In this project, they asked ADT to help with design optimisation of an industrial compressor stage including a shrouded impeller, a low-solidity vaned diffuser and a de-swirl vane.   ![Industrial_Compressor](https://blog.adtechnology.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2021%20Publications/Consultancy%20Summary/Redesign%20of%20an%20Industrial%20Compressor%20Stage/Industrial_Compressor.png?width=279&name=Industrial_Compressor.png) ***Fig. 1. **Compressor stage configuration.*   **“This design project also showed the flexibility and convenience of the code to modify the blade geometrical parameters.”** The client provided ADT with a baseline compressor design. The design focused on optimizing the compressor performance in terms of efficiency, operating range (i.e. Stall and choke margins) and pressure ratio.
