Description: Compressor Station

Scope:
Contracted to design, manufacture, supply and install a new compressor station for the Mozal Aluminum smelter.

The plant features unique standby facilities and the unmanned station is designed to deliver superior quality compressed air at the lowest possible production cost. The plant was completed in two phases. Phase 1 was a greenfields contract for the supply of approximately 20,000 Nm³/h at a line pressure of 800 kPa and a pressure dewpoint of -20°C. Phase 2 was a brownfields contract doubling the plant capacity. Stringent management of the hot tie-ins ensured uninterrupted supply of compressed air to the smelter.
