High Pressure Hazardous & Toxic Gas Compressors

Toxic gases are a specific category of hazardous process gases and place particularly high demands on operational safety, gas containment and process reliability. Applications involving gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) require compressor solutions specifically engineered to prevent leakage and ensure safe long-term operation.

Hazardous process gas mixtures, including certain recycle and flare gases, may also contain toxic, corrosive, flammable or otherwise critical components. Their exact composition must therefore be considered when selecting materials, sealing concepts, safety systems and compressor configuration.

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

Typical applications include:
