Frequently Asked Questions

What is the business philosophy of CST?

We care to support customers worldwide with engineering, repairs, field services, and modernization solutions for critical rotating equipment, helping them to find solutions to old and new problems. With our design competence and long-standing experience on a great array of machinery types, we focus on enhancing efficiency and reliability reducing carbon footprint and increasing customer value.

Why engineering design is so important for rotating machinery in process plants, both for new equipment and maintenance?

Machinery is the heart of any process plant and is fundamental to determine the performance of the whole plant for many decades from its installation. The performance of machinery depends more than anything else on its design and the state in which it is kept through the maintenance. Therefore, both the original design and the ordinary and extraordinary maintenance shall be performed with robust and permanently updated engineering competence.

Does CST supply general purpose or customized solutions?

CST’s most important asset is the intellectual property accumulated in long years of profession, boosted by a continued R&D work and collected into a structured Technical Know-how repository and a great array of Proprietary Software. For the single specific needs of our customers, both for new equipment and revamping existing units, we utilize our basic well proven know-how to develop robust customized solutions. This basic know-how is utilized as well for solving recurrent problems of existing fleets of our customers.

Which type of machinery is CST in a position to serve?

We have the capability to deal with anexceptionally wide range of machinery that includes reciprocating, turbo andscrew compressors, reciprocating, centrifugal and screw pumps, drivers such assteam and gas turbines.

Is CST linked to any specific technology?

CST is an independent company and is not linkedto any OEM but instead it has its own technology and intellectual property thatplaces at its customers’ disposal within dedicated agreements for thedevelopment of the specific services and supplies. For its part, CST takes all necessary measures to safeguard andmaintain the confidentiality of the proprietary information received from itscustomers.

Does CST deal with just the bare machine or extends its support to its customers also for the BOP?

CST is a multidisciplinary integratedorganization that has the capability to extend its machinery competence to theentire system and to engineer complete packages. CST, with its partners, canalso provide the procurement, construction and testing of complete packagedsystems before shipment to the final site.
