CO2 Compressor Operation Equipment Function and Layout Course
Introduction:
Gas compression has achieved significant advancement in the global natural gas industry, relying on well-established technologies. When it comes to CO2 compression, similar equipment is utilized as in natural gas compression, albeit with certain modifications to accommodate the specific properties of CO2. Additional operational considerations when dealing with CO2 involve preventing corrosion and hydrate formation. Compressors are available in various types (such as centrifugal, reciprocating, and others), manufacturers, and sizes. Centrifugal compressors are typically preferred for applications requiring high volume due to their capability to handle substantial flow rates (reaching hundreds of thousands of cubic feet per minute). According to True (2003), in the USA alone, approximately 490,000 horsepower of compression was installed in 2002, amounting to a capital investment exceeding $635 million.
