If you’re looking to reduce power consumption and CO₂ emissions, upgrading to our MAN MAX1 standardised axial main air compressor is an excellent option. It comes with the next generation of axial compressor blading and is uniquely compact, robust, and efficient. This compressor can deliver volume flows up to 1.5  million cubic metres per hour and pressures up to 25 bar. Intercooled solutions are available, too.

Compared to conventional solutions, MAN MAX1 axial compressors and the related blading technology deliver greatly enhanced power density and performance, while exceeding expectations in terms of reliability. We achieved such advantages by combining advanced performance compressor technology with that of industrial large volume heavy duty compressors. The result is a system with significantly lower power consumption and a unique robustness across the entire operating range.

With rotor diameters from 102 mm to 816 mm, MAN Energy Solutions offers the widest range of screw compressor sizes in the market. Engineered to demonstrate exceptional reliability even under the most challenging conditions, they also offer the largest in-field volume flow (100,000 m³/h). Our screw compressors have an excellent track record of trouble-free operation, giving you the adavantage of high availability.

Your benefits:

• Largest in-field volume flow of up to 100,000 m^³/ h
• High reliability and availability regardless of gases containing dust or particles

MAN Energy Solutions also supplies the turbines needed to recover and use the top gas (the gas given off by the blast furnace). This mechanism recovers a considerable amount of energy and contributes to a greener process as no primary energy is required to power it.

Steel production in blast furnaces results in a considerable amount of by-product. We feel these by-products should be put to good use instead of going to waste. Blast furnace gas, coke oven gas, basic oxygen furnace gas and other by-products can all be used as fuel for the production of power or steam. Alternatively, they can be redirected into the blast furnace or used for the production of bioethanol. For power generation, they can be recovered and filtered and then burned in adapted gas turbines. This recovers the energy used for the blast furnace blower for the generation of electrical power. For increasing the pressure up to the point required at the inlet of the gas turbine combustion system, a furnace gas compression train is necessary.

Mostly manufactured out of CrMo steel, our reformer furnaces are in operation at refineries worldwide. For service, we make replacement tube bundles in our workshops which we ship directly to you for on-site assembly by our experts. We have over 20 years of experience in the manufacture and rehabilitation of furnaces. Our customers know they can expect minimal downtime and enjoy a high return on investment. Our experienced and resourceful experts take it as their mission to design an installation process which meets your needs, resulting in short turnaround time and safe execution.
