L.A Turbine

(Turbo Expander)

Turboexpander Applications

  • Hydrocarbon Gas / Oil Refinery Processing - LNG plant gas liquefication, , Fluid Catalyst Cracking (FCC), LPG recovery
  • Cryogenic Air Separation - N2 gas production, cooling of air for stream condensation (Air Products, Praxair, Linde etc)
  • Refrigeration - large scale gas refrigeration
  • Energy Recovery - replaces expansion valves, electricity generation
  • Geothermal Power Generation - power generation using ground water and refrigerants (134A or iso-butane)

Turboexpander Types

  • Four main types connected to the expander shaft
