Hydrocarbon Engineering is hosting a webinar with Atlas Copco next week!

Discover how Atlas Copco's innovative Compander technology combines multi-stage turbo compressors and radial expansion turbines into a single, compact, and cost-effective integrally geared machine. This webinar highlights the key technical features of the Compander and presents real-world case studies from the petrochemical industry, highlighting significant operating cost savings in process gas compression.

𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄:

• Hydrogen peroxide production: a four-stage air compressor with inter-cooling and two parallel expander stages mounted on a common pinion effectively recovers energy from a nitrogen stream to power the compressor, reducing energy consumption.
• Phenol production: a three-stage air compressor paired with a single expander stage processes oxygen-depleted air from the reactor, optimising energy use within the system.
• Nitric acid production: a three-stage air compressor and two series-mounted expanders on separate pinions efficiently manage hot gas streams from the oxidiser reactor, reducing waist energy losses.
