Gas (Hydrogen) Booster Compressor
A flexible compression solution using a screw compressor with less (gas) vibrations and lower maintenance costs
Page last modified
August 4 2023
Eltacon supplies gas compressor packages in a wide range of alternative executions, all based on oil-injected twin rotary screw compressors. The choice for this type is based on the better economics and the higher compression ratio of the oil-injected screw compared to other type compressors. Especially developed for gas fired power plants, the units are suitable for Hydrogen compression as well. The units can be supplied with an integrated package control room, air-cooled cooling water systems as well as a fire-fighting system.
Pro/con
Highly flexible solution, suitable for fluctuating inlet pressures and varying outputs due to variable compression ratios
Low vibration and wear of rotating parts compared to other technologies, increasing the availability to 99,5% per year
Skid mounted units with a robust design for a single lift, turn-key solution
Flexible and fast capacity regulation, even down to no-load without additional cooling requirements or venting facilities
