Gas Infrastructure Compression Solutions

Reliable compression is essential for transporting, storing, recovering and distributing gases. From temporary pipeline operations to permanent LNG and CNG facilities, compressor solutions must handle changing pressures, different gas compositions and demanding operating environments.

Gas infrastructure projects may require permanent compressor packages for continuous operation or mobile units that provide temporary compression capacity directly at the site. The appropriate solution depends on the gas, required pressure and capacity, operating profile, installation environment and applicable project specifications.

With more than 80 years of experience in reciprocating high pressure compressor technology and more than 40 years of expertise in mobile gas infrastructure solutions, LMF develops tailor-made compressor solutions for permanent and temporary applications worldwide.

FAQs

LMF develops compressor solutions for pipeline evacuation, pipeline testing, well stimulation, enhanced oil recovery, CNG, LNG and boil-off gas applications. Solutions are available for both permanent installations and temporary on-site operations.

Depending on the application, LMF compressor solutions can handle natural gas, biomethane, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen and application-specific gas mixtures. The gas composition and expected operating range are evaluated for every project.

Yes. LMF provides mobile compressor units for applications including pipeline evacuation, pipeline testing and well services. Their precise configuration, mobility concept and site requirements are determined according to the intended application and applicable regulations.

Depending on the application, LMF provides mobile compressor units, trunk-type compressors, ISO 13631 compressors and API 618 compressors. The appropriate technology depends on the gas, required pressure and capacity, operating profile and project specifications.

Initial selection generally requires the gas composition, suction and discharge pressures, required capacity, gas temperature, operating profile, installation environment and applicable standards. For mobile applications, site access, utility availability and mobility requirements must also be considered.
