The production of certain plastics requires propene gas, which is often delivered to the production site by rail. Due to the excess pressure in the rail tank wagon, the gas flows into the stationary tank of the plant until the pressure between the wagon and the tank is equalised.
After pressure equalisation, the propene is compressed via a multi-compressor so that excess pressure is created in the supply line and the tank is filled further. By adapting the compressor to the variable intake pressure, the number of tank wagons required can be reduced, which cuts CO₂ emissions and additional transport costs.
