    This document describes the construction and design of an oil-flooded screw compressor capable of discharging gas at 100 barG (100 bar gauge pressure). Key elements include a male rotor with 5 teeth and female rotor with 7 teeth, radial and thrust bearings sized to handle the high pressure load, and a mechanical seal made of silicon carbide to withstand high suction pressures. Finite element analysis was used to optimize the casing design. The compressor was tested and shown to safely operate at the 100 barG discharge pressure. Applications for this high pressure compressor include petroleum refining processes like desulfurization.
