The European Forum for Reciprocating Compressors (EFRC) will host a training workshop in Rijswijk, the Netherlands, on October 20 and 21, 2026.
The program will cover the operation and design of reciprocating compressors. There will also be a dedicated session on CO2 in the energy transition.
Design And Operation Of Reciprocating Compressors
- Typical Applications (Werner Temmink – NAM)
- Design And Construction (Matthew MacWilliams – Siemens)
- Thermodynamics (Gianluca Franco – SIAD)
- Compressor Valves And Wearing Parts (Alessandro Baldussu – Hoerbiger)
- Pulsations And Vibrations (Thijs Krijger – Dynaflow)
- Condition Monitoring (Jan Löken – Prognost)
- Diaphragms And Hydraulic Compressors (Niklas Mirsch – Neuman & Esser)
CO2 In The Energy Transition: Operation, Compression, And Flow Assurance
- End User Perspective On Large-Scale CO2 Projects (Rienk Zwerver – Gasunie)
- CO2 Thermodynamics And Flow Assurance (Stefan Belfroid – TNO)
- CO2 Compression With Reciprocating Compressors (Mufid Mandra – Burckhardt)
- CO2 Compression With Centrifugal Compressors (Kolja Andrej Metz – Everllence)

The EFRC was founded in June 1999 as a non-profit association to support European users, manufacturers, and scientists working with reciprocating compressors in terms of technology, exchange of experience, formation, and enforcement of standards and precompetitive research. Since then, its geographical reach has grown to include all of Europe and the United States. The EFRC acts as a “forum of ideas,” providing the opportunity for members to exchange ideas to further reciprocating compressor technology.
