ROCHEM® Process Compressors

Powerful. Efficient, Reliable

Rochem’s purpose is to drive the success of our clients by boosting power, efficiency and
reliability of their key assets

Process Compressors

Process compressors are critical equipment items, fouling will adversely affect the compressors reliability and availability. Any machinery downtime or even reduced capacity will negatively impact on your profits.
Process Compressor performance, availability and reliability are key to plant profitability!
Rochem on-line nozzle and delivery system allowing the process compressor to be cleaned during normal operation.

Engineered using:

  • 3D Modelling
  • Computational Fluid Dynamic Modelling (CFD)
  • Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
  • Laser Diffraction (droplet size measurement)

The nozzles are designed to optimise washing for specific process compressor types.

Fouling Indicators

Reduced:

  • head
  • capacity
  • efficiency
  • pressure ratio

Increased:

  • speed
  • temperature rise
  • power consumption
  • intercooler pressure drop
  • vibration, thrust bearing load
  • balancing line differential pressure

Fouling Consequences

  • Process compressors are critical equipment items
  • Fouling adversely affects process compressor availability and reliability
  • Any downtime or reduced capacity negatively impacts profits
  • Thousands or even millions of dollars per day in lost revenues due to unplanned shutdowns to clean and repair process compressors are not uncommon
