ehrer Compressors will in-
troduce a line of diaphragm
compressor packages in par-
allel with its reciprocating compressor
offerings. The diaphragm compres-
sors will be a plug-and-play, complete,
high-pressure compression package.
This new line will officially be present-
ed at ACHEMA, taking place June 15-
19, in Frankfurt, Germany.
Capitalizing on its experience with
reciprocating compressors, Mehrer
has engineered a series of packages.
These diaphragm compressors are
available in the vertical, vee and hori-
zontal configurations, in a modular lay-
out to better match the process/plant
characteristics. As with all diaphragm
compressors, this type of machine is
used to compress, without leakages
and oil contamination, small volumes
of gas at very high pressures; in this
specific case, delivery pressures of
14,500 psi (1000 bar) are possible.
The membrane, which separates the
gas-handling part from the mechano-
hydraulic part of the machine, is stain-
less steel featuring triple sandwich con-
struction. A pressure sensor detects
possible failure of one of the membrane
layers and, for safety reasons, immedi-
ately trips the compressor.
The diaphragm diameter is select-
ed as a function of the requested vol-
ume flow. The alternating movement
of the diaphragm is obtained by uni-
formly applying a hydraulic oil pres-
sure through an oil distribution plate.
An oil-compensation pump assures
an ideal oil volume between piston
and diaphragm.
These compressors feature a very
high compression ratio; depending on
the process, they can perform a 15:1
compression ratio in a single stage.
The recycling service of large indus-
trial processes when toxic gases are
involved and minimum gas leakage
is the main application for the Mehrer
compressor packages. They feature
a modular configuration in which the
compressor unit can feature a vari-
able number of diaphragm heads to in-
crease the volume handled and, when
required, more than one compressor
stage to obtain a higher than 15 com-
pression ratio. These compressors are
generally belt-driven by an electric mo-
tor at low speeds, 100 to 330 rpm.
All components come from Ger-
man or selected European suppliers,
completely assembled at Mehrers
Balingen, Germany, headquarters, and
shipped as a plug-and-play unit to mini-
mize site erection time and costs. The
company is certified according to DIN
EN ISO 9001:2008 [1].
Mehrer Compression specializes in
the supply of compressors and com-
pression systems tailored to the vari-
ous processes of the chemical industry.
Its crosshead reciprocating compres-
sor line covers the 2.9 to 335 hp (2.2
to 250 kW) power range with delivery
pressures up to 1160 psi (80 bar).
Along with carbon dioxide (CO2), bio-
gas and hydrogen, Mehrer offers a fully
integrated gas portfolio. CT2
