The chemical and petrochemical industries require reliable and safe air compressors for a range of processes, with the right solutions enabling continuous operation while complying with industry safety standards and regulations. At Delta Industries, Inc., we provide a selection of top-quality chemical and petrochemical air compressor systems to meet each application’s needs.
Where Compressed Air Is Used in Chemical and Petrochemical Industries
Chemical and petrochemical compressed air serves important purposes in these sectors. The following are some commonly seen applications:
Process air
Pure compressed air can be used for mixing, drying, and other processes.
Control and instrumentation
Cylinders, actuators, and other systems depend on compressed air for optimal control.
Transfer and storage
Compressed air helps maintain consistent pressure when storing chemicals and transferring them between containment units.
Pneumatic conveying
These systems use compressed air for the safe conveying of granulated and powder chemicals between locations.
Fluid pumping
Liquid chemical pumping systems often rely on compressed air for regulating fluid and gas flow.
Maintenance and cleaning
Air compressors help eliminate contaminants from pipelines and other equipment to maximize their service life.
Safety systems
Various types of safety systems use compressed air for eliminating combustible and toxic chemicals while enabling the control of shut-off valves.
Explosion-Proof Compressors
Industrial compressors for chemical plants and petrochemical facilities must be able to mitigate the risk of combustion and, subsequently, explosions.
Specific air compressors are available from Delta Industries that consist of durable and explosion-proof components, including secure heavy-duty housing to contain internal explosions. Internal components can also prevent sparks from presenting an explosion hazard, and overall dependable systems will be able to effectively contain and eliminate combustible chemicals from systems.
Oil-Free Air for Chemical Processing
Applications in the chemical and petrochemical industries also require air compressors that avoid the use of oils to maximize purity. Oil-free systems allow teams to prevent oil from interfering with chemical processes and potentially contaminating liquid or gaseous chemical substances. These compressors are particularly important for applications in which end products, instrumentation, and packaging make direct contact with compressed air.
Oil-free systems from Delta Industries reduce filtration requirements downstream and pressure drops, leading to increased energy efficiency and lower costs. Increased efficiency also translates to reduced maintenance, keeping your equipment up and running the way it should.
