This custom-engineered compressor package is designed for a hydrocarbon boil-off-gas application and features a GEA model 1210GL, API-619 screw compressor, operating at 1,800HP.
The Boil-off Process
Refrigerants based on ammonia or hydrocarbons – as well as liquid propane, propylene, and ethylene – are stored in special vessels at low temperatures. Ambient warmth raises this temperature. The resulting vapors must be vented to avoid pressure build up. They are changed to liquid form and returned to the storage vessel.
Flexibility
GEA’s BOG solutions are customized for each application and utilize GEA’s proven oil-injected screw compression technology to meet customer requirements and specifications, including limiting oil carryover to <1ppm (parts per million).
Applications
- BOG compression and refrigeration in fertilizer plants employs screw compressor packages and condensing systems for ammonia boil-off systems.
- BOG compression and refrigeration in hydrocarbon storage facilities is enabled by GEA’s line of API-619 compliant compressors, which are also uniquely suited for tank loading & unloading facilities.
- BOG condensing units in LNG plants.
Optimization
GEA’s boil-off-gas solutions are designed for maximum energy efficiency to reduce energy use and, in turn, operating costs.

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Além da máquina: como alcançar um melhor desempenho da planta
Uma máquina eficiente não significa, por si só, uma fábrica eficiente. A verdadeira melhoria geralmente começa quando se vai além dos equipamentos individuais e se compreende como os processos, os sistemas de energia e as decisões operacionais se afetam mutuamente. É uma abordagem integral concebida para identificar oportunidades que, de outra forma, poderiam passar despercebidas.
Como uma válvula revoluciona a forma como alimentos e bebidas são produzidos
Em plantas de alimentos e bebidas, as válvulas são normalmente acionadas por meio de ar comprimido. A GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology aciona as válvulas por meio de água, em um circuito fechado e controlado digitalmente. O resultado é uma válvula que pode ser mantida exatamente no lugar e ajustada em etapas precisas. Isso resulta em menor consumo de energia e maior controle.
