Key Features & Advantages
Oil-Free & Contamination-Controlled Compression
The ZW-1.0/8-10 incorporates an oil-free lubrication design intended to prevent compressor oil from entering the processed medium.
This makes the compressor suitable for applications where gas purity and contamination control are important, particularly when handling isobutylene, LPG and other hydrocarbon gases.
D-Type Symmetrical Balance Structure
The D-type symmetrical balance configuration is designed to help balance operating forces and reduce vibration during compressor operation.
This contributes to stable mechanical operation and supports the service life of components such as pistons and cylinders.
Efficient Industrial Operation
The compressor is designed for efficient operation with a degree of automation intended to reduce unnecessary manual intervention during normal operation.
Its configuration is suitable for continuous industrial gas compression and transfer applications.
Compact Equipment Design
With approximate dimensions of 1650 × 650 × 1050 mm, the compressor offers a compact footprint for integration into LPG stations, chemical facilities and other gas handling installations.
Reduced Maintenance Requirements
The compressor’s design is intended to reduce the number of frequently wearing components and simplify routine inspection and maintenance.
Accessible equipment components can support easier servicing and help reduce unnecessary downtime.
Low-Vibration Operation
The balanced compressor structure is designed to support relatively low vibration and stable operation, which can be beneficial in industrial facilities where equipment operating conditions and surrounding working environments need to be considered.

Drive Options
The standard electric motor drive can be adapted for specific project requirements, with diesel engine drive available for applications where suitable electrical power is not readily available.
Compatible Gas Applications
In addition to isobutylene and LPG applications, the compressor configuration may be suitable for other compatible low-boiling or volatile media.
The source specifications identify applications involving:
- Butane
- Isobutane
- Butadiene
- Isoprene
- Mixed Butane / Isobutane / n-Pentane
- Vinyl Chloride
- Chloromethane
- Ethylene Oxide
- Propylene Oxide

For toxic, corrosive or chemically reactive gases, the final compressor configuration must be specifically engineered according to the gas properties, material compatibility, sealing requirements and operating conditions.
Applications
LPG Storage & Distribution Stations
The ZW-1.0/8-10 can be integrated into LPG storage and distribution systems for applications such as:
- LPG loading
- LPG unloading
- LPG transfer
- Residual gas recovery
- Storage pressure management
LPG Mixing Stations
The compressor can provide controlled compression for LPG mixing processes involving compatible gas streams.
It can support systems where consistent gas transfer and pressure control are required during blending operations.
Gasification Plants
The compressor can be incorporated into gasification facilities handling LPG and compatible volatile gases, supporting gas transfer between storage and process equipment.
Canning & Cylinder Filling Facilities
The compressor can be used in suitable gas filling and canning systems where controlled gas compression and transfer are required for cylinder or container filling operations.
Automobile LPG Refueling Stations
The ZW-1.0/8-10 can be considered for LPG refueling installations requiring controlled gas transfer and compression between storage systems and vehicle fueling equipment.
Chemical Gas Applications
The compressor can also be considered for selected chemical and petrochemical gas applications involving compatible media.
Potential applications include handling of:
Mixed Butane / Isobutane / n-Pentane
Suitable for selected hydrocarbon gas handling and transfer systems where the gas properties fall within the compressor’s design parameters.
Vinyl Chloride / Chloromethane
Applications involving toxic or chemically sensitive gases require specialized sealing, materials and safety configurations.
Ethylene Oxide / Propylene Oxide
These applications require careful engineering consideration of material compatibility, sealing, process safety and operating conditions.
Dimethylamine
For corrosive or hazardous chemical gases, the compressor configuration should be specifically selected according to the gas properties and process requirements.
Safety Optimization for Volatile Media
The handling of isobutylene, LPG and other volatile hydrocarbon gases requires appropriate process safety measures.
The compressor configuration can incorporate safety-oriented engineering features such as suitable sealing systems, pressure protection and hazardous-area-compatible equipment where required.
For applications involving toxic or corrosive gases, specialized material and sealing selection is particularly important.
Depending on the project, the complete system may require:

- Pressure relief valves
- Gas-tight sealing systems
- Gas detection
- Emergency shutdown systems
- Appropriate ventilation
- Pressure and temperature monitoring
- Grounding and bonding
- Gas-compatible piping and seals
The final safety configuration should be determined according to the actual gas characteristics, hazardous-area classification, applicable standards and project-specific requirements.
