Vacuum Pump & Blower Packages For Natural Gas Service

The vacuum pump and blower systems offered by Guild Associates are designed using liquid ring pump technology, know for its reliable operation. The packages are designed for the natural gas patch using electric drives, oil filtering allowing on-stream filter changes and high pressure components. The skid mounted package includes a stand along control system. Motor controls can be provide if desired.

Vacuum Pump Systems and Blower Packages for Natural Gas Service

Guild Associates has provided a wide range of Molecular Gate systems to remove nitrogen and CO2 from natural gas.  The Molecular Gate systems regenerate under vacuum conditions and associated with the Molecular Gate units, Guild Associates packages vacuum pumps based upon liquid ring compressors. 

As an outgrowth of this experience, Guild Associates offers stand-alone vacuum pumps and blower packages.  Guild’s experience with vacuum and blower systems includes liquid ring pumps, rotary lobe blowers, rotary vane compressors and oil flooded screw compressors.  It is Guild’s experience

that the performance of the liquid ring pump offers reliability and operational benefits over alternate packages for many applications.

The NASH liquid ring pump is a state of the art design using a closed loop oil filtering, cooling and recirculation system.  No water is required for operation.

While the liquid ring pump is a reliable and forgiving system, Guilds field experience with the operation of these units indicates that certain design conditions are desired to increase reliability and ease of operation.  Included within the Guild packages are oil separators with high design pressures to permit safe operation without relying on large relief valves in the event of an over pressure situation. 

Liquid ring pumps seals and bearings can be affected by the carryover of solid particles such as rust and weld slag from upstream piping.  The large oil separators and its internal filters requires a substantial effort for replacement and the Guild design incorporates in-line oil filters that can be replaced without shutting down the vacuum pump.
