03.04.2003 - In 2000, a customer ordered a centrifugal compressor for propane gas from MAN Turbo for a refinery in Algeria. The scope of the order included gear units, oil systems and gas seals. The compressor is driven by a motor. Commissioning is scheduled for 2003.

The centrifugal compressor with motor drive is intended to compress propane to three pressure and temperature stages. The gases of crude oil distillation are separated from one another in a liquefied gas separation process. The propane obtained is used as a coolant in a closed system for cooling commercial propane and butane. The commercial propane and butane process products are then routed to a storage vessel at atmospheric pressure.

The compressor with motor drive is intended to replace an existing turbocompressor. The new compressor is not only rated for a greater volume flow, but also achieves a higher level of efficiency.
