Pipeline Service Compressor – PSC

The PSC250 Pipeline Service Compressor is a state-of-the-art natural gas compressor designed to revolutionize pipeline evacuation operations. Engineered for efficiency and environmental sustainability, this 3-stage compressor eliminates flaring, venting, and associated emissions while conserving valuable saleable natural gas. With its portable design and automated functionality, the PSC250 is ideal for use in built-up and urban areas, enabling faster pipeline servicing with minimal disruption.

Key Features

Advanced Compression Capabilities

• 3-stage compression system allows for a pressure differential (ΔP) of up to 1,440 psi (9,900 kPa).
• Capable of achieving vacuum pressures as low as -3.0 psig, ensuring complete evacuation.

Self-Powered Efficiency

• Operates using natural gas from the pipeline as its power source, eliminating the need for external fuel or power.
• Aftercooler technology regulates discharge temperatures, protecting plastic and composite pipes.

Portable and User-Friendly Design

• Trailer or skid-mounted for rapid setup and easy transportation.
• Web-based HMI offers intuitive control and real-time status monitoring from any device.
• Fully configurable with automated operation based on user-defined parameters and stop conditions.

Environmentally Conscious

• Certified EPA/CARB compliant natural gas engine minimizes emissions.
• Conserves natural gas, preventing release into the atmosphere.

Benefits
