Integrally geared centrifugal compressors for process gases
Optimize your production efficiency with our integrally geared centrifugal compressors, designed for high-speed, continuous gas processing applications that demand reliable compression performance in complex industrial settings.

Compresses Process Gases Efficiently and Continuously
The Integrally Geared Centrifugal Compressors API 617 and 672 by BORSIG ZM Compression GmbH efficiently handle a wide range of industrial gas compression needs. These multi-stage compressors are engineered for pulsation-free, oil-free fluid compression, utilizing a cutting-edge design that includes speed variation and cooling between each stage. Primarily used in petrochemical, refinery, gas treatment, fertilizer, power plant, and steel industries, they support the production of ethylene, propylene, ammonia, methanol, and more. Capable of reaching discharge pressures up to 200 bara and flow capacities up to 300,000 m³/h, these compressors are designed for seamless integration in high-throughput environments. They are API compliant (617 and 672), ensuring reliability and performance, with an oil system designed to the manufacturer’s standard or API 614. Featuring inlet guide vane control and axial flow blades, they offer exceptional efficiency and long operational life. Customization is available to meet specific operational requirements, and each unit is backed by BORSIG’s world-class engineering support and service network.
