On the example of several process units of the oil refinery, an analysis was made of the nature of changes in the gas dynamic characteristics of centrifugal compressors that occur as a result of wear (degradation) of the flow part under the influence of erosion, corrosion or chemical processes as a result of the interaction of the compressed gas with the elements of the flow part. A method has been developed for adapting (correcting) the gas-dynamic characteristics of centrifugal compressors based on the introduction of corrective functions with empirical coefficients that take into account the change in the actual state of the flow section.
