OFFSHORE SOLUTIONS
[ FROM THE HIGH PRESSURE EXPERTS ]
BAUER has been the world’s leading manufacturer of high pressure
compressors and integrated compression systems for industrial off-
shore applications as well as breathing air, for over 65 years. We’ve
worked for many years to evolve our compressors and nitrogen gen-
eration systems to meet the ever rising costs and increased safety re-
quirements for offshore operations. Our systems are designed with off-
shore applications in mind, safely delivering consistent purity at higher
capacities than ever before.

RigForce™ BAUER understands that reliability and optimal performance are ex-
tremely critical for drilling operations. Evolve with us.

 BENEFITS
Robust Build for Offshore Environments
All RigForce™ systems are designed to operate continuously under severe offshore conditions in high salt, high temperature
and high humidity environments.
Compact Footprint
High pressure distribution of instrument air throughout the facility is much more efficient and requires smaller diameter
piping than low pressure distribution.
APPLICATIONS SYSTEM OPTIONS
High pressure air / nitrogen for air over hydraulic Direct or belt drive
DESIGNED AND BUILT FOR OFFSHORE Energy Efficient
The BAUER RigForce™ line of high pressure Offshore power is premium, therefore, all BAUER RigForce™ systems are built to minimize energy usage on or below deck.

offshore applications. Low Cost of Ownership
Accumulator charging 0 to 550 psig (0-38 bar g) inlet pressure capable BAUER systems are known for their lowest cost of ownership in the industry.

TOTAL RANGE FOR EVERY APPLICATION THE HEART OF THE SYSTEM

At the heart of every BAUER RigForce™ L & M Series High Pressure System lies the ultra modern, high efficiency BAUER IK
23 and IK 26 Series Compressors. These systems are specifically designed for rigorous, mission-critical, heavy-duty offshore
applications where reliability and performance cannot be compromised.
