The ZW-1.0/8-10 Isobutylene Compressor is an industrial reciprocating compressor designed for the efficient handling of isobutylene, LPG and other low-boiling, volatile hydrocarbon media.

With a processing capacity of 1.0 m³/min, an inlet pressure of 0.8 MPa.G, an inlet temperature of up to 40°C, and an exhaust pressure of 1.0 MPa.G, the compressor provides a practical solution for gas transfer, storage, recovery and process applications.

The unit is powered by a 15 kW main motor and has a compact overall size of approximately 1650 × 650 × 1050 mm, with an approximate weight of 650 kg. Its compact configuration allows integration into a variety of industrial gas handling systems.

The ZW-1.0/8-10 can be applied in LPG storage and distribution stations, mixing stations, gasification plants, filling facilities and automobile refueling stations, as well as chemical gas handling applications involving compatible volatile media.

Technical Specifications

Final configuration and operating parameters should be confirmed according to the actual gas composition, process conditions, flow requirement, pressure, temperature and project-specific engineering requirements.

Key Features & Advantages

Oil-Free & Contamination-Controlled Compression

The ZW-1.0/8-10 incorporates an oil-free lubrication design intended to prevent compressor oil from entering the processed medium.

This makes the compressor suitable for applications where gas purity and contamination control are important, particularly when handling isobutylene, LPG and other hydrocarbon gases.

D-Type Symmetrical Balance Structure

The D-type symmetrical balance configuration is designed to help balance operating forces and reduce vibration during compressor operation.

This contributes to stable mechanical operation and supports the service life of components such as pistons and cylinders.

Efficient Industrial Operation

The compressor is designed for efficient operation with a degree of automation intended to reduce unnecessary manual intervention during normal operation.

Its configuration is suitable for continuous industrial gas compression and transfer applications.

Compact Equipment Design

With approximate dimensions of 1650 × 650 × 1050 mm, the compressor offers a compact footprint for integration into LPG stations, chemical facilities and other gas handling installations.

Reduced Maintenance Requirements

The compressor’s design is intended to reduce the number of frequently wearing components and simplify routine inspection and maintenance.

Accessible equipment components can support easier servicing and help reduce unnecessary downtime.

Low-Vibration Operation

The balanced compressor structure is designed to support relatively low vibration and stable operation, which can be beneficial in industrial facilities where equipment operating conditions and surrounding working environments need to be considered.

Drive Options

The standard electric motor drive can be adapted for specific project requirements, with diesel engine drive available for applications where suitable electrical power is not readily available.

Compatible Gas Applications

In addition to isobutylene and LPG applications, the compressor configuration may be suitable for other compatible low-boiling or volatile media.

The source specifications identify applications involving:

• Butane
• Isobutane
• Butadiene
• Isoprene
• Mixed Butane / Isobutane / n-Pentane
• Vinyl Chloride
• Chloromethane
• Ethylene Oxide
• Propylene Oxide
• Dimethylamine

For toxic, corrosive or chemically reactive gases, the final compressor configuration must be specifically engineered according to the gas properties, material compatibility, sealing requirements and operating conditions.

Applications

LPG Storage & Distribution Stations

The ZW-1.0/8-10 can be integrated into LPG storage and distribution systems for applications such as:

• LPG loading
• LPG unloading
• LPG transfer
• Residual gas recovery
• Storage pressure management

LPG Mixing Stations

The compressor can provide controlled compression for LPG mixing processes involving compatible gas streams.

It can support systems where consistent gas transfer and pressure control are required during blending operations.

Gasification Plants

The compressor can be incorporated into gasification facilities handling LPG and compatible volatile gases, supporting gas transfer between storage and process equipment.

Canning & Cylinder Filling Facilities

The compressor can be used in suitable gas filling and canning systems where controlled gas compression and transfer are required for cylinder or container filling operations.

Automobile LPG Refueling Stations

The ZW-1.0/8-10 can be considered for LPG refueling installations requiring controlled gas transfer and compression between storage systems and vehicle fueling equipment.

Chemical Gas Applications

The compressor can also be considered for selected chemical and petrochemical gas applications involving compatible media.

Potential applications include handling of:

Mixed Butane / Isobutane / n-Pentane

Suitable for selected hydrocarbon gas handling and transfer systems where the gas properties fall within the compressor’s design parameters.

Vinyl Chloride / Chloromethane

Applications involving toxic or chemically sensitive gases require specialized sealing, materials and safety configurations.

Ethylene Oxide / Propylene Oxide

These applications require careful engineering consideration of material compatibility, sealing, process safety and operating conditions.

Dimethylamine

For corrosive or hazardous chemical gases, the compressor configuration should be specifically selected according to the gas properties and process requirements.

Safety Optimization for Volatile Media

The handling of isobutylene, LPG and other volatile hydrocarbon gases requires appropriate process safety measures.

The compressor configuration can incorporate safety-oriented engineering features such as suitable sealing systems, pressure protection and hazardous-area-compatible equipment where required.

For applications involving toxic or corrosive gases, specialized material and sealing selection is particularly important.

Depending on the project, the complete system may require:

• Explosion-proof motor and electrical equipment
• Pressure relief valves
• Gas-tight sealing systems
• Gas detection
• Emergency shutdown systems
• Appropriate ventilation
• Pressure and temperature monitoring
• Grounding and bonding
• Gas-compatible piping and seals

The final safety configuration should be determined according to the actual gas characteristics, hazardous-area classification, applicable standards and project-specific requirements.
