ZW-1.0/16-24 Liquefied Gas Compressor for Ammonia and LPG Applications

High-Performance Reciprocating Compressor for Liquefied Gas Transfer, Recovery & Pressure Boosting

The ZW-1.0/16-24 Liquefied Gas Compressor is a compact reciprocating piston compressor designed for the controlled transfer, recovery, and pressure boosting of low-boiling and volatile gas media.

The compressor is suitable for applications involving ammonia (NH₃), propane, butane, butene, LPG and similar liquefied gases. It can be integrated into gas storage, transfer, loading and unloading, pressure boosting, redistribution, and residual gas recovery systems.

With a rated flow capacity of 1.0 m³/min, an inlet pressure of 1.6 MPa.G, and a discharge pressure of up to 2.4 MPa.G, the ZW-1.0/16-24 provides a practical compression solution for industrial liquefied gas handling applications.

Its compact footprint of approximately 1300 × 800 × 1050 mm and weight of around 500 kg make it suitable for installations where efficient equipment layout and convenient integration are important considerations.

Technical Specifications

Final operating parameters and configuration should be confirmed according to the gas composition, operating conditions, process requirements, and project-specific technical specification.

Suitable for Gas Transfer and Recovery

The compressor can be incorporated into systems for liquefied gas transfer, storage tank pressure management, loading and unloading, redistribution and residual gas recovery.

Flexible Application Across Multiple Gas Media

The ZW-1.0/16-24 can be configured for different liquefied gas applications, subject to compatibility and project-specific operating requirements. Typical media include ammonia, propane, butane, butene and LPG.

Industrial Equipment Integration

The compact compressor package can be integrated into existing or new industrial gas handling systems, including storage facilities, transfer stations, chemical processing plants and LPG-related installations.

Applications

The ZW-1.0/16-24 Liquefied Gas Compressor can be used across a range of industrial and commercial gas handling applications, including:

• Ammonia gas transfer systems
• LPG storage and transfer facilities
• Propane transfer systems
• Butane handling and transfer
• Butene gas handling processes
• Liquefied gas loading and unloading stations
• LPG redistribution systems
• Residual gas recovery
• Gas storage pressure management
• Chemical processing facilities
• Industrial gas handling systems
• Liquefied gas recovery applications

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.
