Gas Filter › Removal of Oil or Water in Gas Production

COMPRESSED GAS PRODUCTION PLANT

PROCESS INFORMATION

Gas is compressed into bottles for Industrial use.
Gas is compressed as part of an industrial process.

These compressors can entrain water or oil into the gas.

Examples :

• Compressed CO₂, H₂ and CO – after compressing synthesis gas at 4,500 PSIG the gas must be filtered before going to the methanol reactor / catalyst. Up to 2,000 mg/m³ of oil can be entrained from the compressor.

• Compressed H₂ and N₂ – after compressing synthesis gas at 4,800 to 5,300 PSIG the gas must be filtered before going to the ammonia reactor / catalyst. Up to 2,000 mg/m³ of oil can be entrained from the compressor.

• Compressed Helium – used in cyclotron to cool down electrical equipment; multiple compressing stages with filter after each. Up to 5,000ppm of oil can be entrained from the compressor.

• Compressed NH₃ –

PROBLEMS TO SOLVE

Contamination of catalyst and impact on reaction

Contamination of gas product quality.
