Global Compression Services was recently featured in the August 2025 edition of Hydrocarbon Engineering. The comprehensive article showcases our innovative approach to modernizing reciprocating compressor technology for today’s demanding refinery operations.
The feature highlights several developments from our team, including our zero-emission packing case technology designed to help refineries meet stringent environmental regulations. Unlike traditional cast iron designs that are decades old, our steel packing cases with precision-machined surfaces effectively prevent gas leakage while enhancing durability.
The article also explores our custom piston designs, including the unique three-piece configuration we delivered to a Corpus Christi refinery. These innovative pistons feature aluminum halves with a steel center section, specifically engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and resist sour gas corrosion.
Additionally, the piece details real-world case studies demonstrating how our specialized materials and modular designs have extended equipment runtime from months to years, delivering significant value to our refinery partners through improved reliability and reduced maintenance costs.
