WG Compressors

OVERVIEW

Superior compressors are the perfect choice for your compression needs.

Superior high-speed reciprocating compressors have a range of 290 to 9,000 hp (216 to 6,711 kW) and are manufactured in a wide variety of models, including our C-Force, RAM, MH, WH, and WG series compressors. Superior compressors contain a variety of different strokes that can be fitted with a large selection of compressor cylinders that will maximize the output and production in a variety of different gas applications.

Superior products are designed to provide the flexibility needed to meet API 618 requirements. Our quality parts are resistant to corrosion from up to 2% sour gas without special trim, making Superior the perfect solution for process gas applications.

LOWER MAINTENANCE, EASIER INSTALLATION, MORE RELIABILITY

Cooper’s CFA couple-free compressor provides a revolutionary design that delivers low mechanical vibrations, lower fatigue stresses and higher reliability. This allows for lower packaging costs and a lifetime of lower maintenance costs. The CFA compressor reaches 1,800 RPM, has a max power of 580 HP and a total rod load of 27,000 lbs. The compact design yields a small footprint, and it is ideal for portable skids and CNG applications.

Features
