Turbo compressorsApply pressure so that the air doesn't run out
With new turbo compressors, a chemical company saves around 2 million kWh of energy per year - around 20 percent compared to the energy requirements of the old compressed air supply. TheCO2 footprint has also been significantly reduced. The rotary drum dryers, which efficiently regenerate the desiccant with the heat generated during the compression process, also contribute to this.

The fittings of the chemical plants, in the picture a Rohester reactor, are supplied with compressed air. OQ Chemicals relies on compressed air with a particularly low pressure dew point due to the extensive network of pipes on the site. © Atlas Copco/Henning Scheffen
