With Reciprocating Compressor:

• Lower power consumption (compared to one large compressor) when the required duty is less than full load conditions
• Takes full advantage of lower power consumption when ambient temperature falls below initial design criteria.
• Provide more accurate control of storage temperatures and direct product temperatures (suitable for critical storage conditions)
• Greater plant reliability through multiple compressor operation
• Inbuilt security backup can easily be achieved
• Plant can be designed to meet additional production growth without over sizing for current load demands.
