Tailor-Made High Pressure Compressor Packages

LMF develops and manufactures reciprocating high pressure compressors for all gases and gas mixtures except pure oxygen and integrates them into complete tailor-made compressor packages.

Every package is engineered around the specific compression task. Gas composition, process parameters, operating profile, applicable specifications, installation environment and site interfaces determine the compressor and complete system configuration.

LMF’s scope ranges from a compressor unit with selected auxiliaries to a fully integrated, automated and tested compressor package.

Engineered Around the Process

Package engineering begins with the required process conditions. Depending on the project, LMF evaluates:

  • Gas composition and required gas quality

  • Suction and discharge conditions
  • Required capacity and pressure ratio
  • Continuous, intermittent or variable operation
  • Ambient and site conditions
  • Available space and transport restrictions
  • Utilities and plant interfaces
  • Applicable standards and customer specifications

The compressor, driver, cooling system, piping, instrumentation and controls are developed as one coordinated system.

Built Around the Appropriate Compressor

Tailor-made packages can be based on different LMF reciprocating compressor solutions:

Mechanical compressor arrangement, execution standard, cooling and lubrication are selected independently according to the individual project requirements.

Package Configurations

Depending on transportation, installation and operating requirements, LMF compressor packages can be supplied as:

  • Skid-mounted units
  • Single-lift packages
  • Modular systems
  • Enclosed packages
  • Containerized systems
  • Indoor or outdoor installations

Transportable solutions for temporary operations are available as Mobile Compressor Units.

Scope of Supply

Depending on the project requirements, an LMF compressor package can include:

  • Compressor and driver
  • Coupling, gearbox or transmission system
  • Intercoolers and aftercooler
  • Cooling and lubrication systems
  • Piping and pressure vessels
  • Gas treatment and filtration
  • Instrumentation and safety equipment
  • Electrical equipment and control system
  • Skid, structure, enclosure or container

The final scope is defined according to the required system boundaries and customer interfaces.

One-Stop Shop – Engineered in Austria

LMF combines process and compressor engineering, compressor manufacturing, mechanical package design, piping, electrical engineering, automation, assembly and project-specific testing within one organization.

Design and engineering are based at LMF’s headquarters in Austria. This one-stop-shop approach reduces interface complexity and provides one central partner from the initial process evaluation through package integration and testing to commissioning and service.

Gases and Applications

LMF develops tailor-made compressor packages for air and for all gases and gas mixtures except pure oxygen. Materials, sealing concepts, lubrication and auxiliary systems are selected according to the complete gas composition and operating conditions.
