Description
Our process piston compressor packages provide a complete separation of the product from the crankcase. Cylinders are lined for longevity and corrosion resistance. With the safeguards built into our process compressors, they are the best choice for dangerous or difficult gases. We incorporate features such as buffer-purged packing cases and/or double compartment distance pieces, water-cooled cylinders with removable dry liners, and materials engineered to meet any compression application. Piston compressor packages offer control and containment of the process gas.
Modular design provides complete flexibility, allowing each application to be supplied with a compressor that matches its specifications.
Piston compressors are designed to API 618 for process applications.
We have been developing compressors for special gas applications since 1956, and have provided more than 2500 piston compressor packages over the world. They operate in high specification applications such as gas handling for the food industry, and hazardous gas handling for the petrochemical and oil refining sectors.
Our piston compressor design incorporates the following features
dry (non lube) compressor technology
API 618, 4th edition compressor design
pressure vessels in accordance with applicable international codes
complete "plug and play" packages integrating control systems, gas regulation equipment, and gas treatment equipment
package design tailored to the process
specific technical assessment of each application
easy maintenance mostly handled by the operators themselves
