CO₂ & Syngas

Knox Western’s CO₂ and Syngas Reciprocating Compressors are engineered to meet the highest standards of safety, purity, and performance in complex industrial processes. Built in strict compliance with API 618 standards, our compressors are optimized for applications where oil-free, leak-tight operation is critical.

‍

Key Features & Benefits:

‍

• Oil-Free Compression: Non-lubricated cylinder technology eliminates the risk of hydrocarbon contamination, ensuring pure CO₂ and syngas streams for sensitive downstream processes.
• API 618 Compliance: Provides robust design for continuous duty, covering pulsation control, rotor dynamics, and mechanical integrity.
• Leak-Tight Construction: Advanced sealing systems minimize fugitive emissions, critical for handling hazardous gases such as carbon monoxide.
• High Safety Standards: Engineered for reliable operation under elevated pressures and temperatures, with a focus on safe containment of toxic and flammable syngas mixtures.
• Custom Configurations: Single- and multi-stage modular designs to meet specific flow rates, discharge pressures, and duty conditions.

Application Areas:

‍

Our Compressors are deployed globally in key industrial sectors, including:

• Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS): Compression of CO₂ for sequestration, pipeline transport, and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)
• Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) Processes: Reliable compression of syngas (H₂ + CO mixtures) for Fischer-Tropsch and downstream conversion
• Methanol & Ammonia Production: High-purity, leak-tight compression essential for synthesis gas feed streams
• Beverage Industry: Food-grade CO₂ compression
• Industrial Gases: CO₂ recovery and syngas handling
