The Hyper Compressor is a high pressure reciprocating compressor which you will find in LDPE production lines. It compresses ethylene with a discharge pressure of up to 3500 bar absolute.
Compressors are designed to pump gases only. If, somehow, a vast amount of liquid finds its way inside a compressor, [...]

The Tasnee facility has 5 different plants. Next to the PDH (Propane Dehydrogenation), EC (Ethylene Cracker), PP (Polypropylene) and HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), the Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plant is in operation since 2009. The Tasnee LDPE process is designed for 400 KTA. This experience report provides an in-depth look in the daily routine of state-of-the-art compressor operation with a special focus on maintenance efficiency.
This case study demonstrates a case where – after a safety shutdown – a hyper compressor in LDPE service was restarted after it was tripped which led to severe damage within the compressor.
