propylene unloading compressor for gas transfer application

The propylene unloading compressor is a device designed for the loading, unloading, storage and recovery of propylene and other gases. It is mainly used in systems for unloading, loading and dumping of process gases as well as for residual gas recovery and residual liquid recovery.

Description

It is compact, easy to operate, and characterized by high efficiency and energy saving.

Propylene Unloading Compressor Features

  1. High efficiency and energy saving: The overall assembled structure design eliminates the need for additional supporting equipment, reducing energy consumption and improving system efficiency. Energy-saving design also lowers operating costs.
  2. Compact and convenient: All equipment is integrated and installed on a skid-mounted frame, with the compressor and auxiliary equipment compactly arranged for easy transportation and quick installation. The system operates with high stability, even in harsh environments.
  3. Reliability: Well-designed structure using high-strength materials ensures stable operation under high-pressure and high-load environments. Easy to maintain, prolonging service life.
  4. Convenient maintenance: The lubrication system can be selected as pressure or splash lubrication, maintaining long-term stable operation even under high load, and reducing frequent maintenance costs.
  5. Strong flexibility: Offers various structural forms and types—customers can select single-bar vertical, double-bar vertical, or symmetrical balanced structure, as well as fixed or mobile equipment to adapt to different working environments.
  6. Long life: Wear parts are made of wear-resistant materials for long service life, reducing replacement frequency and operating costs.

The Working Principle of Propylene Unloading Compressor

The propylene unloading compressor compresses propylene gas from a low-pressure environment to a high-pressure state using mechanical pressure, allowing smooth unloading from tanker trucks or storage tanks and delivery to target storage equipment. The process involves:

1. Gas intake: Propylene gas enters the compressor through the air inlet in a low-pressure state.
2. Gas compression: The compressor (piston or screw type) compresses the gas, increases its pressure, reduces its volume, and stores more energy—meeting the pressure required for unloading.
3. Gas discharge: Compressed, high-pressure gas is discharged through the exhaust port into the storage tank or pipeline. Discharge pressure exceeds tank pressure to ensure smooth transfer.
4. Lubrication: The lubrication system (pressure or splash) ensures smooth operation of moving parts, reduces friction, and extends equipment life.

Application Areas of Propylene Unloading Compressor

  1. Petrochemical industry: Essential for the unloading, loading, and storage of propylene, a key raw material in plastics, synthetic rubber, solvents, and more. Ensures safe and efficient transportation.
  2. Natural gas handling: Used in LNG and other gas transportation and storage for compressing and delivering gas, ensuring stable operation of gas systems.
  3. Refrigeration industry: Used to transfer propylene from low-pressure tanks to high-pressure storage or refrigeration equipment in cooling systems.
  4. Environmental protection: Recovers propylene gas during waste gas treatment, minimizing resource waste.
  5. Chemical transportation: Key equipment for safe unloading and achieving storage pressure in liquefied gas (e.g., propylene, ethane) transport and storage.
  6. Energy industry: Used for efficient, safe transfer of propylene in LPG and other energy applications, supporting operational efficiency.
