What are the advantages of CO2 centrifugal compressors used in the soda ash industry?
Thread Content
my country currently mainly uses three types of CO2 compressors: Small and medium-sized alkali plants use piston compressors, while large alkali plants use steam turbine-driven or electric-driven centrifugal compressors or screw compressors. Please discuss the advantages of centrifugal compressors in the soda ash industry?
The advantages of centrifugal compressors used in the soda ash industry mainly include the following aspects:: 1. Large gas transmission capacity ； 2. Smooth operation, few faults, and small maintenance workload ； 3. Easy to operate and ensure safe operation ； 4. The high-speed rotating centrifugal compressor is directly connected to the back-pressure steam turbine, which makes it easy to adjust the gas volume and adapt to the requirements of production fluctuations. More importantly, the back-pressure steam is sent to evaporate ammonia to achieve comprehensive utilization of heat energy and save electricity. Its disadvantage is that it is noisy. When transporting lime kiln CO2 gas with high dust content, the impeller and intercooler will have scarring.
