GG Oil-lubricated Methane Gas Compressor
Atlas Copco has designed a gas oil lubricated screw compressors to provide you with high reliability. It brings the benefits of our proven Variable Speed Drive technology to the field of biogas upgrading and biomethane gas grid injection. The GG-Series can deliver flow levels up to 1000 Nm³/h at constant discharge pressure. Cutting your energy requirements through adaptive motor speeds matched to your plants’ production levels.
Serving the Biogas & RNG industries
Biogas, be it from organic or animal waste (biomass) in an anaerobic digester or from municipal solid waste or wastewater sources, needs to be upgraded to be useful. No matter your process and the application behind it, we can support your operations with our portfolio of biogas compression solutions. Our products are designed to minimize the total cost of ownership.
Did you know?
The GG oil-lubricated screw compressor offers a robust compressor design for long service life. Putting superior shaft seal design and unparalleled precision manufacturing to work for you, GG-Series compressors ensure top performance year after year. They are an optimal solution for the high demands of biogas upgrading and gas grid applications.
Designed for High Efficiency
Atlas Copco’s VSD technology closely follows the gas demand and continuously adjusts the motor speed, resulting in energy savings. The Variable Speed Drive (VSD), coupled with inlet pressure control, maximizes flow and minimizes required horsepower.
By working less to do more, VSD consumes less power, while giving greater process control and requiring less maintenance. Variable Speed Drive (VSD) allows your gas compressor to easily adapt to changing gas production needs.
When the quantity of gas available from your process rises, the VSD motor speeds up to ensure a continuous supply of gas to the grid with very low-pressure fluctuations.
Turn your compressor into an energy source.
Our water-cooled gas screw compressors can be equipped with an Energy Recovery unit. This helps you achieve your low-carbon economy goals.
Recover up to 75% of the electrical energy, which is converted into compression heat. This can then be used by our energy recovery system to heat up water for sanitary purposes, space heating, or process applications. Considered as a key savings in Biogas, where the biodigester needs to be always kept warm.
Technical benefits
Plug, play, and display
The GG units are tested in our factory, synchronized with our system, and will visualize your energy savings strategy and create transparency in your environmental reporting.
- Guarantees seamless interaction and easy integration.
- The monitoring system SmartLink enables you always to know the status of your compressor
- Accessible connections for water, gas, and power.
- Easy installation and Ready for use.
Low cost of ownership
By implementing gas screw technology and VSD drive, the GG-Series offers you tremendous savings in terms of energy and maintenance. Well-designed circuits, full accessibility and the capability for predictive maintenance also contribute to a low cost of ownership for your machinery.
Gas-tight and secure
Equipment for gas compression must meet more stringent safety requirements than conventional air compressors. The GG-Series measures up: 100% gas-tight and in compliance with ATEX Zone 2.
Biogas and biomethane compressors
Combining outstanding performance and safety in a compact, cost-efficient package, our GG-Series compressors meet the demands of the most rugged Biogas and biomethane gas grid injection facilities. Powered by Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology, GG-Series compressors do not only help reduce power bills, but also significantly lower the wear-and-tear on your compressor. That, in turn, reduces your maintenance cost and service intervals.
Optimal control and safety
An easy-to-use control system – the Elektronikon Mk V control & monitoring system, allows you to keep an eye on all parameters of your daily operations. Moreover, key features include an emergency solenoid valve shutdown stop to isolate the compressor from the gas supply in emergencies.
In addition, gas detection sensors and software allow for a safe compressor solution. With a compact, robust design that meets the high safety demands of the biogas industry, the GG-Series compressors comply with the stringent ATEX 2 design requirements and CE directives.
Security functions are handled by a SIL2 PLC (according to IEC 61508), making the GG-Series one of the safest and most reliable choices in the industry.
