Integrally geared centrifugal compressors for process gases
In petrochemical plants, refineries, and gas treatment facilities, reliable and efficient compression of process gases is crucial. Traditional compressors often face challenges such as high energy consumption, pulsation, and oil contamination, leading to costly downtime and maintenance.
Ensure efficient, pulsation-free gas compression
The BORSIG ZM centrifugal compressor series offers multistage integrally geared centrifugal compressors with up to 8 stages. These compressors are driven by steam turbines, gas turbines, or electric motors, and comply with API 617 (chapter 3) and 672 (4th edition) standards. High-efficiency operation is achieved through speed variation, cooling between each stage, inlet guide vane control, and axial flow into blades. These features address the common issues faced by reciprocating compressors, providing pulsation-free compression and oil-free fluid handling. Ideal for industries such as petrochemical, refineries, gas treatment, fertilizer production, power plants, and steel manufacturing, they deliver consistent performance with minimal maintenance. Discharge pressures can reach up to 200 bara, capacities up to 300,000 m³/h, and power up to 25,000 kW, making them versatile for various industrial applications.
Benefits
- Pulsation-free compression for smooth operations
- Oil-free fluid handling eliminates contamination risks
- Long uninterrupted operation reduces downtime
- High efficiency with speed variation and cooling
- Compliant with API standards 617 and 672
