Instrument air by Geveke:
In many industrial applications and
installations air is used for both process
and utility applications. Based on the
Schoonebeek oileld
development - multiple
systems:
Capacity : 18 x 25 Nm3/h, 10
barg, pdp -40 C
Power : 18 x 5,5 kW
Location : Onshore - Indoor
ATEX 95 : Safe area
Application:
The oil is produced from 18
different well-sites in the
Schoonebeek area. Each site
has its own instrument air
generation facility to ensure
safe and continuous
operation over the years.
Custom built installations:
This example shows how Geveke converts manufacturers
standard equipment to meet the technical requirements for the
oil & gas industry. This desiccant dryer unit with ltration (red
lter houses) is converted in such a way that its design life
meets the requirements. The standard dryer control, suitable
for the standard industry, is converted and protected from the
harsh conditions it is confronted with on a gas production
platform on the North Sea.
The same applies to the air
intake lters that protect the
compressors internals from
particles and dust in the air.
For standard land application,
the normal lters are well
suited for the required duty.
In an (ATEX) oil & gas
application, the lters are
made explosion proof in a
stainless steel enclosure.
The standard lter elements
will still t the construction
ensuring maintainability and
factory backup services of
the systems created by
Geveke.
Turnkey solutions
Loose supplied compressors as such are
probably not the solution for you. More likely
you are looking for a solution that incorporates
amongst others, our compressors. Keywords
for your production process are:
Capacity (ow) at the right pressure and
quality. Lowest Total Cost of Ownership for
the installation.
This asks for added value from a compressor
system integrator in having market knowledge
The basis for our turnkey installation is the compressor:
to compress air or gas, we use all different technologies
available in the market, depending on the best t for your
project requirements.
Machine specications:
- Medium: Air
- Capacity: 600 kW - 6.100 Nm3/h
- Pressure: 9 barg
- Application: Process milling air
and experience in creating solutions. Geveke
is your partner in this respect, starting with
advice and consultancy , making an inventory
of the requirements. During the project phase
in creating the solution we work closely
together with our clients, seeing to it that
after we turn the key, the end result is to all
parties expectations. Only then we created
the basis for a long lasting relation, ensuring
your production process.
Operator training is also an important step in
the completion phase. This is commonly
repeated on a regular base for optimum
performance of the installation, ensuring
reliability for your production process.

Downstream the turbo
compressor the air is
treated for the various
production steps as
follows:
- Flow 1: Untreated hot
air @ 90C
- Flow 2: Air separation
units making nitrogen
- Flow 3: Plant air dried
to pdp +3C
- Flow 4: Process air class
2.2.2. (pressure
dewpoint of -40C).
When we open a glass
bottle with a refreshment,
it is interesting to know
what is behind. This
example shows the hart of
the installation in a glass
bottle factory. To make the
required quantity of bottles
a large amount of air is
needed:
- Medium: Air
- Capacity: 2 x 1.000 kW
- 27.000 Nm3/h
- Pressure: 3,3 barg
- Application: Mould
blowing air
Filling our refrigerators at
home with milk and cheese
products is made possible
through the factory
collecting milk from our
farmers. These factories
run on a 24/7 bases and
need reliable utilities to
guarantee the production
process and food quality.
Again our Zero oil
installations have proven to
be the solution for a reliable
and stable production
process.
Some examples we have done over the years:
- CNG Compressed Natural Gas Bus (public
transport) lling stations,
- The low and medium pressure installations
of glass bottle mills,
- Compressed air installations in the food and
pharmaceutical industry,
- Installations for medical and laboratory
applications.
Apart from the CE compliancy of our
installations specic markets require specic
approaches with respect to system
validation, commissioning and start-up plans
and reporting. After the installation is in
operation our custom built maintenance
agreements ensure the most optimum Total
Cost of Ownership over the lifetime of the
production facility.
Biogas compressors
(Bio)gas compression
Compressing gases is a physical abstract process. It becomes interesting when
we get to know the applications in which gas compression is used.
A new source of energy, is biogas. The word biogas stimulates our imagination,
it has a green image to it. Biogas is an alternative source of energy with high
potential in the world around us. More and more initiative is taken in the
generation of so called second generation biomass. From our organic waste
(house holds, sewage sludge, manure and agricultural waste) we can make new
energy by converting it in a digester.
From the start (digestion) to the point where we can actually use the energy a
lot of technology and production steps are required. Logistics, waist handling,
digesting plants, cleaning and purifying the biogas, injecting the gas into the
national gas grid so that it can be reused in industry or to heat our houses.
In this production chain Geveke gas compressors are used to:
- Boost the gas from the digesters for further treatment and cleaning,
- Compress biogas to turbines where it can be converted to green electricity,
- Compress biogas into the national gas grid making green gas available.
Bio- and green gas compressor features:
- Always a custom built solution required to meet the process design,
- Oil free compression is required to keep the gas clean,
- Energy efcient piston technology is used to make the most of each m

of gas produced,
- Pressure ranges from atmospheric up to 85 barg for injection
in the gas distribution grid.
- Gastight compressor built to gas specications being CE-ATEX compliant.
- 24/7 design together with smart capacity control guarantees a continuous
and steady gas production.
Biogas compressors:
Our range of oil free piston compressors for
biogas is designed to meet the following
technical data:
- Medium: Biogas (clean and raw)
- Capacity: up to 200 kW - 1.500 Nm3/h
per unit
- Pressure: up to 85 bar (3-stage unit)
- Application: Biogas purication and
injection.
Gascompressors:
Geveke does not only creates air- and biogas
compression solutions; we also compress a
wide range of other gases and mixtures
such as:
- CH
4
: Methane
- C
N
H
N
: Various hydrocarbons
- H
2
: Hydrogen
- CO
2
: Carbon Dioxide
- N
2
: Nitrogen
- He: Helium
Hydrogen compression:
Hydrogen is a light and highly explosive gas
to handle. We nd however more and more
applications where this gas is used as an
alternative green energy source. If you think
of the electricity produced by wind during
the night is converted into hydrogen, the
abstract need to compress this gas becomes
touchable. If you compress hydrogen to
higher pressures for transport and storage,
you can imagine the potential for it in our
normal life in cars and public transport (fuel
cell technology).
Built to meet the project
requirements, the
compressors we design,
supply and install are
manufactured with our
responsibility of the carbon
footprint in mind!
