ABSTRACT:
An air compression system for use in chemical processing operation. A primary air compression system module includes, on a common shaft, a multi-stage high pressure ratio compressor for supplying compressed air for the process, a pair of bearings support the common shaft and straddle the multi-stage compressor, a steam turbine is located on one end of the common shaft for providing start-up and supplemental power to the air compression module when necessary, and a radial inflow hot gas expander is provided on the opposite end of the common shaft which receives hot gas from the process for expansion thereof to provide the main power source for the air compression module. The air compression module is characterized by high power, relatively high speed operation suitable for applications in chemical processing industries and is a skid-mounted unit for ease of installation, and minimum overall reliability maintenance. It can be employed along with further process turbomachinery for the particular process concerned.
