Case Study CO-6209: Compressor Package
Scope & Purpose
This compressor package consists of an integral-gear compressor coupled to an expansion turbine. This custom-designed combined machine package is used to give air separation plants a high degree of product flexibility and energy efficiency – much more than is available from a conventional plant.
This allows for compression of various plant streams to meet desired levels of product pressure and quantity, and at the same time directly use energy recovered from cryogenic gas expansion through the turbine.
