Centrifugal Compressors for the Petrochemical Industry

Industry Requirements & Applications

Petrochemical producers are tasked with meeting increasing demands while maintaining safe operating conditions in an extremely hazardous environment.

The demand for petrochemical products is increasing. To stay competitive in the marketplace, petrochemical producers must maximize productivity while minimizing their operating costs. Hazardous site conditions require unique equipment customizations to ensure employee and facility safety. In many cases, compressors operating in petrochemical plants must meet API 672 and Class 1, Division 2.

The risk of trace oil reaching the finished product or oil contamination in equipment lines leading to higher maintenance and downtime is avoided with a centrifugal compressor. Condensate generated from a centrifugal compressor is not subject to the same local regulations as oil-contaminated condensate, allowing for easy and low-cost disposal.

API 614 and API 672 Air Compressor Standards Guide

Compressed air is often called the “4th utility” after electricity, water, and gas, making reliable air compression a critical part of any industrial process. The loss of compressed air can result in costly unplanned downtime, resulting in hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in lost production per day. This is particularly true in many Oil, Gas, Chemical, and Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) applications that rely on compressed air throughout the upstream and downstream processes.
