n-Pentane Gas Transportation
The compressor can be incorporated into systems where n-pentane gas needs to be transferred between process equipment, storage systems or other sections of an industrial gas network.
Its 3.0 m³/min processing capacity and 10-to-16 bar pressure range provide the compression capability required for suitable transportation applications, subject to the complete process design.
n-Pentane Gas Storage
The ZW-3/10-16 can be integrated into n-pentane gas storage systems where controlled compression and pressure management are required.
The compressor can support gas movement between storage and process equipment while maintaining the pressure conditions required by the downstream system.
Hydrocarbon Gas Handling
The compressor is suitable for industrial environments where hydrocarbon gases need to be compressed, transferred or stored.
Its oil-free configuration can be advantageous for processes where contamination control and reduced maintenance are important considerations.
Chemical & Petrochemical Applications
The ZW-3/10-16 can be considered for integration into chemical and petrochemical process systems involving n-pentane and compatible hydrocarbon gas streams.
Typical project applications may include:
- Process gas compression
- Gas transfer
- Storage pressure management
- Hydrocarbon recovery systems
- Gas circulation systems
- Industrial gas handling
The suitability of the compressor for any specific hydrocarbon should be confirmed based on gas composition, flammability characteristics, operating temperature, pressure, material compatibility and hazardous-area requirements.
Safety Considerations
n-Pentane is a highly flammable hydrocarbon, so compression and storage systems require appropriate process safety engineering.
Depending on the installation, the complete system should incorporate suitable:
- Explosion-protected electrical equipment
