Pipeline Compressors - Compressors for Natural Gas Pipelines
Through the efforts of the past twenty years development, Comair pipeline compressors are available in a wide range. The discharging pressure could reach 4,350 psi / 300 barg and their inlet flow rate could be as large as 62,800 SCFM / 106,700 m3/h. Please talk to our experts with your project requirements! We are sure we could supply the best possible pipeline compressors to you.
Thanks to the continuous efforts of our technical department, our pipeline compressors could meet the highest industrial safety standards and regulations. Our centrifugal pipeline compressors are made in accordance with API 617 while reciprocating pipeline compressors with API 618. They also satisfy other standards including ASME, ISO 13631, ATEX Directive.
Comair pipeline compressors could be driven by high speed electrical motors, natural gas engines, as well as gas turbines. All the driven methods are proved to be reliable by many reference cases, which you can totally trust and choose according to your project powering conditions.
Types Of Pipeline Compressor
Centrifugal Pipeline CompressorMaximum working pressure of up to 155 bar & max inlet flow rate of up to 106,700 m3/h. Designed for large flow rate of continuous operation.
Reciprocating Piston Pipeline CompressorDesigned for ultra high pressure requirement, high efficiency, and adaptable for various working conditions.
Screw Pipeline CompressorCompact structure with stable running, capable of handling gases with impurities and liquid.
Comair Pipeline Compressors, Unrivalled Energy Efficiency
We offer a wide range of pipeline compressors with a choice of centrifugal type or reciprocating type. Thanks to the application of variable speed drive technology, both allow for flow adjusting from 30% to 100% so it could save energy cost by over 30% during natural gas flow fluctuation periods. All our pipeline compressors are designed for easy access to the internal parts without extra pipe removal so the downtime during maintenance and repairing could be minimized. To ensure best possible efficiency, each compressing chamber is customized according to the client’s requirements and working conditions.
Safety & Environmental Compliance Comes First
Comair pipeline compressors are all designed with safety and environmental compliance coming first. All the pipeline compressors are under strict air tightness test in the factory so as to ensure zero gas leakage into the environment; they are manufactured strictly in compliance with all the safety standards including ATEX, ASME, and API. And their emergency button is easily accessible for any sudden required protection.

We can manufacture and deliver over 200 units of pipeline compressors yearly, which are all specially designed according to our clients’ project details and working conditions. Our factory covers an area of over 10,000 square meters which has all processing equipment as well as a testing center. Please contact us so we can show you around our factory and the production facilities.
A natural gas pipeline compressor station is a facility that includes compressors, scrubber and filters, dehydrators and also gas cooling systems. We can easily understand that it is just like the expressway service area. These stations are built along the natural gas transmission line to increase the natural gas pressures, remove the dusts and particles, and also remove the possible moisture. So the natural gas could efficiently flow to its destination.
Natural gas compression is the process of increasing the natural gas pressure by either reciprocating compressors or centrifugal compressors. After increasing its pressure, it could be stored in the vehicles and cylinders in a large quantity. Moreover, in the natural gas transportation of long distances, its pressure will drop gradually over the traveling due to frictions and elevation changes. Natural gas compression will help to ensure the flow efficiency to the end users from the production sites.
Pipeline compressors are usually required to deliver large flow rates as well as a relatively high pressure. Comair has both centrifugal pipeline compressors and reciprocating piston pipeline compressors which have all been used in natural gas pipelines. For extremely large flow rates with high efficiency and continuous operation required, we would like to suggest our centrifugal pipeline compressors; While for ultra high discharging pressure, our reciprocating piston pipeline compressor will be a preferred choice.
The pipeline compressor station is usually constructed along the natural gas transportation line at intervals typically between 40-100 miles. It collects the incoming gas, boosting its pressure and leading it to the next station. Apart from the core equipment, pipeline compressors, there are some other key components which are important to the pipeline compressor station operation including Gas Filtration Units like filters, gas scrubbers, gas dehydration units.
The size and number of compressors for natural gas transmission vary based on the inlet pressures, discharging pressures, volume of gas to be moved and distance it must travel to the next station. And those are actually the basic information required for compressor sizing.
