In an ongoing pilot project, a chemical process plant in the Netherlands plant uses mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) to upgrade low-pressure steam and reuse it to supply energy. The result has been a significant reduction in natural gas usage and a net reduction in CO2 emissions. Central to the plant’s MVR solution is a two-stage Atlas Copco centrifugal compressor, which compresses superheated steam from 3 barg to 12.5 barg in two steps. The overhung arrangement of the machine’s impellers on the pinion shaft ends means separate compressor bearings are not necessary. Reliable, proven floating carbon ring seals provide sealing and ensure moderate leakage. Its integral setup makes it possible to have an intercooling by a desuperheater after each compression stage, further increasing efficiency.
