Industrial Gas Compression

Vilter sets the industry standard for gas compression solutions in Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) including landfills, waste-water treatment, dairy, and food waste solutions. With the proven single-screw compression technology and more than 150 years of industrial experience, Vilter compressors offer some of the highest levels of dependability in the market.

Add the reliability where it matters most

Vilter technology and industry expertise delivers the uptime and dependability needed in demanding Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) applications. More than 145 operating plants in North America rely on Vilter by Copeland single screw compression technology for consistent and quality production.

Make it easy. There is variability with gas quality specifications, utility negotiations, feed stocks, local and federal incentives, and various entities involved in a project. Vilter by Copeland innovation and expertise can help you navigate the options including:

Blower skids to boost the initial biogas to maintain pressure across contaminant removal and optimize inlet pressure to the feed gas compressor
Low-pressure and high-pressure chilling skids to dehydrate the biogas upstream and downstream of the feed gas compressor
Single-screw feed gas compressor technology to pressurize the biogas upstream of the Carbon Dioxide removal technology
Single-screw recycle and vacuum compressors or feed gas compressor for Nitrogen removal depending on the technology selected
Single-screw product gas compressor technology to boost the biomethane to pipeline pressure including the unique Vilter High Pressure Low Displacement compressor model
Fuel gas booster to provide pressurized biogas to a gas turbine for combined heat and power (CHP) technology.

Capturing Value From CO2

CASE STUDY

Capturing Value From CO2

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), also known simply as carbon capture, offers the opportunity to boost profitability while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Industrial facilities like ethanol, cement and chemical production plants that emit carbon dioxide can significantly benefit from this process. Balance of plant solutions start with proven front-end engineering and builds in reliable uptime with durable equipment for quality compression and dehydration.

Turning Waste Into Revenue

CASE STUDY

Turning Waste Into Revenue

How does one of the largest landfills in the U.S. turn an $80,000 annual expense into a million-dollar revenue stream? By building a landfill gas processing facility that uses a gas compression system based on 17 Vilter single screw compressors to generate usable energy from methane waste gas — reducing overall emissions by 63%.
