Overview
Hydrogen chloride and chlorine are the gases that punish anyone who tries to reuse a natural gas design. Both are strongly corrosive, and in the presence of even trace moisture the corrosion rate rises sharply. Dry chlorine is manageable with the right materials; wet chlorine attacks most common metals. Hydrogen chloride is highly soluble in water and forms hydrochloric acid immediately on contact with moisture.
TUKE ENERGY builds corrosion-resistant reciprocating compressors for these duties on a dedicated design path. The starting point is the gas specification including moisture content, since that single number decides whether carbon steel is acceptable or whether the wetted parts must move to a high-alloy or non-metallic solution. Materials are then selected for the static process-wetted parts and, separately, for the moving functional parts, because a material chosen only for corrosion resistance may not simultaneously satisfy strength, fatigue, friction and heat-treatment requirements.
Sealing is the second priority. These gases must not escape into the working environment, so packing design, joint integrity, purge arrangement and leak detection are treated as primary design requirements rather than accessories. Dry running, controlled clearances and careful material pairing reduce both wear and the risk of contamination.
A delivered reference in this class is a hydrogen chloride compressor that completed an integrated trial run before shipment to a fine-chemical project. Applications include HCl compression in fine chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates, chlorine handling in chlor-alkali and water treatment chemicals, and other corrosive process gas duties where standard materials are not acceptable.
Typical applications
- Chlorine and hydrogen chloride process duty in chemical plants
- Corrosive process gas handling where dedicated corrosion design is required
- Chlor-alkali and fine chemical service

Technical specifications
- Media: hydrogen chloride (HCl), chlorine (Cl2) and other corrosive process gases
- Materials: selected by moisture content and corrosion analysis; static wetted and moving parts specified separately
- Sealing: dry-running packing, controlled clearance, purge and leak detection
- Construction: reciprocating, multi-stage where required, with full package protection
Selection and design notes
Corrosive gases such as chlorine and hydrogen chloride require dedicated material, sealing and isolation design, with the corrosion path assessed component by component. Such a solution cannot be copied from a natural gas machine.
Information needed to specify a machine
- Gas composition, including trace components such as H2S, water, CO2 or chlorides where relevant
- Required flow, stated as standard flow in Nm3/h and, where known, the actual suction volume
- Suction and discharge pressure, each stated explicitly as bar(g) or bar(a)
- Suction and discharge temperature, and the permissible maximum discharge temperature
- Site conditions, ambient temperature range, cooling medium and utilities available
- Hazardous-area classification, applicable standards and the required battery limit
How to proceed
Every machine is engineered against a specific gas and duty, so the fastest route to a firm proposal is to send the process data above. Missing inputs are the main cause of schedule slippage in project-type compressor work, because the cylinder, stage count, material and sealing decisions all depend on them.
