Variable Inlet Pressure (VIP) Compressor Package
Dual functionality compressor package designed for daughter booster and online compressor operations across varying inlet pressures.
Variable Inlet Pressure Compressor Package
Variable Inlet Pressure (VIP) Compressor Package is designed with dual functionality, enabling operation initially as a Daughter Booster in conjunction with CNG cascades and later as an Online Compressor upon steel line connectivity.
This flexible configuration supports phased station development by allowing operators to begin operations with cascade-based supply and transition to pipeline-connected compression when infrastructure becomes available.
VIP Compressors are available in capacities ranging from 250 SCMH up to 600 SCMH, making them suitable for varied station requirements and demand levels.
Why VIP Compressor Package
The Variable Inlet Pressure Compressor Package is ideal for operators seeking flexibility, phased growth, and optimized asset utilization. It supports immediate operations with cascade supply while remaining ready for future online connectivity, delivering long-term commercial and operational value.
Dual Functionality -
The package is engineered to perform across two operating modes. This dual-use capability reduces duplication of assets and supports cost-effective station expansion.
Daughter Booster Mode
Used in conjunction with CNG cascades, the system boosts available gas pressure for efficient dispensing and improved utilization of transported gas.
Online Compressor Mode
Upon steel line connectivity, the same package can operate as an online compressor connected to the gas supply network.
Key Features
- Dual functionality as Daughter Booster and Online Compressor
- Capacity range from 250 SCMH to 600 SCMH
- Suitable for phased station development
- Compatible with cascade, steel line, and MDPE line connectivity
- Efficient transition from booster to online operation
- Compact installation footprint
- Reliable compressor performance across varying inlet pressures
- Designed for retail and forecourt CNG applications

Operational Advantages
VIP Compressors offer an inherent advantage of being able to decant CNG from cascades up to 14 kg/cm² residual cylinder pressure, improving gas recovery and reducing unnecessary return trips. This can help achieve up to 15% savings in logistics costs, particularly in cascade-based operations.
- Better utilization of cascade gas inventory
- Lower transportation dependency over time
- Reduced requirement for duplicate equipment investments
- Improved operating economics during transition stages
Applications
- CNG Daughter Stations
- Transition Stations moving to pipeline connectivity
- Retail CNG Forecourts
- Urban and Semi-Urban CNG Networks
