Application of methane compressor

Methane compressor plays an important role in many fields, mainly including the following aspects：‌

‌1.Natural gas storage and transportation: Methane compressors can compress low-pressure natural gas into high pressure state, making it easy to store in high pressure containers, which not only improves the safety of storage, but also makes it possible to transport natural gas remotely.

‌2.Industrial and civil applications: Compressed natural gas can be used as a power source, widely used in logistics transportation, underground mining, civil natural gas and natural gas power generation and other fields. Its efficient and environmentally friendly characteristics make it an important part of the modern energy system.

‌3.Coalbed methane extraction and transportation: In the process of coalbed methane extraction and transportation, methane compressors reduce the volume of gas to increase its pressure, so that it can be extracted from underground and compressed to an appropriate pressure level for subsequent processing and utilization.

Working principle

The working principle of a methane compressor is based on the fundamental principles of gas compression. By performing work on the gas through the impeller, it utilizes centrifugal pressure boosting and velocity reduction expansion to convert mechanical energy into the pressure energy of the gas. Specifically, the pressure of the gas increases under the rotational action of the impeller, and then further boosts in the diffuser.

Type and characteristics

There are many types of methane compressors, each type has its own unique characteristics and application scenarios：

Piston compressor: simple structure, suitable for small scale or low pressure applications.

Screw compressor: stable operation, low noise, high energy efficiency, widely used in a variety of industrial fields.

Centrifugal compressor: suitable for large-scale, high pressure application scenarios, with the advantages of large processing capacity and high efficiency.

These compressors usually have the characteristics of high efficiency, energy saving, stable operation, safety and reliability, and can meet the needs of various application scenarios.
