On May 17–18, Keepwin Technology Hebei Co., Ltd. had the pleasure of hosting a delegation from Brazil to discuss a customized 700 bar, 500 SCFM nitrogen booster compressor solution. The client operates a membrane nitrogen generation system delivering 20 bar output pressure and seeks to elevate this to 700 bar for offshore gas lift applications on oil platforms.

Our Chief Engineer, with over 40 years of experience in high-pressure gas compression, led the technical exchange. The discussions focused on integrating the client’s existing nitrogen generation system with our high-pressure booster compressor, ensuring seamless operation and meeting the stringent requirements of offshore platforms.

Keepwin’s expertise in designing and manufacturing high-pressure compressors ensures that the proposed solution will deliver reliable performance, safety, and efficiency in demanding offshore environments. We look forward to collaborating further to bring this project to fruition.

Understanding the Technology

High-Pressure Compressors

High-pressure compressors are designed to deliver nitrogen at pressures up to 700 bar, essential for applications like gas lifting on offshore platforms. Their robust construction ensures durability and consistent performance under harsh conditions.

Oil-Free Compressors

Oil-free compressors eliminate the risk of oil contamination, ensuring the purity of the compressed nitrogen. This is crucial for applications where even minimal oil presence can lead to operational issues or safety hazards.

Membrane Nitrogen Generators

Membrane nitrogen generators separate nitrogen from compressed air using selective permeability. They offer a compact, energy-efficient solution for on-site nitrogen production, reducing dependency on external nitrogen supplies.kl-offshore.com

Benefits for Offshore Applications

• Enhanced Efficiency: Integrating membrane nitrogen generators with high-pressure, oil-free compressors streamlines nitrogen production and compression, leading to operational efficiency.

• Cost Savings: On-site nitrogen generation reduces transportation and storage costs associated with bottled nitrogen.

• Environmental Compliance: Oil-free operation minimizes environmental risks, aligning with stringent offshore environmental regulations.

• Reliability: Designed to withstand the challenging offshore environment, these systems ensure uninterrupted operation.

Applications in the Oil and Gas Industry

• Gas Lifting: Enhancing oil recovery by injecting high-pressure nitrogen into wells.

• Pipeline Purging: Ensuring pipelines are free from contaminants before commissioning.

• Pressure Testing: Validating the integrity of equipment and pipelines under high-pressure conditions.

• Blanketing: Protecting sensitive equipment and materials from moisture and oxygen.

The integration of high-pressure, oil-free nitrogen compressors with membrane nitrogen generators presents a robust solution for the offshore oil and gas industry. By ensuring efficient, reliable, and environmentally compliant operations, these systems are indispensable for modern offshore applications.
