The Spencer Turbine Company introduced the first hermetically sealed multistage natural gas boosters in 1975. The company continues to lead the industry with a range of designs using Spencer's standard overhung blowers and multiple, spark-resistant aluminum alloy impellers mounted directly on heavy-duty extended motor shafts.

Spencer’s Low Capacity Series UL Listed Natural Gas Booster is a single-stage design. Installations can boost pressure levels by 9 inches WC, with volumes to 12,000 ICFH. Spencer’s simple direct drive and generous internal clearances provide for long-term reliability and quiet operation — well within OSHA limits. The unique leaktight hermetic design also provides a continuous flow of natural gas around the explosion-proof motor, cooling the motor and extending its life.

In addition, Spencer offers the GasCube™ series, an easy-to-install natural gas booster skid package. It is pre-engineered, prepiped and has a compact footprint. The GasCube package is also available in organized modules for on-site assembly. Spencer’s complete line of hermetic, single and multistage, low and high-pressure gas boosters — including the GasCube skid package — undergo standard commercial tests at the factory for leaks as well as for power input, volume and pressure.
