This steam or gas engine powered device compressed the gas for injection into the high-pressure mains, which in the early 1900s began to be used to convey gas over greater distances to the individual low pressure mains, which served the end-users. This allowed the works to serve a larger area and achieve economies of scale.

1900-1910 invention of spray carbeurator allowed use of "straight run gasoline" with vehicles. Straight run gasoline is obtained simply by distillation of petroleum. 1910-1920 improvements in compression ratio gave automobiles more power; 1920–1930 engine knocking, which limited advances in compression ratio, is addressed with tetraethyllead
The engine compressed the air/fuel mixture before combustion, unlike the other atmospheric engines of the time. The engine was a single-cylinder unit that displaced 6.1 dm 3 , and was rated 3 PS (2,206 W) at 180/min, with a fuel consumption of 0.95 m 3 /PSh (1.29 m 3 /kWh).
Compressed natural gas (CNG) is a fuel gas mainly composed of methane (CH 4), compressed to less than 1% of the volume it occupies at standard atmospheric pressure.It is stored and distributed in hard containers at a pressure of 20–25 megapascals (2,900–3,600 psi; 200–250 atm), usually in cylindrical or spherical shapes.
Pintsch gas was a compressed fuel gas invented by Pintsch, which was derived from distilled naphtha and used for illumination purposes during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its primary use in the latter half of the 19th century was for illumination of buoys, isolated beacons, lighthouses and railroad cars .
1989 – Thermos Japan acquisition [8] and acquisition of Matheson (compressed gas & equipment). 1999 – Matheson and Tri-Gas Company merged to become Matheson Tri-gas. 2001 – A spin-off household products business, Thermos Ltd., was established. 2003 – Acquired plant engineering division of Hitachi's Air separation units.
A gas regulator attached to a nitrogen cylinder. Industrial gases are the gaseous materials that are manufactured for use in industry.The principal gases provided are nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon, hydrogen, helium and acetylene, although many other gases and mixtures are also available in gas cylinders.
