Process gas compressors are machines that are used to increase the pressure of a gas, such as air, so that it can be used for a specific purpose. These compressors are used in many different industries, including oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation. The purpose of a process gas compressor is to increase the pressure of the gas, making it more efficient and economical to use.
Process gas compressors are usually either positive displacement or dynamic compressors. Positive displacement compressors work by trapping a volume of gas in a chamber and then reducing the chamber’s volume to increase the gas pressure. This type of compressor is often used in oil and gas applications, as it is able to handle high volumes of gas. Dynamic compressors, on the other hand, use a rotating impeller to increase the gas pressure. These compressors are often used in petrochemical and power generation applications, as they are able to handle large amounts of gas.
