A compressor system and method for the isothermal compression of industrial gases includes a compression cylinder into which an industrial gas having impurities can be introduced and compressed via a displacement fluid, and an expansion space for the desorption of impurities from at least part of the displacement fluid after the displacement fluid sorbs impurities from the gas during compression in the compression cylinder. The displacement fluid may compress the gas and sorb contaminants from the gas, and following the compression, at least a portion of the displacement fluid may be conducted to an expansion chamber to desorb the impurities from the fluid and remove the impurities from the system. |
