Oil-Flooded Screw Compressor With 100barg Discharge Pressure

Screw compressors are positive-displacement compressors that are widely used in industries due to their high efficiencies, small footprints, and long maintenance intervals. Oil-flooded screw compressors in particular can achieve high compression ratios in a single step and their applications are expanding as lubrication and oil separation technologies improve. Kobe Steel developed a high discharge pressure screw compressor that can reach pressures up to 100 barG, the highest in the world, enabling it to cover air volume and pressure requirements for fuel gas compression and desulfurization processes.

Screw compressors have characteristics of rotary type

compressors, despite being positive-displacement type


compressors, and are used widely in industries because of
their high efficiencies, small foot print sizes and long
maintenance interval. In particular, oil-flooded screw
compressors, in which oil isinjected into the compressed
gas, are capable of achieving high compression ratios with
single steps and are expanding their applications, as the
lubrication oil and oil-separation technologies have improved.
Kobe Steel developed a high discharge pressure
compressor, with maximum discharge pressure of 100
barG, based on the technology for the "EH series", which
covers discharge pressures up to 60barG.
One of the applications, where oil-flooded screw
compressors are advantageously used, is the fuel gas
compression for gas turbines. Recently, high discharge
pressures are required for fuel gas compressors to improve
the power generation efficiencies of gas turbines. Combined
with our conventional series, the new compressor has
enabled us to cover almost all the air volume and pressure
requirements from gas turbine manufacturers.
On the other hand, the requirements for sulfur content
reduction in automobile gasoline and diesel fuel are
increasing worldwide for environmental protection, and
petroleum companies are working hard to reduce sulfur
contents in fuels. The main process to reduce sulfur in fuels
is the desulfurization process using hydrogen and the new
compressor is expected to be used, e.g., for the hydrogen
compression for desulfurization and net gas boosters.
Features
1) High discharge pressure: The compressor covers discharge
pressures up to maximum 100barG, the highest in the
world for screw compressors.
2) High suction pressure: The new compressor can handle
suction pressures up to 100barG, which may be reached
during pressure variations, and can be used for the
recycle compressors of desulfurization with low
differential pressures.
3) Low energy consumption: A slide valve in the new
compressor allows a linear displacement control.
4) Small foot print size: The high reliability of the new
compressor does not require any spare machine, enabling
the reduction of its installation space area compared to
other types (reciprocating-type and centrifugal-type)
for a given wind volume capacity.
Applications
Fuel gas compression for gas turbines; Compression of
various gases used in petroleum refining and petroleum
chemistry; and Oil & Gas service.
