Application of screw compressors in chemical industry

Application analysis of screw compressor in chemical industry

1. Core demand for compressed air in the chemical industry
In the chemical production process, compressed air is widely used in key aspects such as pneumatic control, material transportation, reaction vessel pressurization, and instrument purging. Its core requirements include:

  • Air purity: Avoid oil and impurities polluting the process (such as drug synthesis, fine chemicals);
  • operation stability: Adapt to high temperatures, corrosive gases or flammable and explosive environments;
  • Energy efficiency and maintenance costs: Energy conservation and low failure rate need to be balanced during long-term operation.

2. Technical adaptability of screw compressors
The screw compressor achieves gas compression through the continuous rotation of male and female screws (or single screw and star wheel plates) and has the following advantages:

  • continuous feed gas: No pulse output, meeting the high requirements of chemical equipment for airflow stability;
  • Adapt to complex working conditions: Can be equipped with drying and filtering devices to directly output dry oil-free air that meets chemical standards;
  • durability: Compact structure, low wear on key components, suitable for long-term continuous operation of chemical workshops.

3. The unique value of Granklin water-lubricated screw compressors
Granklin air compressor adoptsSingle screw plus star wheelThe water-lubricated compression technology is further optimized for the needs of the chemical industry:

  • No oil pollution: Replace lubricating oil with water to completely eliminate oil in compressed air and avoid reactions with chemical raw materials or affecting product quality;
  • Corrosion resistance and heat dissipation: The aqueous medium has both lubricating and cooling functions, effectively reducing the operating temperature of the equipment and adapting to the possible corrosive gas environment in chemical workshops;
  • low maintenance costs: Reduce the maintenance of oil system, reduce the risk of downtime caused by oil aging or leakage, and improve production continuity.

4. Typical application scenarios examples

  • pneumatic control: Provide pure power source for valves and actuators to ensure precision control is not disturbed by oil pollution;
  • material conveying: Use compressed air to transport chemical raw materials such as powders and particles to avoid pipeline clogging or product pollution caused by oil adhesion;
  • Reactor pressurization: Provide a stable oil-free gas source to meet the strict requirements of high temperature and high pressure reaction processes.

conclusion
Granklin water-lubricated screw air compressor has become an ideal choice for compressed air supply in the chemical field due to its oil-free, corrosion-resistant and low-maintenance technical characteristics. Its stable output of pure gas source and efficient operation can effectively ensure the safety, product quality and long-term economic benefits of chemical production.
