This was posted to the Shipyard list 1 year ago. Likely won't do the psi needed, but it may still be available.

 

[Shipyard] Rotary Vane Methane Compressor Available...

Hello-

 I have this really, really beefy methane compressor.

Could work for other gasses too. It's a rotary vane

type, off-center rotor with springloaded vanes.

 Only it's HUGE! The vanes are about 3/4 inch thick,

and it has a 7 horse three-phase motor on it. I

thought it might be done for but I looked inside and

it is all protected by oil and in pretty good

condition. Needs a rinse out and refill and it is off

to pumping methane or whatever gas you've got.

 I'm looking for a higher pressure one than this.

 It's pretty fancy!!

=R

It's big, the compressor housing and motor are both

more than a foot in diameter, they look small in the

picture.
