COMPRESSOR
Apex Equipment Ltd. can handle those difficult gases or vapors! We can supply the compressor only, or a complete package.

1) Reciprocating Compressor, slow speed, meeting API 618 standards, for refinery and plant service
2) Liquid Ring Compressors for wet gases and vapor recovery systems

RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR
Reciprocating compressors are a very efficient way of compressing a gas, particularly when higher pressures are involved. This type of machine is used for a simple 3hp garage air compressor, through to large 20,000hp process plant machines.

When the compressor is used as a vital part of a process or is handling a difficult gas such as hydrogen, typically it needs to meet the stringent design requirements of API 618.

LIQUID RING COMPRESSORS
Gases that are wet, are a vapour, or must be kept cool during compression are easily handled with a liquid ring compressor. This type of machine is suitable for pressures up to about 175psi, and although the initial capital cost may be more expensive then other types, its rugged design and non- touching rotor make it an ideal choice for difficult services that require continuous reliable operation. These units are well suited for use in vapour recovery and similar packages.
