I did meet some packagers from Singapore. Most of them are salesmen and have strong desired to push the recip. machines to our project. The others in my project team (with no back ground in process or mechanical, only project management in general) likely to go with the recip.
I am tired of...
@zdas
If the discharge cooler is not required by our process (ie: actually we need hot gas of the downstream of compressor) , what is your advice on the temperature control of injected oil. Thanks
As said above, the type of the compressor is not decided yet, and we are in the very early stage of the project (still not in the FEED stage) and still need a lot of work and help to do.
We are the early state of the project, hence I've just made a simple steady state HYSYS simulation. The calculated discharge temperature at this stage does not take into account the effect of the injected oil. WE need more detail information from manufacturer if we decide to go with this type of...
Hi zdas04,
Thanks for your kind advice.
I did the process simulation for this compressor. The discharge pressure varies from 106 - 114 deg C (218 - 238 F).
We have checked with the packagers in Singapore and they tended to propose the reciprocating compressors. It might be their...
We have a booster compression package for offshore platform. The natural gas to be compressed with the process data as below:
+ Flow rate : 9 - 25 mmscfd (1065 - 1900 acfm)
+ MW: 21.8 - 22.2
+ Suction pressure: 550 kPag (min flow) - 850 kPag (max flow)
+ Discharge pressure: 1700 kPag (min...
