Recently, the VW series propane process compressor unit manufactured by Anhui Tuke Energy Equipment Co., Ltd. successfully completed its load test and factory acceptance inspection. It has been shipped to a refining and chemical project in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, where it will be utilized for light hydrocarbon recovery and propane process gas boosting.
As propane is a flammable medium, the design and manufacturing processes prioritized system sealing, explosion-proof configurations, discharge temperature control, and safety interlocks for abnormal operating conditions. The unit incorporates an optimized inter-stage cooling and gas-liquid separation scheme, features rigorously inspected pressure piping and connections, and is equipped with interfaces for combustible gas alarms and comprehensive shutdown protection logic to meet the stringent safety and operational continuity requirements of petrochemical facilities.
During the test run, pressure levels across all stages built up smoothly, temperature, vibration, and lubrication parameters remained stable, and control system interlocks operated accurately. The timely completion and shipment of this project further demonstrate Tuke Energy’s professional expertise in the design, manufacturing, and integrated packaging of compressors handling flammable light hydrocarbon media.
