There is a lot of water between the compressor stages; how can the amount of water carried be reduced?
Thread Content
For hydrogen production using coke oven gas, a significant amount of water is discharged between the compressor stages, but there isn’t much water before the compressors. Is the amount of water between the compressor stages also similar? How can it be reduced? Thank you
Our company has encountered similar situations; upon inspection, it was found that the leakage was caused by a leak in the inter-stage water cooler of the compressor.
One of the reasons was mentioned upstairs; another one is the issue with the hydrogen production section earlier on. I only know a little bit; I have only carried out preliminary safety assessments for methanol-based hydrogen production.
What is the liquid removal situation at the inlet of the new hydrogen compressor?
Excluding the cause of water leakage in the system, that is, poor cooling performance, which leads to water condensing after compression cooling. Just my humble opinion; please feel free to correct me.
The person on the rooftop said, \"Our company has encountered similar situations before; upon inspection, it was found that the leakage was caused by a leak in the water cooler between the compressor stages.\" ” Logically, since the pressure of the medium is higher than that of the cooling water, water shouldn’t leak into the liquid separation tank, right? It’s likely due to a high water content; water emerges after compression, so the issue should be sought in the cooling system or the molecular sieve used for dehydration.

Gases will absolutely not condense into a liquid phase after being compressed. I asked the equipment engineer at our company, and he said that such a phenomenon does not exist.
The cooling water system has a loose gasket; it has nothing to do with the pressure of the compressed gas.
Thank you for your reply. If leakage is ruled out, then the water must have been carried in by the process gas. What do you think? These are just my humble opinions; I welcome any corrections. Please forgive any mistakes.
If the gasket leaks, gas usually seeps into the cooling water, and this type of failure occurs quite frequently. If the gas exhaled by a person contains a high level of water, water will precipitate out after compression and cooling. The temperature of the incoming gas should be reduced as much as possible.
