Products & Services Page
Oil Industry Compression Equipment - Hy-Bon Engineering is a global leader in the design and manufacture of custom vapor recovery units, field gas gathering booster systems, casing head pressure reduction technology, petrochemical processing and gas processing for onshore & offshore markets.
Landfill Gas Compression
Methane Gas Booster - Landfill operators are addressing the issue of gas produced by the landfill (LFG) during the decomposition of organic matter residing in the landfill.
Waste Water Gas Compression
A leader in wastewater gas recovery. One of the by-products of anaerobic digestion in a sewage treatment plant is produced vapor from the digester tank.
Other Biogas Applications
The methane bio gas emissions produced by the fermentation process in brewery operations can be captured and directed to electric generators. High concentrations of CO2 and water in this Biogas application combine to produce carbonic acid, adding a unique level of sophistication to the package specifications.
Compressed Natural Gas
Many agencies and companies are now looking at Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as an alternative fuel source. CNG is used in the mass transportation industry (buses, fleet vehicles and taxis) with more and more vehicles being converted to natural gas usage every day.

AC Rotary Vane Compressors - PDF
A global leader in the packaging of rotary vane compressors, we have designed and packaged thousands of rotary vane compressors for applications ranging from gas boosting and casinghead gas reduction to vapor recovery for multiple industries.
Hy-Bon Line of Rotary Vane Compressors - PDF
The most cost effective technical solution for wet gas applications moving from 10 mcfd to 300 mcfd at pressures up to a 50 psi differential.
LeROI Rotary Screw Compressors - Performance Charts
The most versatile technical solution for dry or wet gas applications moving from 200 mcfd to 5 MMCFD at pressures up to 350 psi.
Jet Pump Vapor Recovery Technology
In this patented process, the venturi jet of water pulls tank vapors into the water stream. The gas / water mixture is returned to the separator, where the gas stream breaks out of the water and is produced down the sales line. The water is re-circulated back to the tanks in a closed loop system. The vapor jet system utilizes pressurized water to affect gas gathering.
Quincy Reciprocating Compressors
The most cost effective solution for dry gas applications moving up to 550 mcfd at pressures up to 500 psi.
Gemini Reciprocating Compressors - M Series - H Series
An extremely cost effective solution for dry gas applications moving from 200 mcfd to 1000 mcfd at pressures up to 1500 psi.
Infrared Technology Images Vent Gas
Vent gas has been part of oil and gas production since the first Drake well. The venting of gas from oil and condensate stock tanks, the venting of casinghead gas from wells, and similar venting and leaks from field production equipment and compressor stations results in billions of cubic feet of methane (and heavier hydrocarbon gas) vented to the atmosphere each year in the United States.
Rockies Vapor Trail - Vent Gas
Our industry has made huge strides in capturing flare gas and getting it into the pipeline where it belongs, generating profits.
Vapor Jet System - Method of Vapor Recovery
The Vapor Jet System is an alternative to conventional vapor recovery technology for the recovery of hydrocarbon vapors from oil production facilities’ storage tanks.
Vapor Recovery Illustrations - Onshore - Offshore
Hy-Bon vapor recovery units (VRU) operate in over twenty countries, from offshore units to desert service. Standard vapor recovery units (VRU's) are maintained in stock to enable fast turnaround times for customer requirements.
Case Studies - Producers Tap Vapor Recovery (American Oil & Gas Reporter)
Vapor recovery units (VRU) are designed to capture high Btu content vapors that would otherwise be vented to the atmosphere, and turn them into a valuable revenue stream, while simultaneously minimizing regulatory and liability exposures.
Case Studies - Capture of Vent Gas
A system was designed to allow the customer to capture the vented gas from all phases of his separation process. A multi-stage unit was designed and built that took the gas from the tank vapors at atmospheric pressure, gathered the vent gas from the other separators and delivered the stream to the sales line at 500 psig.
Case Studies - Casing Head Reduction
Case study results for projects in Texas and New Mexico.
Case Studies - Chevron Vapor Recovery
Chevron installed 8 vapor recovery units (VRU’s) at crude oil stock tanks.
Article - The Salem Gas Project
The Salem Plant is only one of five plants in North America to employ the bio-desulfurization approach to gas sweetening in an oilfield application.
Article - Systems Reduce Casinghead Pressure
Casinghead pressure can have a dramatic negative impact on the production curves of many mature formations. Backpressure at the wellhead results in elevated downhole formation pressure and often a significant reduction in the amount of hydrocarbons that effectively migrate into the well bore.

Article - Infrared Cameras Used to Located Fugitive Vent Gas
A relatively new use of infrared technology is making it easier for the oil and gas industry, as well as government regulators, to see and locate fugitive gas emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) such as propane, butane, benzene, methane and other gas.
Article - Reducing Volatile Organic Emissions for Compliance, Safety, and Profit
Venting commercial quantities of fugitive gas streams may not only be bad for business, it could lead to unwanted regulations.
Article - Producers Find Profits in Oil Storage Tanks with Vapor Recovery Units
Vapor recovery units (VRUs) are designed to capture vapors and turn them into an additional income stream while minimizing regulatory and liability exposure. VRUs are designed to comply with EPA standards, provide additional profits to the oil producer, and eliminate the emission of stock tank vapors to the atmosphere.
