MEETING THE DEMAND IN CHEMICAL PLANTS
Elliott turbomachinery finds wide application in a variety of chemical processing applications worldwide such as chlorine and sulfuric acid processing. Our popularity arises from the wide choice of units, technological innovation for high throughput, and rugged construction to withstand attack from corrosive materials.
Elliott has furnished many compressors for demanding service in the chlorine industry. The very high molar mass of the gas and the requirement for a high compression ratio sometimes demands multiple points of ISO-cooling within a single compressor body. Since the gas is toxic, positive shaft sealing must be achieved, but no oil can be tolerated.

Skilled Elliott specialists have a reputation for satisfying all of these requirements for customers. Elliott provided a Mideast chemical plant with the world's first oil-free process gas compressor/steam turbine string. This was achieved by incorporating magnetic bearings and dry gas seals into the equipment, thus eliminating the need for lubricating or seal oil.
