Suitable Usage of KOBELCO Screw Compressors

Suitable Usage
Oil-Free (Dry) Oil-Injected (Wet)
Difficult Gases Large Process Fluctuation in :
Heavy Hydrocarbon
Dirty Gas Flow Rate
Polymer-forming Suction Pressure
Liquid Entrainment Mol. Weight
Containing Corrosive
(HCI, Cl2, H2S etc.) High Pressure Ratio
Low Mol. Weight Gases (H2)
Large Process Fluctuation in : Large Turndown
Mol. Weight = Power Savings
(100～20％ with Slide Valve)

Major Applications
Oil-Free Oil-Injected
・ Offshore (Vapor Recovery) ・ Hydrogen (Desulfurization etc.)
・ Refinery & Petrochemical Gas ・ Natural Gas (CH4 rich)
(Off Gas, Vent Gas, Flare Gas) ・ Refinery & Petrochemical Gas
・ Styrene Monomer Off-Gas ・ PSA
・ LAB H2 Recycling ・ Fuel Gas for Gas Turbines
・ Butadiene Gas ・ Helium
・ CO2 in Soda Ash Plant ・ Gas Gathering for Oil & Gas
・ HDPE ・ Coke Oven Gas
 The reasons why Oil-Free Screw Compressors are
suitable for Flare Gas Services:
<Features of Flare Gas>
1. Heavy Hydrocarbon Gas
(High Molecular Weight and including H2S, H2O)
2. Molecular Weight Change
3. Continuous Operation (High Reliability)

<Suitability>
Oil-Free Screw Gas Compressor technically has no problem for item 1.
to 3. because of no chance by contact between gas and oil.
