High Pressure Compressors for Specialty and Process Gases

The gases presented on the previous pages represent only a selection of the gases and applications supported by LMF. Many industrial processes involve specialty gases, hydrocarbons, boil-off gases or other process gases with specific physical, chemical and thermodynamic properties.

Whether an application involves a pure gas, hydrocarbon, cryogenic boil-off gas or another technical process gas, the complete gas composition and operating conditions must be considered when selecting materials, sealing concepts and compressor configuration.

With more than 80 years of experience in reciprocating high pressure compressor technology, LMF develops tailor-made compressor solutions for all gases and gas mixtures, with the exception of pure oxygen. Every solution is individually engineered according to the exact gas composition, required pressure and capacity, operating conditions and process requirements.

If your gas is not listed on this website, our experts will evaluate your application and recommend a compressor solution tailored to your specific requirements.
