Air Compressor Application for Oil & Gas Industry

The oil industry has a long and complex history, dating back to the 19th century when oil was first discovered and extracted for commercial use. As technology advanced, so did the industry, with new methods of exploration, drilling, and refining being developed. Today, the industry continues to evolve, with a growing demand for oil and gas and an increasing focus on the use of high-tech solutions to improve efficiency and sustainability. One key area of innovation is in compressor technology, which plays a vital role in the extraction and transportation of oil and gas. As the industry continues to grow and evolve, the demand for advanced compressor technology is only set to increase.

The large-scale production scale of the oil and gas industry requires the compressor to develop in the direction of large-scale, series complete sets, high efficiency, mechanical and electrical integration, energy saving and environmental protection, high reliability, low noise and long life, and more according to the oil and gas production process parameters to adopt special design, personalized design and manufacturing, so that the equipment can operate under the best design conditions.

Application of Air Compressor in Oil & Gas Industry

Purge

Compressed air is often used to purge the console to maintain the safety of the platform area. Even the smallest amount of oil can create a flammable environment, and the closing and dismantling of the platform requires extremely strict oil content in the air.

Operation and start-up of the device

Special instruments and control valves require compressed air for operation and start-up.

Nitrogen Production

Purer gases, shorter downtime.

Using membrane separation technology, the nitrogen separated from the compressed air is used to form a nitrogen layer in the LNG tank to transport the catalyst and reactant to the downstream stage.

Cushion air

Prevent main process/gas compressor shutdown

High-flow gas compressors require sealed buffer air to ensure proper equipment operation.

Running process

Compressed air is used in desulfurization processes, catalyst regeneration, process heaters, acid oxidation and gas-oil desulfurization.

Checksum Test Equipment

Prevent contamination and false readings.

How to Choose Air Compressor for Oil & Gas Industry

The oil and gas industry relies heavily on air compressors for various applications, including drilling, production, and transportation. However, due to the flammable and explosive nature of these resources, even trace amounts of oil in compressed air can lead to equipment failure. With oil and gas fields taking years to explore, develop, and extract, maintenance and downtime can significantly impact production and increase costs.

To prevent air pollution and machine shutdowns, oil-injected compressors require regular oiling and filter replacements. Compressors used in the petroleum and chemical industries must meet specific requirements, such as high corrosion resistance, stable operation in harsh environments, low energy consumption, and easy maintenance. By meeting these demands, air compressors can improve productivity and efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.
