Overview


The VW-9.1/(0.05~0.1)-5 Natural Gas Compressor, manufactured by Bengbu United Compressor, is a cutting-edge solution designed for efficient natural gas compression across diverse industrial scenarios. Tailored to handle complex gas compositions, this compressor operates seamlessly with natural gas containing saturated water, dichloromethane, and 3.4% chlorinated hydrocarbons, with a chloride ion concentration of less than 300ppm—ensuring stability even in corrosive environments.



Boasting a processing capacity of 500Nm³/h, the compressor excels in both low-pressure intake and reliable discharge. It accepts gas at an inlet pressure of 5~10KPa.G and inlet temperature of 25-40℃, compressing it to an exhaust pressure of 0.5MPa.G with the power of a 55kW main motor. Its compact design—overall dimensions of ~3500 × 2200 × 1800 mm and weight of ~5T—makes it suitable for space-constrained sites, while its robust build guarantees long-term performance.



Ideal for oil and gas field development, the compressor enhances well productivity by supporting natural gas transportation, oil-gas separation, wellhead pressurization, and recovery of low-pressure associated gas—critical for unconventional gas extraction such as shale gas and coalbed methane. It also plays a key role in the LNG industry, facilitating pre-liquefaction boosting, storage peak shaving, and post-vaporization export pressurization, including BOG (boil-off gas) recovery at LNG terminals.



Features


Efficiency and Reliability


The VW-9.1/(0.05~0.1)-5 Natural Gas Compressor stands out for its enhanced efficiency and robust reliability, minimizing energy consumption while maximizing output. Its advanced automation system reduces manual intervention, lowering operational errors and labor costs. With fewer vulnerable components, it ensures stable operation with minimal downtime, making it a cost-effective choice for long-term projects.


Low vibration and noise levels further enhance its appeal, ensuring compliance with environmental standards and improving workplace safety. Maintenance is streamlined thanks to its user-friendly design, reducing the need for frequent repairs and extending service life.


Structural Advantages


Engineered as a V-type, water-cooled, oil-free lubrication reciprocating piston compressor, this model features a dual-column, two-stage compression design integrated into a skid-mounted unit—simplifying transportation and on-site installation.


A key structural innovation is its double intermediate body, which prevents compressor oil from contaminating the gas medium by ensuring sufficient space (greater than one stroke) between components. The cylinder, crafted from corrosion-resistant cast iron, withstands harsh gas compositions (including chlorinated hydrocarbons with <300ppm chloride ions), while axially arranged valves optimize gas flow and compression efficiency.


Customization Capabilities


Bengbu United Compressor offers tailored solutions for the VW-9.1/(0.05~0.1)-5 to meet specific project needs. Customization options include:


· Structural forms: D-type, M-type, S-type, W-type, V-type, or Z-type, adapting to spatial constraints.

· Cooling methods: Water-cooled (standard for this model), air-cooled, or mixed cooling, based on environmental conditions.

· Installation types: Fixed, mobile, skid-mounted (standard), or cabin-type, ensuring flexibility across sites.

· Drive modes: Motor-driven (standard with 55kW power) or diesel engine-driven, matching power supply availability.


Application Area


Natural gas compressors are used in oil and gas field development to increase gas well productivity, including natural gas transportation, oil and gas separation, wellhead pressurization, and other processes. For example, by using a compressor to boost and recover low-pressure associated gas, resource waste can be reduced. In addition, compressors are also used for gas well production and gathering in unconventional natural gas extraction such as shale gas and coalbed methane

In LNG production, storage, and transportation, compressors are used for boosting natural gas before liquefaction, storage peak shaving, and export boosting after gasification. For example, the BOG (flash gas) recovery at LNG receiving stations relies on compressor processing.

Whole Machine Description


The compressor adopts a V-shaped (angle type), water-cooled, oil-free lubrication, reciprocating piston type, two column, two-stage compression, double acting, and the entire unit is supplied as a sled. The middle body of the compressor is a double middle body structure, ensuring that the middle body space is greater than one stroke, preventing compressor oil from entering the cylinder from the crankcase, thus ensuring that compressor oil does not contaminate the medium. The compressor cylinder is made of corrosion-resistant cast iron material and adopts an oil-free lubrication design, which does not require oil lubrication. The air valve is arranged axially inside the cylinder.
