Evacuate Pipelines | Eliminates Flaring | Accelerate Purging | Portable | Set & Forget PLC Control
The PSC250 Pipeline Service Compressor is a 3–stage (reciprocating and rotary screw) natural gas compressor for evacuating natural gas pipelines with pressures up to 1,440 psi (9,900 kPa). Isolated sections of pipeline are evacuated and discharged into an adjacent section of pipeline.
The PSC250 compressor completely eliminates flaring, venting and the associated environmental impacts while conserving saleable natural gas. As gas is not released during the evacuation process, the compressor can be operated in built up and urban areas, reducing the length of pipeline isolation required and allowing for faster service with less disruption to customers.
Trailer or skid mounted and engine powered from pipeline gas, performance can be monitored remotely with real-time status on any web-enabled device. Operation is fully PLC controlled and automated based upon user configured parameters and setpoints.
Standard Features
