Gas compressing using oil separation

The main components of these moto-compressor units are : - An oil lubricated screw compressor and its motor. - One or more oil separators, an oil cooler, oil filter and oil pump. - Control and regulation equipment. - Control and power switchboard. The motor compressor unit is integrated into the manufacturing process as an "open loop". The compressed gases come from various sources : Helium, carbon dioxide, natural gas, syngas, methane, hydrocarbon and coke gas, etc. For very thorough oil separation (maximum content of a few ppb of oil in the gas), AXIMA REFRIGERATION FRANCE can achieve 3 successive levels of oil separation : - Primary separation by gravity. - Secondary separation over several stages by cartridge. - Final separation over activated carbon filter.
