Ethylene Processing: Booster Improves Energy Efficiency in Harsh Applications


Polyester production in the Asian market has grown rapidly in recent years, and its production is particularly dependent on the use of ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol. However, producing these two substances is an energy-intensive process, so the chemical industry is increasingly relying on sustainable technologies.
Until 2016, Taiwan’s Dongian Chemical Company operated two outdated compressors that required major overhauls and were unable to meet the growing demands of the chemical industry. OUCC therefore commissioned the German company Mehrer Compression GmbH to produce a modern two-stage dry compressor boosters for VOCs. The resulting TVZ 900 is oil-free and water-cooled, specifically designed to meet OUCC requirements, and is capable of properly recycling exhaust gases for use in other production processes. Thanks to its direct drive motor, the TVZ 900 is extremely energy efficient, has low maintenance costs and guarantees system availability of up to 97%.
Prior to the acquisition of the TVZ 900, the compressors used by Eastern Union required more and more maintenance, so much so that Eastern Union eventually decided that they needed to be replaced as soon as possible, so it was important for Eastern Union to find a company that could provide service. Provides energy efficient compressors and works quickly. Dongian contacted compressor booster supplier Taiwan Pneumatic Technology, which recommended the TVZ 900 from Mehrer Compression GmbH as a good fit for its needs. The TVx series, to which this model belongs, is specifically designed for use with process gases such as hydrogen (H2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethylene (C2H4), which are common systems in the chemical and petrochemical industries, as well as in research and development. development. The 900 series is one of the largest systems in the product range of Mehrer Compression GmbH, a leading manufacturer of professional compressors headquartered in Baling, Germany.
