Requirements for the compressor plant

All of the large units in our facility are located in one large building, which has two floors: on the upper floor are the compressors and turbines, while on the lower floor are the inter-stage water coolers. This results in less overall floor space required, and all the valves that need to be controlled are also located on the lower floor, which facilitates operation, especially during shutdowns. When choosing a house, attention should be paid to sound insulation and other aspects. Several compressors of ours, such as those for the syngas compression in the second unit, are all outdoor-mounted and have very low requirements.

It shall be carried out in accordance with the design regulations for compressor buildings in petrochemical enterprises and the design regulations for compressor buildings in chemical plants.

I only know about the compressor buildings that are commonly used in petrochemical plants: the space required for the compressor equipment (distance between columns), the layout of the equipment, the clearance requirements for overhead cranes (the type of crane to be used depends on the maximum weight of the components that need to be lifted for maintenance), the elevation of the operation platform on the second floor, and the foundations for the ground-based equipment (coolers, oil stations, liquid separation tanks, etc., which need to be installed alongside the foundations of the building)； Later, pipe loads, floor openings, wall openings (for piping passage), supports and hangers for pipes and electrical instruments (mounted on the factory columns), pipe pedestals, etc. will be provided. Students who have a deeper understanding can add more details.
