Total and Lukoil to deliver one process gas compressor API 618 for their refinery expansion

Zeeland Refinery N.V. selected Burckhardt Compression to deliver one Process Gas Compressor API 618 for the refinery expansion in Nieuwdorp, the Netherlands. The compressor will be used within the diesel hydrotreating process as a hydrogen make-up gas compressor.

The pressure of the Process Gas Compressor ranges from 25 up to 188 bar with a rated motor power of 7’000 kW (9’380 HP) and the compressor is designed for a maximum rod load of 1’500 kN (335’000 lbs).
Burckhardt Compression’s extensive expertise and decades of experience in design, engineering and manufacturing high performance reciprocating compressors were important factors in securing this order.

The company’s Process Gas Compressors are manufactured according to API 618 5th edition including the latest state-of-the-art technology. The product line covers duties requiring a maximum rod load up to 1’500 kN (335’000 lbs) and power up to 31’000 kW (42’100 hp). It represents highest availability and a long meantime between overhaul, also thanks to in-house engineered and manufactured high quality valves and key compressor components. Practice oriented design principles result in easy maintenance work and short downtime for overhauls.

Delivery of the compressor is scheduled to be mid-2013.

Burckhardt Compression’s aim is to deliver compressor solutions with lowest life cycle costs. The company’s Process Gas Compressors API 618 are used in the refinery and petrochemical/chemical industry as well as for industrial gases and gas transport and storage.
