Compressors
Howden process compressors and complete compressor packages are used in the petroleum, petrochemical, refrigeration, fuel gas and other markets where performance and reliability are crucial. We have over one hundred years of experience behind us and supply our compressors to API or equivalent industry standards.
We designed and supplied the first diaphragm compressor and were the first company to commercialise screw compressor technology. We have built on this experience and now offer screw, piston (reciprocating) and diaphragm process gas compressors, and highly efficient turbo-compressors capable of meeting the most demanding conditions.
