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
