Why are centrifugal compressors rarely used in the process for producing 100,000 tons of synthetic ammonia per year?
In my opinion, these are: first, the initial investment cost; second, the maintenance cost; third, the maintenance technology; and fourth, considering the maximum pressure. Pressure: Generally, small urea is synthesized under high pressure to increase the synthesis rate. Flow rate: Small systems often require a wide range of adjustments due to equipment constraints; reciprocating compressors are more suitable for meeting the requirements regarding flow rate and pressure. Continuous productivity: Reciprocating compressors are generally available in large numbers, allowing for scheduled maintenance without disrupting production.
The high cost of centrifugal compressors is a key factor
100,000 tons per year – the initial investment is too high, which isn’t cost-effective; after all, the investment required for centrifugal compressors is even greater.
The high cost of centrifugal compressors is a key factor
The main consideration is cost; moreover, an annual production capacity of 100,000 tons is too low
The above reply is very comprehensive! Thank you!
Thank you, beautiful! I think the same way!
That’s right! This project is produced using excess gas!
