Natural Gas Compressor Buying Guide

Natural gas compressors move or pressurise gas in transmission, storage and industrial applications. Selecting the right type depends on flow, pressure ratio and safety requirements.

Compressor Types

  • Reciprocating machines for high pressure and low flow.
  • Screw machines for medium flow and lower pressure.
  • Centrifugal machines for very high flow.

Key Selection Criteria

  • Suction and discharge pressure.
  • Gas composition and impurities.
  • Flow rate and duty cycle.

Safety and Compliance

  • Explosion-proof motors and leak detection.
  • Compliance with gas handling standards.
  • Ventilation and gas monitoring systems.

What is the difference between gas and air compressors?

Gas compressors are sealed and built with materials and safety features suited to flammable or toxic gases.
