Carbon dioxide compression serves industries from beverage carbonation to carbon capture. CO2 has special properties that affect compressor design and material selection.
Applications
- Food and beverage carbonation and chilling.
- Enhanced oil recovery and carbon capture.
- Chemical and industrial processes.
Selection Factors
- Inlet pressure and required discharge pressure.
- Gas purity and moisture content.
- Temperature and material compatibility.
Design Considerations
- CO2 can form corrosive acids with moisture.
- Proper drying and filtration are essential.
- Sealing prevents gas leakage.
Why is moisture critical in CO2 compression?
Moist CO2 forms carbonic acid, which corrodes internal parts. Dry gas and resistant materials are required.
