The Benefits of Double Flow: Introducing the P650 DF
July 31, 2025
Why Double Flow?
Compact Size. Big Capability.
Traditionally, meeting higher flow requirements would mean moving to a much larger compressor, with added capital cost, civil design work, shipping complexity, and floor space demands.
The P650 DF eliminates that tradeoff:
- Flow Range: 10,000–20,000 CFM (280–560 m3/min)
- Power Range: 1,500–2,850 HP (1,120–2,150 kW)
- Pressure Range: 30–50 PSIG (2.1–3.5 BarG)
Built on American Engineering Excellence
Designed for Demanding Applications
- Biofermentation
- Pneumatic Conveying
- Petrochemical & Refinery
- Chemical Production
- Water Treatment
- Industrial Gases
These industries can now achieve their performance goals with a smaller, more cost-effective compressor, lowering energy expenses while supporting sustainability initiatives through reduced emissions.
