VGE Series
VGE’s series is a skid-mounted natural gas compression & treatment station with rotary screw, electric motor and cooled gas for efficient operation.
Description
Adicomp – VGE Series
- Suction Pressure: 0.36 < 1.45 psi(g)
- Operating Pressure: 72.5 < 80 psi(g)
- Free Gas Delivery: 0 < 120 SCFM
- Adsorbed Power: 5 < 29 hp
Main Applications
Thanks to proven gas compression design, our equipment provides high reliability in your operation. Each gas compressor is designed for low maintenance in its field of operation, ensuring long intervals between servicing and easy access for technicians.
These dry gas compression and treatment packages are designed onto an easy to handle skid or enclosure composed of an oil-injected rotary gas screw block, directly coupled to an electric motor and controlled by an inverter.
Available with or without gas treatment system, this series has been designed for the following main applications:
- Microturbines feeding;
- Pre chamber feeding;
- Boiler feeding.
How It Works
The function of the gas feed compressor is to elevate the pressure as well as improving the gas quality.
At the suction side of every Adicomp compressor, the dry gas is sucked, filtered and then it flows to the rotors through a control valve. During the gas compression process, oil is injected inside the rotary screw chamber to perform three main functions: lubrication, sealing and heat absorption. After the compression stage, most of the oil is removed thanks to specific filters and then the gas flows through an air cooler to lower its temperature.
A mechanical by-pass valve recirculates the exceeding gas to modulate the capacity from the value achieved at minimum speed of the electric motor, down to 0%. When the system stops, the circuit is depressurized by conducting the gas into a specific expansion buffer or bleeding it out to the atmosphere. A sophisticated control system in the Adicomp series manage the operating pressure upstream or downstream the unit, and automatically adjusts compressor speed to modulate output according the availability or demand of biogas. Providing adequate conditions maintenance intervals are extended at 8000 operating hours.
