Hi zdas04,
in smaller sizes you are right: compressors come in discrete sizes and capacities. But for large ASU the rotating equipment is fit for purpose, customised for the specified duty.
As you mentioned, an important aspect is the turndown capacity of the compressor as you have to start up...
Ladies and Gentlemen, thanks a lot for that information.
the calculation would then be:
3600 tpd x 1000 / 24 / 31,99 / 0,2095 x 28,95 / 1,29299 = 500984 Nm³/h
There are 2 issues which I still need to solve:
1.) Is there a common understanding that a 3600tpd Oxygen Plant would produce 3600tpd...
I am trying to calculate the required Air Flow for an Main Air Compressor.
Example: The Air Separation Plant Size is 3600tons (metric) of Oxygen per day.
What will be the air flow for the Main Air Compressor?
Thanks for your help!
