Hitachi Industrial Products, Ltd. has delivered two electric-motor driven CO2 compressors for Krishak Bharati Cooperative Limited (KRIBHCO), one of the largest urea producers in India.
This project is to support the electrification of plant equipment that is being promoted with the support of the Indian government for the purpose of energy saving of the entire fertilizer complex. By replacing the existing stream turbine driven CO2 compressors, the customer could achieve highly efficient and reliable operation with new electric-motor driven CO2 compressors. In this way, Hitachi Industrial Products is contributing to the long-term energy saving of its customer’s plant.
In addition, the sound operation of these CO2 compressors has been evaluated by KRIBHCO and the company was awarded another electric-motor driven air compressor in 2021. Hitachi Industrial Products will continue to provide electric-motor driven compressors to customers in various regions and fields and contribute to energy saving in its customers’ plants.
