Cool system for hot tyres AERZEN Hungaria supplies packaged units for butadiene treatment plant A leading company in the Central European petrochemical industry relied on AERZEN’s products and professional competence in the construction of a new butadiene treatment plant. The system consists of three compressor packages VMY 156, one air-cooled condenser, three evaporators and one propylene vessel. Cooler system made by AERZENCompressor packages supplied by AERZEN Hungaria are making an im- portant contribution to automotive mobility: one of the biggest plastics manufacturers in Europe is using the packages in its new butadiene treatment plant, generating the raw material for synthetic rubber, and thus the source material for tyre production. At the location Tiszaújváros (Hungary), the plant has, since spring 2015, been producing 1.3 butadiene for the Hungarian factories of many internationally known tyre manufacturers. The cooler system at the plant was supplied by AERZEN. This consists of three VMY 156 compressor packages, one air-cooled condenser, three evaporators and one propylene vessel. Always 150 per cent refrigerating capacity In operation case 1, 545 kW of refrigerating capacity, and thus the application of two VMY 156s, is necessary. In operation case 2, however, 320 kW of refrigerating capacity, and thus only one VMY 156, is necessary. Thus, the system always supplies 150 per cent refrigerating capacity and one packaged unit is always available as stand-by. This is important, because butadiene must be cooled continuously, as otherwise it will polymerise and stick to the surfaces of pipings and tanks. For this reason, the system has three evaporators. The first evaporator cools the butadiene, when it comes from the plant and is led to the two spherical tanks with a size of 2,500 m3. The other two evaporators provide additional cooling. Besides the production of the cooling system, the team from AERZEN Hungaria was also responsible for its installation at the customer’s plant.
Expanded customer support In order to expand the support that we provide to our end users in the wastewater domain, AERZEN has hired three new sales and service employees for our sales offices “Nord“ (Walsrode), “West“ (Velbert) and “Mitte/Süd“ (Kahl and Elchingen). These three colleagues will be responsible for contacting our end users and supporting them in case they have any sales-related questions, or questions about our services. In order to be prepared for this, the new colleagues completed a training programme between mid-March and the end of April, where they learned about the comprehensive service product portfolio, as well as about internal processes, procedures and contact partners within AERZEN after-sales service

The first children’s book about AERZEN Hamelin’s art school under the responsibility of artist Natalia Ovodkova contacted AERZEN some months ago, asking whether the school may create a book about the company. AERZEN was happy to support this request. Children and young people between 5 and 14 years have been painting ambitiously for many weeks now. AERZEN photos and brochures have served as a useful guide for the young artists. An exciting story will arise around the photos. Visiting AERZEN on 19th March helped the talented youngsters to gather many live impressions. The book is expected to be published in autumn 2015.

New rotary lobe compressors for negative pressure applications Rotary lobe compressors in the successful Delta Hybrid series are now available in the new “E type” construction for a pressure range of up to -700 mbar. As conventional positive displacement blowers are limited to a maximum differential pressure of -500 mbar, expensive vacuum pumps had to be used for lower pressure ranges. The new E-series remedies this situation, reduces costs and opens up new application possibilities in the field of vacuum conveying - for example in foodstuff technology, plastic granulate pneumatics and in the chemical industry. The advantages for the operator include reduced investment costs, higher energy efficiency and greater flexibility.
