Why do coal chemical industry compressors operate at higher pressures than those in the petroleum chemical industry?
Coal chemical industry compressors operate at higher pressures than those in the petroleum chemical industry, as the reaction conditions required in coal chemistry involve high temperatures and pressures; these conditions are quite stringent. In contrast, most hydrogenation processes use medium-pressure equipment.
Generally, the higher the pressure, the more complete the reaction!
The compressor is selected based on the pressure requirements of the system; it has nothing to do with the difference between coal chemical industry and petroleum chemical industry. High pressure is relatively common in coal chemical industry. This is because the synthesis of most coal chemical products generally takes place under high temperature and pressure conditions.
