Industrial Gas
Compressor Solutions
Corken offers one of the most versatile lines of small horsepower (7.5 to 75 hp) reciprocating gas compressors in the world. Designs include vertical and horizontal, single- or two-stage compression, double or triple packing, air or water-cooled option, and NPT or Class 300 RF connections.
Double Packed Reciprocating
Compressors (Oil Free)
- Utilizes two sets of V-ring packing per piston rod and one distance piece
- Adjustable packing screw on lower packing maximizes sealing performance over the life of the packing
- Oil-free gas compression (exceptions: models 791 and 891 are not oil free)
- Typically used in toxic and corrosive applications where oil-free gas is required and moderate leakage containment is desirable
Operating Specifications
| Piston displacement: | up to 117 cfm (198.8 m3/hr) |
| Working pressure: | up to 1,200 psi (82.8 bar g) |
| Brake horsepowers: | up to 45 hp (34 kW) |
| Maximum outlet temperature: | 350°F (177°C) |
Triple Packing Reciprocating
Compressors (Oil Free)
- Utilizes three sets of V-ring packing per piston rod and two distance pieces
- Adjustable packing screw on lower packing maximizes sealing performance over the life of the packing
- Oil-free gas compression
- Typically used in toxic and corrosive applications where oil-free gas and maximum leakage containment are critical
Operating Specifications
| Piston displacement: | up to 117 cfm (198.8 m3/hr) |
| Working pressure: | up to 1,200 psi (82.8 bar g) |
| Brake horsepowers: | up to 45 hp (34 kW) |
| Maximum outlet temperature: | 350°F (177°C) |
Single Packed Reciprocating
Compressors (Non Oil Free)
- Utilizes one set of segmented packing per piston rod
- Typically used in non-toxic, non-corrosive applications where oil-free gas is not required and leakage containment are not critical
- Multiple mounting options
- No distance piece
- Does not offer oil free compression
Operating Specifications
| Piston displacement: | up to 414 cfm (704 m3/hr) |
| Working pressure: | up to 1,650 psi (113.8 bar g) |
| Brake horsepower: | up to 75 hp (55.9 kW) |
| Maximum outlet temperature: | 350°F (177°C) |
Triple Packed Reciprocating
Compressors (Oil Free)
- Utilizes three sets of segmented packing per piston rod and two distance pieces
- Oil wiper rings and oil deflector rings prevent oil carryover
- Oil-free gas compression
- Typically used in toxic and corrosive applications where oil-free gas is required and maximum leakage containment are critical
- Multiple mounting options
Operating Specifications
| Piston displacement: | up to 414 cfm (704 m3/hr) |
| Working pressure: | up to 1,650 psi (113.8 bar g) |
| Brake horsepowers: | up to 75 hp (55.9 kW) |

Liquid Transfer Solutions
Liquid transfer and vapor recovery applications can be found at tank car unloadingterminals, chemical plants, manufacturing plants, and many more industrial sites. Corken’s vertical reciprocating compressors are commonly used in stationary, mobile or transport applications involving liquid transfer and vapor recovery. Many times industrial compressors are mounted to a trailer or transport and used for tank truck unloading applications.
Pressure Boosting Solutions
Gas and air boosting applications are a great fit for Corken’s industrial reciprocating compressors. As a natural gas well approaches the end of it’s life, the gas pressure starts to drop. Many times an industrial compressor is used to boost the gas pressure flowing to the pipeline.
In air boosting applications for hand tools and equipment, the vast majority of plant-air systems are capable of generating up to 125 psig (8.6 bar). Special considerations within a plant may require oil-free or lubricated air at higher pressures. A Corken air booster compressor can increase the existing pressure to 1,080 psig (74.4 bar).
Evacuation Solutions
Reciprocating compressors are commonly mounted to a special skid with various other accessories creating a mobile evacuation unit. They are transported by trailer or truck to an emergency evacuation site or to a plant performing routine maintenance on one of its tanks.
