Just before our vacation to Minnesota last month Agrium decided to keep our plant running at least another year. Ammonia and Urea prices are very high now. Natural gas is also expensive, but we will have enough gas for the plant, at a resonable cost, for the next year.
The Syngas compressor below is one of the most powerful in Alaska @ 38,000 horsepower. It uses a 1500# steam turbine and a 550# turbine (to the right and out of the photo) to make it spin 10,400 rpm's. That compresses the synthesis gas from 350 lbs. to over 3000 lbs.
This is the 1500# turbine taken apart a few years ago.
One final picture of hard, dirty work.... Must've been night shift after a big meal.
