In response to increasing concern about energy costs and environmental factors, users of gas compression and transfer equipment are turning to hydraulic drives as an alternative to air and electric powered units. U. S. company Haskel International is meeting this growing market need by introducing a new line of hydraulic driven gas boosters.

When excessive amounts of liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) vaporize while being pumped, the results can include reduced process efficiency and increased scrap product. U. S. company Haskel International has addressed this problem with the industry's first pumps specially designed to maintain liquefied CO2 temperatures below the flash point.

A series of chemical metering devices including controlled volume pumps with both air/gas and electrical drives has been introduced by Haskel International. The new Millennium Series also includes the Haskel-Palpro IRCD, a device designed for use in multi-point chemical injection systems where the same chemical is delivered to multiple locations.

Users of a new interactive CD catalog can enter performance specifications for their applications and receive immediate recommendations for the most suitable gas boosters, liquid pumps or air amplifiers from Haskel International. The recommendations are accompanied by full technical information and detailed product illustrations, diagrams and performance charts.
