Compressed air is used in many different fields. Just as diverse as the requirements and specifications of various application fields, so too is the performance spectrum of JABʼs industrial compressor program.
The right operating pressure, with the corresponding volumeflow and correct start-up procedure, requires a properly dimensioned unit for supplying compressed air.
Thatʼs why JAB compressors are specifically configured to meet your needs.
Ultimately, these diverse needs have led to the development of a broad range of compressor models and performance classes, which have continuously evolved since 1897.
This evolution has fostered an ongoing accumulation of expertise and resulted in an exceptional level of in-house manufacturing depth.
This extensive manufacturing depth ensures JAB customers benefit from a consistently documented and high-quality production process for compressor components.
Last but not least, this translates into security for our customers.
The confidence of having reliable performance capability with minimal maintenance requirements to ensure uninterrupted 24/7 operation.
We’d be happy to plan with you.

JAB Nitrogen-Compressors –
high standards, met with expertise
The extraction and storage of inert gases such as nitrogen and noble gases (helium, argon, neon, etc.) present unique technical challenges for compressor technology, largely due to the atomic structures of these elements.
While nitrogen can be produced in large quantities, noble gases are relatively rare and require complex extraction processes, making them costly.
It is therefore particularly important to focus on the gas-tightness of the compressors.
JAB inert gas compressors are equipped with specialized gastight shaft seals to meet these demands.
JAB Noble Gas Compressors –
As volatile and rare as inert gases are, so high are the demands on the compressors used for their compression.
Although rare in the atmosphere, noble gases are indispensable in industrial use. However, the extraction of helium, argon or neon is technologically demanding and costly.
To compress precious noble gases safely and with minimal diffusion losses, we rely on specially developed mechanical components and designs, as well as supplementary material impregnation.
This allows us to reduce the diffusion of gases such as helium—with its fine atomic structure—through the molecular structure of steel.

We’ll work with you to plan everything.
Specially configured for flammable gases
JAB Compressors
for Natural Gas and Biogas Compression
Typical for flammable gases: compressors must be technically specific for their compression.
JAB has developed a comprehensive portfolio of compressors for use in systems designed for the extraction and further processing of flammable gases, such as methane, propane, butane, and ethane.
This portfolio offers an enormous range of natural gas and biogas compressors designed to meet the requirements of industry, business, science, and research.

JAB compressors for natural gas and biogas plant construction are available in a wide variety of performance classes (pressures and flow rates):
- medium pressure compressors
- high pressure compressors
- natural gas boosters and
- biogas boosters
JAB natural gas and biogas compressors comply with the EU Methane Regulation (EU 2024/1787). The compressors’ surface treatment prevents static buildup through targeted dissipation. Depending on their design, JAB natural gas and biogas compressors can also be used as mobile compressors (see mobile compressor).
The mobile versions of the JAB methane gas compressors can thus be adapted to the conditions of the operating environment.
Commitment to the technologies of the future
JAB Compressors
for Hydrogen and Synthesis Gas
To advance H2 technology and help meet the growing demand – particularly in the chemical and steel industries – we at J. A. Becker manufacture compressors for hydrogen compression.
Hydrogenʻs chemical and physical properties pose challenges for the materials used in compressor construction.
Reactivity, diff usion properties, and metal embrittlement form the magic triangle for engineers.
To overcome these properties, we use hydrogen-compatible materials in the production of our compressors, develop and install special shaft sealing solutions, and, last but not least, JAB hydrogen compressors receive a surface finish to safely dissipate static charges. In addition—as with noble gas compressors—the materials are impregnated to reduce diffusion through the materials used in compressor construction, which is caused by hydrogen’s extremely fine atomic structure.
We would be happy to plan with you. Learn more now!
Invisible Powerhouses
for hydrogen technology
JAB hydrogen and synthesis gas compressors are used in a wide range of pilot projects

Keep track: JABcommand UNI plus
Compressor-Control for Air, Inert, and Flammable Gases
The JAB compressor control systems—JABcommand UNI, JABcommand ADVANCED, and JABcommand ADVANCED X—enable the integration of compressor and compressor system monitoring into the corporate network.
This allows compressors to be monitored remotely, regardless of location.
With JABcommand compressor control systems, all key functions can be monitored during automated operation, and important service and maintenance processes can be optimized.

Beyond the standard
Special Solutions and
Custom Developments
The demands on JAB compressors are as diverse as the media to be compressed, their applications, and their installation locations.
JAB’s compressor customization makes it possible to tackle a wide range of challenges.
This results in tailor-made compressors for stationary and mobile applications that comply with ATEX directives and the EU Methane Regulation when handling flammable gases.
These custom solutions for complete compressor systems can be put into operation right out of the box and are plug-and-play. JAB customers value JAB’s compressor expertise, from planning and manufacturing through to commissioning.
The knowledge accumulated since 1897 about pressure technology and the resulting manufacturing depth forms the basis for these projects.
Our special developments and OEM solutions either use existing compressor units and are modified as required. This means that customized compressor systems can be quickly put together from existing stock.
Completely different requirements for compressors are solved by our compressor developers and engineers, tailored precisely to your needs.
