The air separation process enables the efficient production of technical gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. The multi-boosters play a central role here: they compress the industrial air from an existing compressed air network from 5.5 barg to up to 30 barg. One particular challenge was maintaining a maximum dew point of -100°C, which placed special demands on the design of the compressor components.
Thanks to the customised control system from Mehrer, it was not only possible to implement a large control range, but also to achieve significant energy optimisation of the entire system.
