  • Publication number: 20250207598
    Abstract: The compression train (13) for a dehydrogenation plant (1) comprises a driver (36) and a single centrifugal compressor (35) drivingly coupled to the driver. The centrifugal compressor comprises a single casing and a plurality of compressor sections (39.1, 39.2, 39.3) inside said casing (37). Each compressor section comprises at least one impeller (40.1, 40.2) arranged for rotation in the casing (37). The compressor (35) is adapted to compress a mixture containing propane, propylene and hydrogen, having a molecular weight between 20 and 35 g/mol, from a suction pressure between about 0.2 barA and about 1.5 barA to a delivery pressure between about 11 barA and about 20 barA, with a volumetric flowrate comprised between about 120,000 m3/h and about 950,000 m3/h.
