Compressor technology slated for Clean Energy Complex
This company will supply six air-compressor trains for Air Products’ air-separation unit (ASU) as part of a new plant for the production of blue ammonia and hydrogen at the Clean Energy Complex in Darrow, La. The scope of the order comprises two main air-compressor trains — each equipped with a single-shaft compressor type, RIKT 160-3 (photo). It further includes two booster air-compressor trains — each with an integrally geared compressor type, RG 63-6 — as well as two gaseous-nitrogen compressor trains — each with an integrally geared compressor type, RG 45-5. All of the trains will be electrically driven. The main air-compressor trains have three centrifugal stages and deliver more than 600,000 Nm3/h of air. The booster compressors are integrally geared types and have six (air) and five (nitrogen) stages, all with external intercoolers. — MAN Energy Solutions SE, Augsburg, Germany
