Air Blower Solutions for Energy and Petrochemical Industry

The demand for products derived from petroleum and natural gas continues to grow as populations increase. And so does the demand for better air blower technology to drive the critical process. Atlas Copco excel over others in the way that we optimize for energy efficiency. Read on to know more.

‘Downstream’ refers to the process of refining petroleum crude oil and raw natural gas. It also includes the businesses that market and distribute the end products of this process.

Air blowers are important to the downstream sector of the oil & gas industry. Low-pressure air blowers in particular play a key role in powering petroleum refining. And they also power the processes used to convert crude oil into useful products, such as gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel, and diesel oil.

A byproduct of the downstream process is compounds that contain sulfur. Air blowers are used in two processes involving sulfur called:

‘Hydrosulferization’ where most of the sulfur is converted to hydrogen sulfide for later processing into elemental sulfur.
‘Thermal Oxidation’ where hydrogen sulfide gases are cleaned of impurities prior to atmospheric release.

Most of the sulfur produced worldwide is byproduct sulfur from refineries and natural-gas processing plants.

Another byproduct of the downstream process is carbon black. Carbon black is a black pellet or powder product used in plastics, paints, and inks as a color pigment. Blowers are used to create carbon black through a process called ‘Thermal Decomposition’. And blower airflow is used to carry carbon particulate and exhaust gases through quench towers and into bag filters.

Air blowers are an essential piece of machinery in the downstream sector. Atlas Copco make Air Blowers as well and are designed using same basic design as compressors. And so the energy technological refinements made for air compressors translate well to air blowers as well to provide same level of reliability and energy efficiency.
