Designed for API 618 heavy-duty processing 
applications, these units meet the broadest 
and most stringent requirements.

Design philosophy
The latest generation of GE Oil & Gas process compressors is the 
culmination of more than 40 years of research and development, 
continually advancing design tools, field-proven installations and 
global on-site experience.

Our modular approach to design and manufacturing takes advantage 
of standardized core components that allow full customization to each 
plant’s requirements – always with the highest reliability and availability.

Key features & benefits
• Standardized components ensure proven performance and 

reliability, while increasing manufacturing and installation efficiency

• Extensive use of hydraulic tensioning to enhance reliability and 

maintenance ease

• Broad cylinder line-up with bore up to 1,250 mm and materials to 

accommodate all process requirements

• Proprietary cylinder valve design with plastic or metal plates to 

minimize power losses and ensure longest life in operation

• Eccentric piston shoe grooves to extend shoe and packing seal life
• A wide range of construction materials available to suit specific 

applications

• Extensive experience with every conceivable driver in a wide 

range of applications such as gas and steam turbines, variable 
and fixed-speed electric motors, and gas engines, with a unique 
in-house capability to design and supply complete trains

• Unique in-house capability for piping pulsation and vibration 

analysis to ensure smooth operation and extend the lifecycle of the 
most highly stressed parts such as packing cups and cylinder valves

• Complete LDPE plant analysis capability (pressures up to 

3,500 bar), including the primary-booster compressor, hyper 
compressor, reactor, vessels and all interconnecting piping
