Types of offshore air compressor systems and pumps
The offshore sector uses various types of offshore air compressor systems, offshore air compressor solutions and pumps for different phases of oil and gas operations. Offshore air and gas compressors are used for handling gas products, including transport, gas gathering operations, maintaining gas pressure, gas reinjection, and gas lift.
Some of the types of offshore gas compressor systems used in the offshore sector are:
- Centrifugal compressors
- Reciprocating compressors
- Flare gas recovery compressors, and
- Wet gas compressors
Pumps used in the offshore sector help in transporting the oil, gas, process liquids and other fluids from one stage to another. The most common types of pumps used are:
- Centrifugal pumps
- Positive displacement pumps
- Reciprocating plunger pumps
- Oil transfer pumps
- Progressive cavity pumps
- Gear pumps
- Process pumps
- Diaphragm pumps
- Metering pumps, and

Applications of nitrogen generation package solutions in the offshore sector
Nitrogen finds various applications in the offshore oil and gas sector, particularly in reducing the risk of gas or steam explosions. It is also used for injection and pressure testing, improving oil recovery, protecting tubulars from corrosion, inert gas lifting and tank purging operations.
Offshore oil and gas field developers often have onsite portable nitrogen generation package systems to fulfil their nitrogen requirements. Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and membrane technology are two main technologies used in nitrogen generation package systems.
