Huge NH3 Compressors

[Cold Down Under]

Not for mine - petrochem application.

Do you have any idea of who makes the ammonia centrifs?

The ones I have seen were York Turbomasters. Somewhere around 9-10 MW, but I'm sure they have larger ones. These are not what I would call petrochem duty compressors though as I don't think they would meet the API standards for centrifugal compressors with all of the special requirements.

I don't really have much experience with the large centrifugals, but one of our other members (TXiceman) does and he might be able to offer more details.

No matter what though, this sounds like a fun project.

I have talked with people that have serviced 20,000 HP turbomasters cooling natural gas fields. Did not get to see the job or aplication unfortunatly.
