Specialty gas compressors are used in a wide variety of applications and expert manufacturers like CPI Fluid Engineering have developed lubricants to serve them. These sector-specific lubricants are typically employed in applications in which mechanical downtime is exceptionally costly. As a result, CPI’s specially formulated solutions are designed to deliver optimal performance for a full range of different gas compositions.
How to select a speciality gas compressor lubricant
To work out the best speciality gas compressor lubricants, gas composition must be considered. CPI supplies solutions for both hydrocarbon gas applications and process gas applications. The key concern for hydrocarbon gas applications is dilution which can impact lubricant viscosity while in process gas applications chemical reactivity between the lubricant and gas is of prime importance. Its speciality gas compressor lubricants are designed to maintain optimum viscosity levels and promote downstream gas purity through compatibility.
Applications for speciality gas compressor lubricants
CPIs solutions are designed for working with compressors handling different gas compositions in a many different applications and environments. These include natural gas transportation, storage and gathering field as well as power plants and refineries. Lubricants also serve compressors used in chemical processing operations, vapour recovery systems and landfill gas sites.
Lubricants are specially engineered by CPI for critical-performance applications with zero tolerance for operational downtime. These premium lubrication solutions are more than worth their investment with their cost recovered through extended active service life of equipment and enhanced operational efficiency.
Advanced chemistries for maximum performance
CPI Fluid Engineering manufactures specialty gas compressor lubricants for a full spectrum of compressors including flooded rotary screw, centrifugal and reciprocating compressors. A lubrication industry leader, it engineers its chemistries with a complete range of performance characteristics. These include chemical inertness, low pour point, high viscosity index (VI), demulsibility, hydrolytic stability and lubricity. They are also engineered to offer high temperature stability, cold start up performance at low temperatures and resistance to volatility and hydrocarbon dilution. Contamination free, they have zero reactivity and are both metal and elastomer compatible while delivering enhanced protection from corrosion.
