Centrifugal Compressors for the Steel Industry

Requisitos y aplicaciones de la industria

Steel production depends on reliable compressed air to keep critical plant systems operating.

Steel facilities rely on compressed air for instrumentation, valve actuation, and pneumatic equipment. At sites with air separation units, compressed air also supports industrial gas production. Each application requires the appropriate pressure, flow, and air quality to maintain dependable operation.

Continuous production schedules and changing plant demand make compressor reliability and energy efficiency essential. Systems must meet operating requirements while helping control energy consumption, simplify maintenance, and accommodate future capacity needs.

Instrument & Control Air

Provides compressed air for pneumatic instruments, control valves, and actuators used to regulate plant processes.

Separación de aire

Supplies feed air to air separation units producing industrial gases for steelmaking. Compressor requirements depend on the separation process and the facility’s gas production needs.

Plant Pneumatic Systems

Powers pneumatic tools and equipment used in production and maintenance, with air supply matched to each application’s operating requirements.

Titulación

El riesgo de que el aceite residual llegue al producto final o de que la contaminación del aceite en las líneas de equipos provoque un mayor mantenimiento y tiempo de inactividad se evita con un compresor centrífugo. El condensado generado por un compresor centrífugo no está sujeto a las mismas regulaciones locales que el condensado contaminado con aceite, lo que permite su eliminación fácil y económica.
