Vacuum Compression using a reciprocating compressor

19 May 2025

I'm currently working on implementing vacuum compression on our gas wells, with a desired operating envelope ranging from -10 psig to 100 psig.

I would appreciate input from anyone with experience in vacuum compression applications. Specifically, I'm looking for guidance on the following:

Can a reciprocating compressor operate effectively within this pressure range?

What are the best practices for water separation in this context?

How to manage dew point to avoid condensation?

How can oxygen ingress be prevented in a vacuum compression setup?

Are there any documented case studies or references where a similar application has been successfully implemented?

Any insights, experiences, or references would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your support!
