Compressors
With almost a century of experience in the manufacture of specialized compressors, Howden's expertise is based on innovation by well known names: Burton, Corblin, Ljungstrom and Donkin.
Howden supplies four types of compressor with different operation principles, each built into a complete skid-mounted package, with all necessary ancillary equipment, control and monitoring systems.
- the process gas piston compressor developed by W. Burton
- the Donkin turbo-compressor, invented by the Bryan Donkin Co in 1910 and based on the Rateau principle
- the metal diaphragm compressor invented by Henri Corblin in 1916
- the screw compressor. Howden became the first licensee of this technology from Svenska Rotor Maskiner (SRM) in Sweden in 1938
