Vapour Recovery Compressors
Vapour recovery captures fuel and chemical vapours from storage tanks, tankers, and rail cars before they escape, which protects people and the environment and recovers product. Hurll Nu-Way supplies Blackmer oil-free reciprocating compressors for vapour recovery and liquefied gas unloading.
Compressors by job
We size the compressor to the gas, the flow, and the pressures.
Unloading and vapour recovery
Single stage compressors for unloading liquefied gases and recovering the vapour left behind.
- Blackmer LB series11.9 to 212 m³/h · LPG and ammonia
Industrial gases
Heavy duty compressors for transferring, boosting, and recovering a wide range of industrial gases.

Oil-free compression
Blackmer compressors are oil-free, so the gas isn't contaminated with lubricant, and they are built for severe service with ductile iron pressure parts and O-ring sealed heads.
Send us the gas, the flow, and the pressures, and we will recommend the compressor.

What does a vapour recovery compressor do?
It draws vapour from a tank, tanker, or rail car and returns it to storage or a recovery unit, so it doesn't escape to atmosphere.
Which gases can Blackmer compressors handle?
Propane, butane, anhydrous ammonia, carbon dioxide, natural gas, and many other industrial gases.
What capacities are available?
Blackmer LB series LPG compressors cover 11.9 to 212 m³/h.
Are they oil-free?
Yes. Blackmer reciprocating gas compressors are oil-free, so the gas isn't contaminated.
Can you service our compressors?
Yes. We service and repair the compressors we supply.
