CO2 Compressor Operation Equipment Function and Layout

Introduction

The CO2 compression is an essential technology which keeps the compression operation efficient. The need of the right compressor running with least troubles and shutdown decreases the downtime of the whole system. Right machine selection appropriate to the right application, right machine operation, effective operation programs, reliable control system, and skilled personnel capable of doing the right troubleshooting are essential requirements for prolonged machine life.

This GLOMACS training course will focus on CO2 compression technology, CO2 Centrifugal Compressor, Description of the Compressor Components and its function, main design for the Compressor, Auxiliaries System, Operation and Control, understanding the Surge Phenomena and how to find and troubleshoot.
