Gas Jet Compressors

• Comparatively low initial cost
• Little maintenance needed
• No moving parts
• Simple in construction
• Wide range of materials such as steal; stainless steel; cast iron; bronze; Teflon and graphite

Gas jet compressors have extensive applications in natural gas industry. These include

• By means of natural gas under pressure (e.g. well pressure), they suck gas from underground reservoirs and compress the mixture to pipeline pressure.
• Mixing two different types of natural gas with different heating value in proportion to obtain a constant specific heating value for gas network.
• In peak conditions in gas networks when there is natural gas shortage, Gas jet compressors utilizing evaporated liquefied gas (propane, butane, etc) serve to suck air from atmosphere and produce a mixture with similar characteristics to those of natural gas.
• In natural gas exploitation sites gas jet compressors motivated by the pressure side of turbo-compressors handling natural gas, suck the gas in their spiral housing at a pressure of 3 bar, and compress it to 16 bar, to prevent its leakage from shaft seal points crossing the housing.
• Propelling the gas stored in gas tanks at huge flow rates of thousands of cubic meters per hour
• Compressing the residual gases to atmospheric pressure during natural gas processing

Other application are

• Paper industry
• Petroleum production
• Power generation
• Process industry
• Sucking and mixing natural gas with exhaust gas, air or other gases and conveying the mixture to the combustion chamber
• Sucking in and mixing atmospheric refinery heating gases with process gases (exploitation of flare exhaust gases)

• Cast iron
• Cast stainless steel
• Other materials on request
• Steel or stainless steel
• Temperature change resistant porcelain

In the case of gas jet compressors, to avoid reflux from pressure pipe into the gas tank, a non-return valve is needed on the suction pipe.
