Burckhardt Compression, a global specialist in reciprocating compressor technology, has secured multiple orders to supply advanced compressor systems for liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal projects in Thailand and Taiwan. The contracts include the delivery of a total of eight Laby® compressor units for boil-off gas (BOG) applications and one additional unit for minimum send-out service.
The new orders support the expansion and modernization of LNG infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific region, where demand for flexible and efficient gas handling solutions continues to rise. LNG terminals play a critical role in receiving, storing, and regasifying liquefied natural gas, requiring advanced systems to manage fluctuations in supply and demand.
A key function within these terminals is the handling of boil-off gas generated during storage under cryogenic conditions. Efficient BOG management is essential for maintaining safety, minimizing losses, and ensuring stable operations. Burckhardt Compression’s compressor systems are designed to address these requirements while enhancing operational reliability and environmental performance.
The company’s Laby® compressor technology is central to these projects. Known for its oil-free and contactless design, the system enables gas-tight operation, significantly reducing emissions and supporting near-zero leakage during gas handling. This approach not only improves environmental outcomes but also contributes to higher process efficiency across LNG terminal operations.
In addition to emission reduction, the Laby® technology is engineered for durability and extended service intervals. Reduced maintenance requirements and high system availability make it well-suited for demanding and dynamic terminal environments, where operational continuity is critical.
Commenting on the development, Andreas Brautsch, President of the Systems Division at Burckhardt Compression, stated that the orders highlight sustained demand for dependable LNG infrastructure across Asia-Pacific. He noted that the company remains committed to supporting customers with solutions that ensure safe operations, strengthen energy supply chains, and reduce the environmental impact of LNG handling.
These contracts further reinforce Burckhardt Compression’s position as a trusted partner for LNG terminal operators worldwide. With a focus on innovation, efficiency, and sustainability, the company continues to expand its footprint in key energy markets, delivering technologies that align with evolving industry requirements and global energy transition goals.
