What is a propane butane compressor?

Propane-butane compressor is a special piston equipment for light alkane medium of liquefied petroleum gas. The compression structure is optimized according to the characteristics of easy liquefaction, flammability and explosion, and it is used for propane and butane gas recovery and pressurization transportation in oil and gas stations and fine chemicals.

Core special requirements include:

Anti-liquefaction interstage design: increase the interstage cooling heat exchange area, accurately control the exhaust temperature, and avoid the cylinder from being damaged by the liquefied liquid in the compression process;

Explosion-proof standard of the whole machine: explosion-proof electrical and anti-static pipelines of the whole machine to prevent alkane from leaking and exploding with open flame;

Swelling-resistant seal: The valve group and piston seal are made of special fluororubber with hydrocarbon swelling resistance to prevent medium corrosion and seal leakage;

Gas-liquid separation integration: the back end of each stage is equipped with a gas-liquid separator to automatically separate the liquid light hydrocarbons separated by compression and return them to the storage tank;

Leak venting pipeline: emergency venting torch pipeline is set, which can quickly relieve pressure and burn the medium leakage, thus eliminating potential safety hazards.

Summary: It is specially optimized for the recovery of liquefied alkanes, effectively solving the pain points of liquid hammer and sealing swelling industries; The medium risk level is high, so it needs to be equipped with professional explosion-proof machine room and leakage monitoring system.
