SCAIR 60HP 1.6MPa Hypercompressor for Amine Contactor Control & Sulfur Recovery Units

SCAIR 60HP 1.6MPa Hypercompressor: Critical Pressure for Sour Gas Processing

SCAIR’s 60HP hypercompressor delivers 7.0 m³/min at 1.6MPa with API 618 pulsation control, preventing $550k/day sulfur plant trips where pressure instability causes 25% amine valve failures in 50,000ppm H₂S service.

Ultra-High-Pressure Engineering for Acid Gas Environments

Featuring Hastelloy C276 flow paths and dual-containment seals, this 45kW system maintains ±0.3% stability during Claus reactor switching. The NACE MR0175-compliant construction withstands stress corrosion cracking in 35% H₂S concentrations - critical for tail gas treating units.
