Air compressor layout

Air compressors may be installed inside the plant building, but they should not be placed arbitrarily. Key factors to evaluate include ventilation and heat dissipation, noise and vibration levels, discharge of oil, gas, and condensate, electrical safety, maintenance…

In wet flue gas desulfurization systems, air compressors supply essential instrument air and miscellaneous utility air. Due to space constraints within the plant site, many projects opt to locate air compressors on the second floor. This paper provides…
