Rotary screw gas compressor manufacturers
Rotary screw gas compressor manufacturers
(OP)
Hi all,
Could you please suggest me the names of some US manufacturers that make reliable oil flooded rotary screw compressors for natural gas applications? The pressure ratio required is 6:1 in one stage and the gas flow rate is 3 MMSCFD.
Most companies that I've found so far make these machines for air compression applications only.
Thank you.

RE: Rotary screw gas compressor manufacturers
I do agree that a good packager is very essential for such a project. We wanted to make sure that we consider all the local manufacturers for our initial review before we approach any of the packagers.
Also, this compressor will be used on an offshore production platform. Could you share any additional precautions that need to be taken while getting the equipment packaged?
RE: Rotary screw gas compressor manufacturers
As to offshore, there are some pretty specific containment and electrical standards, a packager near the Gulf should be very aware of them. The big issue is often physical size and how do you fit the stuff you need (especially adequate cooling) onto the available deck space. I would expect to dump waste heat to the ocean, but having never done one of these offshore, I'm not confident what that looks like.
