bulk unloading compressor for liquefied petroleum gas

The bulk unloading compressor is designed for process tasks such as unloading, loading, tank emptying, residual gas recovery and residual liquid recovery of liquefied gases (e.g. LPG, ammonia, Freon, etc.) in industrial applications.

Description

These compressors are widely used in the petrochemical, natural gas, refrigeration, and air conditioning industries as essential equipment for gas handling and transportation systems. They enable efficient and safe transfer of gases from transportation vessels to storage systems or downstream equipment, ensuring a smooth, efficient, and secure process.

Technical Parameters

  • Compressed gas: Liquefied gas
  • Flow rate: 1.5 m³/min
  • Inlet pressure: 0.1 MPa to 1.0 MPa
  • Discharge pressure: 1.6 MPa

Characteristics of Bulk Unloading Compressor

  1. Overall assembly structure: Main body and auxiliary equipment are unified on a skid, with no need for additional ancillary equipment. This compact design saves space and ensures easy transport and installation.
  2. High efficiency and energy saving: Advanced compression technology delivers high flow and efficiency while minimizing energy consumption.
  3. Easy to operate: Intuitive equipment design and user-friendly interface allow staff to quickly master operations and reduce risk.
  4. Long-term durability: High-quality materials and precision engineering ensure wear resistance of key components, extending service life and reducing maintenance frequency.
  5. Easy maintenance: Standardized design makes maintenance simple and parts easy to find, ensuring reliable long-term operation.

Working Principle of the Bulk Unloading Compressor

1. Intake stage: Gas (such as liquefied gas) enters the compressor’s working chamber through the inlet valve at low pressure and large volume.
2. Compression stage: The piston or rotor compresses the gas, significantly reducing its volume and increasing its pressure. Physical changes in the gas facilitate subsequent delivery.
3. Exhaust stage: The compressed, high-pressure gas is discharged through the exhaust valve into the storage system or for industrial use. Automated controls with sensors ensure safe, efficient, and fully monitored operation.

Application Areas of Bulk Unloading Compressor

  1. Oil and gas industry: Plays a vital role in the storage, transportation, and distribution of oil and gas, especially LPG and similar gases during loading and unloading.
  2. Chemical industry: Handles various chemical gases (e.g., ammonia, ethylene, ethane, propylene), enabling safe transfer under low-pressure conditions.
  3. Environmental protection and waste gas recycling: Recovers gases from industrial emissions, reducing pollution and improving resource utilization through residual gas and liquid recovery.
  4. Liquefied gas transportation: Ensures smooth transfer of bulk liquefied gas from containers to storage tanks during transportation and storage.

Structure of Bulk Unloading Compressor

  • Single-bar vertical: Suitable for small to medium compression needs, featuring a compact structure, small footprint, and easy maintenance.
  • Double-bar vertical: Ideal for medium to large processing needs, offering increased capacity and stability for higher load environments.
  • Symmetrical balanced type: Designed for large processing systems, offering high stability and reliability for long-term, efficient operation.

Types of Bulk Unloading Compressors

  • Fixed: Installed in a permanent position, suitable for long-term, stable gas handling with high efficiency and safety.
  • Mobile: Mounted on a mobile platform for versatile deployment, ideal for workplaces requiring frequent relocation or flexible adjustment.
