Supercritical compressor
Supercritical compressor
(OP)
Hi guys.
I'm not process engineer and I don't have any knowledge about reservoir. But in our last study we find that our off gases for injecting into well heads stand in supercritical regime. In other word we want to compress our off gases to inject into well heads. But as we compress the gas in stands in supercritical regime. We don't hear about compressor for gases in sepurcritical regime. Do you? Do you have any guidance or reference about it?
Thanks

Dear can you explain more? I don't have any understanding about that. Does an air compressor work in supercritical region? What about a natural gas in supercritical region?

How do you get properties? For most applications today process simulators and an equation of state is used to generate properties.

A supercritical fluid is any fluid that is above its critical temperature. O2 has a critical temperature of -118.6C and nitrogen has a critical temperature of -147C.

I think what the OP meant is dense phase see link below, otherwise the OP question would be a "non-issue".

And I think that superctirical area is where the substance has both pressure and temperature above critical values. So, unless air compressor discharge pressure is higher than critical pressure 38 bar, compressed air is not supercritical.
