Burton Corblin® metal diaphragm compressors provide non-contaminating, leak-tight compression of any gas. They are especially suited to applications requiring complete gas isolation from the external environment. High compression ratio and high pressure capabilities have resulted in them being used for specialist applications in the chemical and industrial gases industries.
While looking for a chlorine compression system, Henri Corblin invented the metal diaphragm compressor in 1916. Its compressor heads fully confine the gas in a leak-tight compression chamber. Sealing is ensured by static contact and is monitored by our Head Integrity Detection System (HIDS). Since its inception we have manufactured more than 8000 diaphragm compressors ranging up to 3000bar (43,500psi) and 250kW.
