Burckhardt Compression, a Swiss manufacturer of reciprocating compressor systems, has secured multiple new orders to supply compressor solutions for liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal projects in Thailand and Taiwan, according to recent company announcements and industry reporting.

The contracts cover the delivery of eight Laby® compressor units and an additional unit for minimum send-out service.

These systems will be deployed in LNG terminal operations where they manage boil-off gas (BOG), a natural byproduct that forms when liquefied natural gas is stored at extremely low temperatures and gradually warms, causing partial evaporation.

The deals highlight continued investment in LNG infrastructure across Asia, where import terminals play a central role in balancing energy supply and demand.

LNG facilities rely on compressors to capture and reprocess boil-off gas rather than venting it, improving both operational efficiency and emissions performance.

Burckhardt Compression’s Laby technology is designed as an oil-free, contactless compression system intended to reduce maintenance requirements and limit gas leakage.

Company statements and project descriptions emphasize its use in achieving higher reliability in demanding terminal environments, as well as supporting lower-emission gas handling.

What remains consistent across reporting is that both Thailand and Taiwan are expanding or reinforcing LNG import capacity, reflecting their dependence on imported natural gas.

However, project-specific details such as exact terminal operators, contract values, and delivery timelines have not been publicly disclosed in available announcements.

Company representatives described the orders as evidence of sustained demand for LNG infrastructure equipment in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly systems designed for flexible operation under fluctuating supply conditions.

Independent reporting also notes that LNG handling systems increasingly incorporate compression or re-liquefaction solutions to reduce energy losses from boil-off gas.

The announcement does not indicate any delays or disputes related to the contracts, and no alternative suppliers have been publicly identified as contesting the awards.

The orders are presented as part of ongoing commercial activity within Burckhardt Compression’s systems division, which supplies compressor technology for energy, industrial gas, and petrochemical applications globally.
