Air Compressors for the Chemical & Petrochemical Industry
Clean, reliable compressed air for process control, gas generation and safe chemical handling. Backed by 50+ years of Bimpex's experience supplying Indian industry.
Chemical and petrochemical plants depend on compressed air for far more than powering tools — it drives process control instruments, seals gas supply in pumps and compressors, and supports the safe storage and transport of chemicals. Any contamination, moisture or inconsistency in that air supply can compromise product quality or introduce a safety risk.
As an authorised distributor for Anest Iwata Motherson and Festo, Bimpex supplies compressors built for exactly this — clean, dry, high-pressure air for continuous process operations, backed by technical guidance and after-sales support.
Applications of Air Compressors in the Chemical & Petrochemical Industry
Powering control valves and pneumatic tools like conveyors, drills, saws and grinders
Clean, dry air for control valves and instruments, minimising contamination and corrosion risk
Producing high-purity gases such as nitrogen and oxygen used in industrial processes and as carrier gases in analytical instruments
Supporting the safe transport and storage of chemicals while reducing leakage risk
Filling containers efficiently while ensuring products are properly sealed
Sealing the gas supply in pumps and compressors to prevent gas leaks
Testing equipment and pipelines to prevent accidents and contamination from faulty equipment
Supporting refrigeration dryers and temperature control in heat exchangers and reactors

Types of Air Compressors & Their Applications
Rotary Screw Air Compressors
Best for: Pneumatic conveying, instrument air supply, nitrogen generation, coolingDelivers a continuous supply of high-pressure air for demanding process applications — pneumatic conveying, instrument air supply, packaging, nitrogen generation, cooling and gas boosting.
- Continuous, high-pressure air supply
- Suited to round-the-clock process operations
Reciprocating Air Compressors
Best for: Laboratory use, gas and liquid transfer, cylinder filling, pressure testingSuited to low-to-medium capacity, intermittent operation and high-pressure processes. Used for laboratory work, gas and liquid transfer, cylinder filling, material handling, pressure testing and surface preparation.
- Adjustable to specific application requirements
- Reliable for intermittent, high-pressure use
Oil-Free Reciprocating Air Compressors
Best for: Chemical storage, transportation, aeration and dryingSupplies clean, dry compressed air for keeping gases at high pressure for safe transportation, and for reducing gas volume to make storage and handling more convenient — essential across the storage, transportation, aeration and drying stages of chemical handling.
- 100% oil-free, contamination-free air
- Supports safe chemical storage and transport
Scroll Oil-Free Air Compressors
Best for: Chemical analysis, high-purity gas production, packaging and fillingDelivers clean air free of oil or other lubricants that could contaminate the process or product. Used for chemical analysis and testing, high-purity gas production such as nitrogen and oxygen, packaging and filling, and powering control valves, pneumatic conveying and air-powered tools like drills and saws.
- Oil-free design protects process purity
- Suited to high-purity gas production
Frequently Asked Questions
Which air compressor is best for chemical process control?
Reciprocating and screw compressors are commonly used to power control valves and instruments, while oil-free ranges are recommended wherever contamination risk needs to be minimised.
Can Bimpex's compressors be used to generate nitrogen and oxygen for industrial processes?
Yes — our scroll and screw compressors support high-purity gas generation, including nitrogen and oxygen production for chemical and petrochemical applications.
Are Bimpex's compressors genuine Anest Iwata / Festo products?
Yes. Bimpex is an authorised distributor for both, and every unit comes with full documentation and manufacturer warranty.
Can Bimpex help me choose the right compressor for my plant?
Yes — share your process, pressure and purity requirements, and our technical team will recommend the right fit.
