High Pressure Gas Mixture Compressors

Gas mixture compression is defined by the interaction of multiple gas components under specific process conditions. Even small variations in composition can influence compressor performance, material selection, sealing concepts and the potential formation of condensates. No two gas mixture compression applications are therefore exactly alike.

Reliable compression begins with a detailed understanding of the complete gas composition, including relevant trace components, and the underlying process. The required pressure and capacity, temperatures, operating profile and potential changes in gas composition must all be considered when configuring the compressor solution.

With more than 80 years of experience in reciprocating high pressure compressor technology, LMF develops tailor-made compressor solutions for complex gas mixtures, syngas and synthetic process gases worldwide. Every solution is individually engineered according to the complete gas composition, process requirements and operating conditions.

LMF develops reciprocating high pressure compressor solutions for complex gas mixtures, syngas and synthetic process gases. Depending on the application and project requirements, LMF provides ISO 13631 and API 618 compressor solutions.

Reciprocating compressors enable flexible adaptation of materials, sealing concepts, compressor configuration and operating parameters to the specific gas composition and process conditions.

Gas mixtures consist of multiple components with different physical, chemical and thermodynamic properties. Even small changes in composition can influence compressor performance, discharge temperatures, material compatibility, sealing concepts and condensation behavior.

Every LMF compressor solution is therefore individually engineered according to the complete gas composition and expected operating range.

Yes. Every LMF gas mixture compressor solution is individually engineered according to the required pressure, capacity, complete gas composition, operating conditions and process requirements.

This tailor-made approach ensures that the compressor configuration, materials, sealing concepts and auxiliary systems are suitable for the specific application.

A complete gas analysis is required, including the concentration of all main components and relevant trace substances. The required suction and discharge pressures, inlet temperature, capacity, operating profile and expected variations in gas composition must also be defined.

Additional information may be required depending on potential condensation, corrosive components, toxicity, flammability and other process-specific factors.

Yes. Depending on the gas composition, purity requirements, process conditions and application, LMF provides both lubricated and non-lubricated cylinder configurations.
