Highly efficient compressors trains - from a single source 

The energy required for air separation processes is considerable. Over the decades, the highly efficient compressors from Everllence (former MAN Energy Solutions) have helped many businesses to cut costs and greenhouse gas emissions.  

Everllence has a long history of developing and supplying some of the most reliable, cost-efficient compressors on the market for all types of gases in air separation: air, dry air, nitrogen, and oxygen. So, with us, you can source your entire compressor-train and subsequent maintenance from a single source. Check out our isothermal, axial, or integrally geared compressor ranges for more information.

EM-driven compressors & AIRTRAINs

Air separation units (ASU) are used in many applications in industries ranging from iron and steel to food and medical gases as well as in the production of green ammonia and methanol. We have supplied over 80 AIRTRAINs and hundreds of electric motor(EM)-driven compressors to air separation plants worldwide. Everllence can supply either AIRTRAINs that consist of steam-turbine-driven main air compressor (MAC) and booster air compressor (BAC) or separate MACs, BACs and NICs (nitrogen compressor) with electric motor drive. Our comprehensive product range can be tailored to your needs, effectively addressing oxygen requirements ranging from 500 tpd to 5,000 tpd. 

Ultra-large air separation units

AR-MAX1, our standardized axial/radial main air compressor, really is a piece of equipment you can rely on. As one of the leading large air separation units (LASU) on the market, it delivers volume flows up to 1.5 million cubic meters per hour, easily handles pressures up to 25 bar, and exhibits optimum robustness. And when it comes to transportability, AIRMAX trains are very competitive due to their high speed and consequentially its compact design.

Oxygen compressors

We have over half a century of experience in designing oxygen turbo compressors and have supplied several hundred casings to the market. We exclusively use single-shaft compressors for this purpose, with impellers, diffusers, and labyrinth strips manufactured from non-sparking, ignition-resistant materials. Putting safety first also means eliminating dead spaces where particles could accumulate, and an emergency thrust bearing in each compressor casing.

MAX1 axial compressor for flue gas

MAX flow. Carbon capture.

Capturing CO2 from flue gases is an attractive proposition for high-emission industries, reducing carbon taxes and enhancing your contribution to environmental protection. The main challenge is separating the CO2 from the high-volume flows of post-combustion flue gases. The Everllence MAX1 axial compressor is the best solution on the market as it can handle flue gas volumes of up to 1.5 million m3/hour.
