Burckhardt Compression was happy to announce that it has won an order for one process gas compressor at the upper performance range as booster/primary compressor and one hyper compressor for an LDPE production plant in North America. Burckhardt’s technology has been chosen because of the company’s good reputation in the LDPE market as an original equipment manufacturer.
