Burton Corblin manufactures rugged, reliable process compressors. Designed for rigorous operation, these compressors perform to their customers’ expectations - dependably, predictably and with minimal maintenance, the firm claims.

The oranisation has global reputation for their superior design, construction, performance and durability.
Burton Corblin’s global headquarters, located in Nogent sur Oise, France, incorporates quality engineering and manufacturing as well as sales, application, and customer service functions. Here, Burton Corblin diaphragm, piston and rotary Periflow(r) compressors are engineered and constructed. Sales and service representatives are located worldwide also for prompt, local service. 'Experienced engineers and technicians are always available to address questions or concerns relating to compressor performance.' says the firm
Some distributors and representatives have design and manufacturing capability to allow for their specific domestic and local codes to be adhered to.
Burton Corblin, a Howden Group Company, invented the diaphragm compressor - one of the leading designs for non-contaminating compression. This global force in the industry provides a single source for compression needs.
Typical Applications for Burton Corblin Compressors include high pressure hydrogen for fuel cells; hydrogen feed and recycle; vapor recovery; vent gas; gas gathering; landfill gas; food processing; hydrocarbon processing; fuel gas; carbon dioxide compression; chemical and petrochemical processing; gas cylinder filling; specialty gases (Fluorine, Chlorine, TFE, Silane); high pressure; leaktight gas compression; PET Bottle Blow-Molding; automotive airbags; reciprocating compressors; D series diaphragm gas compressors;
The Burton Corblin line of Diaphragm Gas Compressors represents the most extensive diaphragm compressor range. Through a long, evolutionary process beginning with the original diaphragm compressor invented by Henri Corblin, today’s D Series incorporates the most advanced technology and innovative features.
Burton Corblin D Series Compressors maintain gas purity during compression while ensuring against leakage. All gases can be handled including: light or heavy, high purity, rare, toxic, flammable, corrosive, explosive, and radioactive.
This is the ideal compressor for hydrogen fuel cell applications, as it offers the highest possible product purity. Minimum maintenance is needed with only one oil change per year. Burton Corblin diaphragm compressors provide easy access to all parts, by design.
The D Series performs with unmatched reliability and quality gas compression.

P-Series piston gas compressors
Burton Corblin’s oil-free piston compressors operate over a wide range of pressures, up to 3,700 psi (25 MPa) and to 1,740 hp (1300 kW). These process piston compressors provide a complete separation of the product from the crankcase.
Like their diaphragm compressors, their piston compressors offer control and containment of the process gas. Cylinders are lined for longevity and corrosion resistance.
Buffer-purged packing and double-distance pieces greatly reduce the possibility of leakage. With the safeguards built into their process compressors, they are the best choice for dangerous or difficult gases. Modular design provides complete flexibility, allowing each application to be supplied with a compressor that matches its specifications.
HPD Piston / diaphragm gas compressors

Burton Corblin originated the high volume combination piston/diaphragm gas compressor.
This HPD Series offers high-volume piston gas compression with the high-pressure, leakproof performance of diaphragm compression.  Gas capacities to 140 SCFM (225 Nm3/h) and pressure up to 6,000 psi (40 MPa) can be attained.
'The HPD Series reflects the dedication to innovative design found in the Burton Corblin line of gas compressors.' says the company.

Rotary Periflow compressors
The Periflow(r) gas compressor is a rotary compressor that offers the same performance as low-flow-rate centrifugal compressors at a much lower speed.
It is ideal for applications calling for high pressure and relatively low flow rate.
The compression chamber is a toroidal channel in which an impeller rotates. The gas trapped bettheyen the vanes is centrifugally forced to the periphery of the chamber and swirls around the core before it is caught again by the next vane on the wheel, repeating the process all around the channel, and transforming the kinetic energy into pressure.
A stripper separates the inlet from the outlet ports and helps in guiding the gas flow from suction to discharge. The clearance bettheyen the impeller and the stripper is very tight to limit the gas slippage.
The location, orientation, area of inlet/outlet ports, the geometry of the vanes (bending radius, height, penetration, angle), the shape and area of the chamber, and the shape of the channel impart different compressor characteristics (flow rate, pressure, efficiency), offering multiple solutions to deal with various process conditions.
