About Us


RTS is an All-Inclusive Recip Resource - No Matter the Brand

Recently our field crews and support team were engaged in an interesting mix of major engine and compressor overhauls, gear train replacements and bearing/compressor rod replacements. What was so fascinating was that these were all very different types of rotating reciprocating equipment from different OEMs and clients.

Reciprocating Technology Services (RTS) serves upstream, midstream and downstream operators, and is part of the TTS Energy Services group of companies which also includes Turbine Technology Services (TTS).

Located in Northwest Houston, Texas, RTS can handle an extraordinary range of projects from swing engines and overhauls to parts distribution.

Danny Clagg
Sales Manager, Appalachia Region

Danny joined RTS in 2019. His career began with Sulzer as a machinist where his responsibilities included training new employees in the operation of CNC and manual equipment, working as a millwright installing/troubleshooting machines and machine tools, and designing/fabricating machine tooling and fixtures. This grassroots experience proved to be an excellent foundation for a thirty+ year career dealing with heavy equipment of every description and how they functioned.

For the last ten years, he has been engaged in sales and sales management with BHGE, Cameron and IMF developing business and relationships throughout the East Coast and Southern states. His stellar reputation is based on trust and a deep understanding of what the operators he helped were needing to maintain and operate their equipment reliably.

Operators have depended on Larry to solve their problems with onshore and offshore integrals, separables and compressors for over four decades. In that time, he has managed several hundred projects-assembling, installing and commissioning units across the globe.

Larry specialized in clean-burn Cooper Bessemer engine models, upgrades and total operational capabilities but is very familiar with rotating equipment of every description including gas turbines, rotating compressors and ancillary equipment.
