In the oilfields of southeastern Turkey, one upstream energy company faced a recurring issue: large volumes of 관련 가스 were being flared due to insufficient compression infrastructure. This not only caused environmental penalties but also wasted valuable energy resources.

The customer’s goal was to recover and compress this flare gas—rich in hydrocarbons—for on-site power generation 그리고 gas reinjection.

To achieve this, they required a highly customized compressor solution capable of handling complex gas compositions at extreme discharge pressures up to 40 MPa (400 bar).

Gas Composition: Complex & Demanding

The associated gas in this project was a typical multicomponent hydrocarbon stream, primarily consisting of:

• Methane (CH₄): 73.01%

• Ethane (C₂H₆): 9.9%

• Propane (C₃H₈): 9.2%

• Butanes, Pentanes, Hexanes (C₄–C₆): ~4%

• Nitrogen (N₂): 0.96%

• Trace Oxygen (O₂ < 0.005%)

This mixture presented unique challenges in terms of volatility, pressure management및 lubrication safety.

Keepwin’s Solution: Model 2VF-3.6/5-400

To meet these technical demands, 킵윈 테크놀로지 허베이 주식회사 delivered a fully customized double V-type 5-stage air-cooled reciprocating compressor, model 2VF-3.6/5-400, capable of compressing gas from 0.5 MPa (g) 에 40 MPa (g).
