Russian "Mayak" starts producing oil-free compressors for automobile gas stations

Compressor units that compress methane without the use of oil make it possible to achieve gas purity without additional mechanisms for cleaning it after compression

The Kirov Mayak plant (part of the Kalashnikov concern) has begun actively producing oil-free compressor units from Russian components for equipping automobile gas filling stations (CNG filling stations). The output is environmentally friendly, high-quality motor fuel, which, according to the manufacturer, increases the power and service life of a car engine.

The first CNG filling station with new domestic equipment has already been opened in Syktyvkar.

The equipment for CNG filling stations, which is supplied and manufactured by Mayak, consists of:

  • inlet metering group, filter, regulator; 
  • gas drying unit on the low side; 
  • compressor station; 
  • gas accumulator unit and priority panel; 
  • distribution column;
  • operator's room.

The heart of such compressor stations is 3, 4 or 5-stage opposed compressor units, which compress gas without the use of oil in the compression chamber, which allows to achieve exceptional gas purity at the outlet and eliminate the need for additional equipment for cleaning gas from oil inclusions after compression. A patented design is used in the blocks to ensure oil-free compression.

PJSC "Kirov Plant "Mayak" joined the Kalashnikov concern with the permission of the FAS quite recently, less than a year ago. Prior to that, the plant had been producing military equipment for the Russian army, mastered military products for civilian purposes and civilian products for many years. "Mayak" works in many areas: stamping, casting, mechanical engineering, construction, heat treatment of metals and alloys, creation of coatings, and so on.
