It’s no wonder that the compressors have become vital parts of numerous processes. Backed by a History of Advancements A Wide Range of Applications: Through decades of intensive development, integral • Fuel gas boosting gear technology has grown from a cutting-edge technology into a mainstay in nearly every compressor • Plant & Instrument air application imaginable. • Main and booster air / booster N2 • NGL recovery / gas processing And there are good reasons why. Integrally-geared compressors are more compact and efficient than • Olefins / polyolefins comparable single-shaft designs and they afford a level • Hydrogen / HyCO of process control that other technologies can’t match. • Fertilizers, including ammonia, urea, nitric acid, Each compression stage is specifically optimized melamine to run at its optimum speed. The result: greater pressure • High-pressure CO2 for urea and supercritical ratios in a smaller footprint with significantly less power cycles energy expenditure. • Numerous other application with thousands of references around the world A World of Process Possibilities Integrally-geared compressors run at the heart of vital applications extending from LNG vessels on the high seas to complex compression requirements in petrochemical plants. Our machines are at home in air separation plants, at power facilities, in applications across the entire LNG value chain as well as in numerous related downstream processes. 6 7 Your Application Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) Atlas Copco turbocompressors are employed in carbon The CO2 is then transported to a predetermined location capture storage (CCS), a new and promising technology. – either underground or underwater – where it is safely Integrated into different processes (such as Oxyfuel), CCS stored. By placing CO2 under high pressure, it can be allows CO2 to be captured directly at the source instead saved in reservoirs to help mitigate carbon emissions. of being released into the atmosphere.
