Christine M. Scrivner

Senior Research Scientist
(210) 522-2553
E-mail: Christine Scrivner

B.S., Physics, University of Texas at
San Antonio, 1989

Mrs. Scrivner specializes in the acoustic and mechanical design of reciprocating and centrifugal compressor and pump installations. She assisted with the original development and implementation of SwRI's digital acoustic/compressor modeling software for the design and analysis of pulsation control systems and continues to assist in the development of new technologies. Mrs. Scrivner has conducted numerous system design studies for applications worldwide using state-of-the-art modeling tools to minimize pulsations and optimize compressor or pump performance. Mrs. Scrivner has participated in performance and diagnostic testing of large reciprocating compressors operating in natural gas transmission pipeline and storage applications. She has also taught numerous courses in pulsation control design techniques. In addition, Mrs. Scrivner has published several papers on compressor performance and design and has a patent pending in a new pulsation control technology.

Mrs. Scrivner is an active member of the API (American Petroleum Institute) Subcommittee on Mechanical Equipment and sits on the organizing committees for the Gas Machinery Conference and the Gulf South Rotating Machinery Symposium.

MEMBERSHIPS: API 618 Task Force, RP 688 Task Force, and API Subcommittee on Mechanical Equipment, 2005-present; Gas Machinery Conference (GMC) Planning Committee, 2004-present; Gulf South Rotating Machinery Symposium (GSRMS) Organizing Committee, 2007-present.
