When Compressor Design, Engineering and Commissioning Go Wrong
CCC Investigates an Unstable Carbon Dioxide Compressor at a Fertilizer Plant
Frequent compressor tripping. Excessive energy use. What were the causes, and how did CCC correct the operation of the plant’s carbon dioxide compressor, increasing production while also reducing costs?
Excerpt:
“Compressors are widely utilised in fertilizer plants worldwide. Their associated piping and instrumentation design and control systems play a major role in determining the safety, stability and efficiency of the fertilizer manufacturing process. This article examines the compressor’s piping and instrumentation design, its control system based on a fertilizer plant’s carbon dioxide (CO2) compressor, and how a compressor surge test can be performed to reduce compressor energy consumption.”
