Iran in Talks with Russia, Belarus to Export Home-Made Centrifugal Compressors

The centrifugal compressors produced by the Iranian knowledge-based company enjoy a power of 450 kW to 1 MW which can produce pressures of 5.5 to 13 bar, and their air intake capacity ranges from 3,000 to 10,000 cubic meters per hour.

Another feature of the product compressors is their possibility to compress air to the desired pressure in a wide flow range, in a way that the ‘Turn Down’ ratio for the compressors is between 20% and 35%.

Also, the company has supplied ‘single-shaft centrifuge’ to many employers in petrochemical, refinery, chemical, cement, steel and transportation industries.

“The centrifugal compressors produced by our company are both more complex in construction, and in many ways, enjoy higher efficiency and a lighter foundation than the ‘single-shaft’ centrifugal compressors which are similar models, and at the same time require lower maintenance and repairs,” said Nima Sejdeh, the managing director of the knowledge-based firm.

He added that the company is in talks with the Russian and Belarussian industrialists to export the compressors to the two countries.

In a relevant development in September, experts at the Iranian Offshore Oil Company (IOOC) had also succeeded in designing and manufacturing gas turbine equipment, including special sensors.

“We built and installed the sensor for determining the position of the breathing valves and applying it to the Siemens SGT200 model gas turbine control system of the island's power plant,” said Armin Bahrami, the head of turbine repair unit of Siri island’s Iranian Offshore Oil Company.

“One of the important components of gas turbines is the blow off valve which prevents destructive phenomena in gas compressors and plays an important role when starting combustion engines,” he added.

“The main advantage of this plan is to speed up the troubleshooting operation while notifying the operator of the bleed valve’s open and closed position,” Bahrami said.
