Compressors and Modern Process Applications
A modern reference to the principles, operation, and applications of the
most important compressor types Thoroughly addressing process-related
information and a wider variety of the major compressor types of
interest to process plants, Compressors and Modern Process Applications
uniquely covers the systematic linkage of fluid processing machinery to
the processes they serve.
This book is a highly practical resource for
professionals responsible for purchasing, servicing, or operating
compressors. It describes the main features of over 300 petrochemical
and refining schematics and associated process descriptions involving
compressors and expanders in modern industry. The organized presentation
of this reference covers first the basics of compressors and what they
are, and then progresses to important operational and process issues. It
then explains the underlying principles, operating modes, selection
issues, and major hardware elements for compressors. Topics include
double-acting positive displacement compressors, rotary positive
displacement compressors, understanding centrifugal process gas
compressors, power transmission and advanced bearing technology,
centrifugal compressor performance, gas processing and turbo-expander
applications, and compressors typically found in petroleum refining and
other petrochemical processes. Suitable for plant operation personnel,
machinery engineering specialists, process engineers,as well as
undergraduate students of this subject, this book’s special features
include: * Flow schematics of modern process units and processes used in
gas transport, gas conditioning, petrochemical manufacture, and
petroleum refining * Listings of licensors for each process on the flow
schematics * Identification of each process flow schematic of
compressors, cryogenic, and hot gas expanders at their respective
locations * Important overview of surge control, estimating compressor
performance, applications for air separation and gas processing plants,
petroleum refinery issues, and important criteria that govern compressor
selection and application Placing hundreds of associated process flow
schematics at the fingertips of professionals and students, author and
industry expert Heinz Bloch facilitates comprehension of the workings of
various petrochemical, oil refining, and product upgrading processes
that are served by compressors
