Typical Process Applications
Liquefied Gas Transfer
The compressor can be used to facilitate the transfer of liquefied gas between storage vessels, process equipment and transportation systems by creating the required pressure differential.
Loading and Unloading
Suitable for integration into loading and unloading systems where controlled gas compression is required during the movement of LPG, ammonia and other volatile liquefied gases.
Residual Gas Recovery
The compressor can support the recovery of residual gas from vessels, pipelines and process systems, helping improve gas recovery and reduce unnecessary gas losses.
Storage Tank Pressure Management
The compressor can be incorporated into systems requiring controlled gas movement and pressure management associated with liquefied gas storage.
Pressure Boosting
The unit can be used as a pressure-boosting compressor where the process requires an increase in gas pressure before downstream transfer or processing.
Safety and Process Considerations
Liquefied gases such as ammonia, propane and butane require appropriate engineering controls due to their pressure, volatility, flammability and/or toxicity characteristics.
For safe and reliable operation, the compressor installation should incorporate suitable:
- Pressure relief and protection systems
- Gas-compatible piping and sealing components
- Isolation valves
- Pressure and temperature monitoring
- Gas detection systems where required
- Ventilation arrangements
- Electrical equipment suitable for the hazardous area classification, where applicable
- Emergency shutdown provisions
- Proper grounding and bonding
- Gas-specific operating and maintenance procedures
The final compressor configuration should always be selected according to the actual gas composition, suction and discharge conditions, temperature, flow requirement, hazardous-area classification and applicable safety standards.
