Discussion on the Causes of Rotor Scaling of Natural Gas Compressor

Discussion on the Causes of Rotor Scaling of Natural Gas Compressor

An oilfield company’s compressor station ammonia compression refrigeration device mainly caused the reduction of natural gas processing capacity and increased power consumption; severe fouling would cause

The equipment is two D10RgB centrifugal compressors imported from the United States. The compressor surges, causing the compressor vibration to exceed the standard, causing shutdowns.

The machine was put into operation in October 1998. A production accident took place in January 2002. In view of the needs of production and safety,

Overhaul, the defective parts are labyrinth seal, floating ring, radial bearing pad

In cooperation with the competent department of the station, the cause mechanism of this type of compressor rotor fouling

The thrust bearing was inspected for unit disassembly and the compressor rotor

Carry out research, give the cause analysis of centrifugal compressor rotor fouling and

Dynamic balance detection, etc. 2 "XH January to May compressor drive end

In this way, suggestions for protective treatment are proposed.

Vibration of VT-oly increases gradually, alarms are frequent for super-high, and the machine stops when super-high

Second, it was renovated in May 2 "X). Install and start the machine after renovation,

The expert group argued that the cause of the accident may be

200℃, the column is a hydrogen column, the column temperature is 50℃, and it is equipped with a gas sampler;

The raw material gas of the compressor station has a high impurity content, and the compressor is running

The test conditions are: Cu is anode, 40 kV/40n1A, RS-

The solid impurities on the rotor produce fouling speed, which destroys the rotor smoothness 0.15mm.

The compressor is shut down for many times and the number of inspections increases.

The solid sample adopts Rigaku Electric D/max-rB automatic X

After the compressor rotor fouls, it is more harmful. Slight scaling will

1.4 Analysis of the cause of formation of Fe oxide units at all levels, including more iron oxides. recognize

During the transmission of raw gas containing a small amount of water, a small mineral particle may be associated with gas in the oil field (because it contains a small amount of water). Part of the HZS and the rust on the inner wall of the pipeline have generated a small amount of certain heavy hydrocarbon components, with a relatively large specific gravity and a certain degree of turning).

Iron sulfide, the rest still flows through with the gas. The formed small amount of iron sulfide is carried to various parts of the natural gas compression system, forming a product on the rotor. A part of it constitutes one of the important components of the deposit on the rotor. It is one of the main components of the sediment.

Determine the composition and structure of the deposit on the rotor, combined with the process flow, through the analysis of the solids in the incoming gas separator

Understand and investigate on-site conditions, and the gas composition and the sediments of each flow section account for about 20.5%, and the rest contains a small amount of acid-insoluble substances.

The analysis of the solid samples obtained on the previous analysis showed that the rotor is mainly carbon, which may be due to the fact that inorganic carbon oxides under certain conditions

There are two main types of deposited solid substances: one is caused by the combination of inorganic sulfide and reducing substances, which needs further study.

Iron oxides; one is minerals-"dust".
