chemicals, LP bought two gas compressors from Dresser-Rand Company. Equistar operated the compressors as part of a chemical manufacturing process. The compressors, OP-I and OP-II, are large gas compression units containing many component parts. Impellers, which resemble large fan blades, are essential parts of the compressors. In 1989 Dresser upgraded the compressors by increasing the size of the existing impellers from 42 inches to 44 inches. While the compressors functioned without major difficulties before the upgrade, afterwards the impellers failed to various degrees in 1991, 1993, and 1995. To address the recurring failures Equistar decided to revert to the 42-inch impellers, but sought to maintain the higher output achieved by the 44-inch impellers. Accordingly, Equistar retained Dresser to trim an impeller that Equistar purchased from Dresser in 1991 from 44 inches to 42 inches and install it on OP-I. To effectuate Equistars goal to achieve the higher output with the 42-inch impeller, Dresser advised Equistar to operate the 42-inch impeller at a higher speed than the speed at which it was originally operated.
