Vertical LPG Compressors
Stationary Applications
Why select a compressor to Threaded and ANSI flanges:
transfer LPG and NH3? Compressors are available in either threaded NPT, ANSI, or
DIN flanged connections.
Compressors are extremely versatile for they can be used to transfer High-efficiency valves:

Cylinder Evacuation,
Bulk Transfer and Recovery
Custom-engineered packages...
Corken supplies custom-engineered packages to meet the most
demanding customer specifications. Skid-mounted units can be
supplied with control panels, safety controls, pulsation dampeners,
specialized traps, valving and other special accessories as required.
Corken offers standard mountings designed specifically for liquid
transfer, vapor recovery, and gas scavenging applications.
Serviceability...
Corken compressors are designed to minimize required maintenance
and make such maintenance extremely simple. Maintenance operations
such as valve replacement may be accomplished without disturbing
the piping, while ring replacement may be accomplished simply by
removing the head.
King of versatility...
Corken compressors are designed for use with maximum versatility.
The same compressor installed for one application can easily be piped
to be utilized for other plant applications. For example, a rail car-
unloading compressor can also be utilized to load and unload trucks.

Materials...
The horizontal compressor line offers many optional materials for
parts such as gaskets, piston rings, o-rings, pistons and more. This
allows the compressor to be used with a variety of gases. The MC1002
corrosion-resistant coating is also available for all parts that
come in contact with the gas.

Liquid Gas Transfer
Compressor Applications
Bulk application...
The “107” bulk plant gas compressor unit is complete with pressure gauges,
steel baseplate, mechanical liquid trap, four-way valve, strainer, interconnecting
piping, adjustable driver-slide-base, v-belt drive and beltguard ready to receive
an electric motor. This standard unit is typically used for liquid transfer and
vapor recovery in applications including rail car and truck loading and
unloading. Many options such as ASME liquid traps with Class 1, Group D
switches and total engineered packages can be provided.
Scavenger applications...
Corken has a variety of standard scavenger packages available,
depending on the customer’s requirements. For maintenance purposes,
scavengers can be sized for small-cylinder to large-tank evacuation
systems. Corken will assist in custom engineering your scavenger
systems for your specific application.
