ROTARY SCREW GAS COMPRESSORS
Rotary Screw Gas Compressors
Compressing gasses other than air may be necessary for some heavy-duty applications. Kaishan manufactures a full line of rotary screw gas compressors to meet many material, application, and budget needs for heavy-duty industrial and process use. Each machine in our rotary screw gas compressor line is backed by innovative technology, best-in-class reliability, and a price point thatās right for you.
Rotary screw gas compressors operate by drawing gas into the compression chamber, where screws compress the gas and force it out through discharge ports. Our compressors are designed for applications that demand high volumes of gas that must be compressed constantly, operating at 100% capacity for maximum efficiency and reliability.
Rotary Screw Gas Compressor Applications and Industries
A rotary screw gas compressor can be used in a number of different heavy-duty industrial applications where a gas other than air must be compressed. Some of our compressors are suitable for commercial use, but the typical industries in which our compressors are used are:
- Oil and gas
- Energy
- Chemical processing
- Coal
- Biofuel
Industrial gas compressor applications include:
- Natural gas compression for extraction and delivery
- Petrochemical and refinery applications, such as hydrogen for gasoline and helium for cryogenics

Frequently Asked Questions
Kaishan's rotary screw gas compressors are engineered to compress a wide range of industrial and process gases beyond air, including hydrogen, nitrogen, CO2, CNG, ethylene, propane, propylene, ethane, ammonia, sour gas, chlorine, flare gas, coke oven gas, coal gas, acetylene, butadiene, and various vapor and tail gas streams. The specific compressor model is selected and configured to match the physical and chemical properties of each target gas, including its reactivity, toxicity, and molecular weight.
Kaishan rotary screw gas compressors serve heavy industrial and process sectors requiring continuous compression of non-air gases. Primary industries include oil and gas (natural gas extraction and pipeline delivery), energy (fuel gas for turbines), chemical processing (petrochemical and refinery hydrogen production and cryogenic helium), coal processing (coke oven gas), and biofuel production (biomass gas, landfill gas, and environmental CO2-reduction applications). Each application type uses a specific compressor configuration matched to the target process gas.
Kaishan rotary screw gas compressors include built-in remote status monitoring that allows teams to track real-time performance data from a central location. This enables continuous oversight of energy efficiency and operating parameters, supports trend-based predictive maintenance planning, and facilitates long-term ROI tracking. Built-in alarms notify personnel of abnormal conditions, enabling rapid response before issues escalate into unplanned shutdowns ā a critical capability in continuous-process gas compression operations where downtime carries high cost.
Safety is a core design priority across Kaishan's gas compressor range. Each unit includes physical machinery enclosures, shields, and guards to protect operators. Intuitive monitoring provides continuous readings for temperature, pressure, water, and oil level. Password-protected electronic controls prevent unauthorized changes to operating settings, while built-in alarms alert personnel to abnormal conditions. These layered safety measures are essential in environments where the gases being compressed present toxicity, flammability, or pressure hazards requiring careful management.
Yes. Kaishan's gas compressor range includes models configured for chemically aggressive, toxic, or hazardous process gases including sour gas (hydrogen sulfide-containing mixtures), chlorine, and ammonia. Internal component materials are selected for the corrosion resistance requirements of the target gas. Buyers should engage Kaishan's engineering team during specification to confirm appropriate materials, seal types, and safety provisions for their specific gas composition, operating pressure, and temperature conditions at the point of installation.
Kaishan's rotary screw gas compressors incorporate a self-lubricating oil system engineered to sustain reliable lubrication across the compressor's full operating range with minimal manual intervention. The system is designed over years of engineering refinement to minimize lubrication-related failure risk and extend service intervals. This is particularly valuable in remote or continuously operating installations where maintenance access is limited and where operational uptime is critical to downstream process continuity and production throughput.
