    Fig. 5 Shows A Typical Compressor Used For: Fig. 4 Schematic Diagram of Oil-Flooded Screw Compressor

    The document discusses oil-flooded screw compressors and their applications. It describes how the lubricating oil used in these compressors can have its viscosity decreased if heavy hydrocarbons dissolve into it from the gas being compressed. This can damage parts by depleting the oil film. However, a new synthetic oil, PAG, has resistance to this and allows oil-flooded screw compressors to be used for compressing hydrocarbon-containing gases. One such application described is using these compressors for desulfurizing fuel, which requires high reliability and pressures up to 100 barG.
