Industrial Gas Compressor Systems

Aegis Projects provides engineered packaged gas compressor systems for industrial and process applications.

Compressor packages can be configured according to:

  • Gas type

  • Suction pressure
  • Discharge pressure
  • Operating temperature
  • Compression ratio
  • Required number of stages
  • Cooling requirements
  • Drive arrangement
  • Installation environment
  • Automation requirements

Depending on the application, packages can incorporate reciprocating compressors, suitable gas compression equipment, motors or engines, cooling systems, piping, valves, instrumentation and control systems.

Packaged Gas Compressor Systems

A packaged compressor system combines the major compression equipment and supporting components into a coordinated skid-mounted package.

Typical components may include:

  • Industrial gas compressor
  • Electric motor or suitable drive
  • Gas inlet and discharge piping
  • Suction and discharge valves
  • Gas filtration
  • Interstage cooling where required
  • Aftercooling
  • Pressure instrumentation
  • Temperature instrumentation
  • Safety relief devices
  • Check valves
  • Control panel
  • PLC automation
  • HMI
  • Skid-mounted structural frame

The final configuration is selected according to the gas service and project requirements.

Gas Compression Applications

Aegis Projects can engineer gas compression packages for applications including:

Railcar Unloading

Gas compression equipment can be configured to assist with controlled evacuation, transfer and unloading of suitable liquefied or compressed gases from railcars.

Tanker Truck Unloading

Compressor packages can be used for gas transfer and evacuation during tanker unloading operations, depending on the gas and process conditions.

Liquefied Gas Transfer

Gas compressor systems can support the transfer of suitable liquefied gases between storage vessels, transport equipment and process systems.

Gas Transfer & Boosting

Packaged compressors can be used to increase gas pressure and facilitate movement through industrial process or distribution systems.

Vapor Recovery

Gas compression equipment can be integrated into vapor recovery systems to capture and recover suitable hydrocarbon vapors generated during storage and transfer operations.

Natural Gas Compression

Engineered compressor packages can support natural gas gathering, transfer, boosting and other gas compression applications.

Natural Gas Vapor Recovery Units

Natural Gas Vapor Recovery Units (VRUs) are designed to recover vapors that may otherwise be lost during the storage or transfer of natural gas and hydrocarbon products.

A typical VRU may include:

  • Gas compressor
  • Knockout vessel
  • Inlet filtration
  • Pressure and temperature instrumentation
  • Gas piping
  • Isolation valves
  • Relief protection
  • Control panel
  • PLC/HMI automation
  • Skid-mounted structure

Vapor recovery systems can help recover product value while supporting appropriate emissions-management strategies.

The final VRU design depends on the gas composition, vapor flow, pressure range, temperature and site-specific requirements.

Compressor Service & Rebuild

Regular maintenance and appropriate servicing are important for maintaining the reliability and operating performance of industrial gas compression equipment.

Aegis Projects can support compressor service requirements such as:

  • Compressor inspection
  • Preventive maintenance
  • Component replacement
  • Compressor overhaul
  • Mechanical inspection
  • Seal and packing inspection
  • Valve inspection
  • Lubrication-system inspection
  • Cooling-system inspection
  • Performance checks
  • Rebuild support
  • Recertification support where applicable

The exact service scope depends on the compressor model, manufacturer, operating history and condition of the equipment.

Gas Compressor Replacement Parts

Aegis Projects can assist with sourcing and supplying gas compressor replacement parts and accessories for suitable industrial compression equipment.

Depending on availability and equipment requirements, replacement components may include:

  • Compressor valves
  • Piston components
  • Piston rings
  • Packing components
  • Seals
  • Bearings
  • Gaskets
  • Filters
  • Couplings
  • Lubrication components
  • Cooling-system components
  • Instrumentation
  • Control components
  • Other compressor accessories

Part selection should be based on the compressor manufacturer, model, serial information and equipment specification to ensure compatibility.

Compressor Automation & Controls

Gas compressor packages can be equipped with dedicated automation or integrated with an existing plant control system.

Automation options can include:

  • PLC-based compressor control
  • HMI interface
  • Automatic start/stop
  • Pressure monitoring
  • Temperature monitoring
  • Flow monitoring
  • Lubrication monitoring
  • Cooling-system monitoring
  • High-pressure shutdown
  • High-temperature shutdown
  • Low-pressure protection
  • Motor overload protection
  • Emergency shutdown
  • Alarm indication
  • Remote monitoring or control where required

Control architecture can be customized according to the plant’s existing automation system.

Custom Gas Compression Packages

Aegis Projects develops gas compression systems according to the requirements of the individual application.

Engineering considerations may include:
