Compressors
Beyond sequestration: Changing CO2 from a problem to a solution—Part 1: CO2 as a refrigerant
As the world continues along its energy transition trajectory, demand for blue hydrogen and reduced carbon emissions will make high-purity carbon dioxide streams available in many process plants.
Control reciprocating compressor pressure pulsations to ensure long-term operational reliability
Reciprocating compressors receive and deliver gas in discrete slugs (or pulses) as the pistons move back and forth.
Process safety: Protecting LNG processes
At roughly 50 yr old, the liquified natural gas (LNG) industry is a relatively new part of the global energy market.
Challenges faced during liner installation of a reciprocating makeup compressor
A hydrocracker makeup compressor in a refinery in Saudi Arabia failed during operation. Upon internal inspection of the compressor, it was found that the cylinder liner was cracked and needed a replacement.
C3, splitter revamp case study emphasizes importance of balancing in four-pass trays to achieve separation efficiency and capacity
The C<sub>3</sub> splitter in an olefins plant is one of the most important and critical pieces of equipment: it separates polymer-grade propylene from propane.
Select the right capacity control technique for centrifugal compressors: Refinery case studies
The centrifugal compressor has been the workhorse of the oil and gas industry for decades.
Advanced compressor control and monitoring systems
Modern advanced control and monitoring systems for centrifugal compressors support compression plant operation at the highest possible efficiency, availability and reliability.
Occidental to use Siemens Energy's technology for large-scale direct air capture plant
Siemens Energy compressors will be used at Occidental’s first large-scale direct air capture (DAC) plant in Texas’ Permian Basin.
Control valves for carbon sequestration applications
Greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction projects have become a focus for many nations around the world—carbon capture technologies are a way to reduce the release of carbon into the atmosphere and help contribute to meeting emissions targets.
