LPG Transfer & Unloading Solution
LPG handling facilities often require controlled pressure differences between transport vessels and storage tanks to facilitate efficient product transfer.
The ZW-3.0/16-24 can be incorporated into LPG transfer systems to support:
LPG Tanker Truck Unloading
The compressor can be used to create the required pressure differential for LPG tanker unloading, helping transfer LPG from transport vehicles into storage tanks.
LPG Storage Tank Transfer
The compressor can support controlled LPG movement between storage tanks and downstream filling or processing systems.
Residual Gas Recovery
After unloading operations, residual LPG vapour can remain within transport or storage equipment. The compressor can be incorporated into suitable residual gas recovery systems to recover usable gas and reduce product losses.
LPG Cylinder Filling Systems
The compressor can be integrated into selected LPG cylinder filling and gas handling systems, depending on the plant configuration.
LPG Distribution Facilities
The unit can support LPG transfer operations within storage terminals, distribution stations, and filling facilities.
Key Design Features
Designed for LPG & Liquefied Gas Handling
The ZW-3.0/16-24 is designed for applications involving LPG and similar liquefied petroleum gases, where reliable sealing, controlled pressure, and stable gas displacement are important.
The compressor can be considered for applications involving gases such as:
- LPG
- Propane
- Butane
- Similar liquefied petroleum gas media
Final material compatibility and compressor configuration should be verified according to the actual gas composition and operating conditions.
Reciprocating Piston Compression
The compressor utilizes a reciprocating piston compression mechanism to provide controlled gas displacement during LPG transfer operations.
The piston configuration supports:
- Stable gas flow
- Controlled pressure increase
- Reliable transfer operation
- Continuous-duty capability
- Suitable performance for LPG handling systems
Oil-Free Compression Configuration
The compressor incorporates an oil-free compression configuration intended to minimize the possibility of lubricating oil entering the compression chamber and gas stream.
This can help reduce the risk of lubricant contamination and is particularly useful for applications where maintaining the quality of the transferred LPG gas is important.
Compact Installation
The ZW-3.0/16-24 can be incorporated into LPG handling packages where equipment footprint and installation efficiency are important considerations.
The compressor can be integrated with associated:
- LPG piping
- Isolation valves
- Pressure control equipment
- Safety valves
- Instrumentation
- Storage tanks
- Transfer lines
- Control systems
The final arrangement can be customized according to the LPG facility layout and process requirements.
