Natural gas compression system
Optimize gas compression and boost efficiency with advanced screw technology, designed for seamless handling of natural, synthetic, and mixed gases across continuous and high-speed workflow operations.
Compresses and Processes Natural and Industrial Gases
The GEA Grasso M and GEA Grasso LT gas screw compressors are engineered for rigorous demands in the oil, gas extraction, and chemical processing industries. Leveraging GEA’s expertise, these compressors utilize a twin-rotor screw mechanism that ensures efficient gas compression by maintaining continuous, low-vibration operations suitable for varied gas types. They excel in applications such as natural gas processing, biogas compression, and chemical synthesis.
Designed for integration within existing infrastructures, these compressors support a swept volume range from 231 to 13,846 m³/h, catering to both small-scale and extensive operations. With a design pressure capacity of up to 52 bar and compliance with API 619, ATEX, and ISO 10440 standards, the units offer reliability and safety across high-pressure tasks.
The GEA Grasso compressors afford significant energy efficiency, thanks to variable-speed options ranging from 1,000 to 6,000 rpm, reducing operational costs in high-speed continuous environments. Built for durability, they are available in corrosion-resistant materials, extending service life while simplifying maintenance with easy-access components and minimal foundation requirements. Available customization and engineering support ensure these compressors meet unique operational specifications, enabling seamless deployment across various industrial gas processing settings.
