What Gas Processing does

Gas Processing Equipment Pvt. Ltd. (GPE) is a Pune-based Indian private company founded in 2010 by Shankar and Somdev Chattopadhyay that designs, engineers, fabricates, and commissions custom micro-modular process plants and standalone critical process equipment for enterprise customers worldwide. Its product portfolio spans seven verticals—Biogas Upgrading Plants, Gas Processing (natural gas conditioning, COG cleaning, filtration, separation), Dehydration (air and process dryers), Modular Skids, Process Equipment (heat exchangers, pressure vessels), Consoles (lube oil, cooling water, dosing), and Compressor Packages (GEA Grasso screw compressors packaged in-house). The company operates two production units in Pune (MIDC Bhosari and Savardari) and holds ASME U-Stamp, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, PED Module-G, and EIL approvals, enabling it to bid on code-stamped work for global oil & gas, refinery, petrochemical, fertilizer, steel, and renewable energy customers across India, North America, the Middle East & Africa, Southeast Asia, CIS, and the EU.

GPE's revenue model is project-based, custom-engineered manufacturing: each engagement typically spans concept-to-commissioning and yields one-time equipment sales plus attached engineering, erection supervision, pre-commissioning, commissioning, performance trials, and operator training services. Differentiation rests on (a) micro-modularization expertise that compresses site execution timelines, (b) strategic technology partnerships with Evonik and Ube (membranes), Carbotech/Carboneum Consult (6-bed PSA), GEA Grasso (compressors), and KLM Technology Group (process design), and (c) in-house engineering depth spanning process simulation, thermal design, mechanical design, and 3D modeling, all managed through GPEPRO—a customized SAP B1 ERP providing end-to-end material traceability. Recent strategic activity includes Production Unit 2 commissioning, a dedicated Consoles vertical, multiple 2024 awards (Forbes India DGEMS 2024 Select 200, Economic Times Future Ready Award, Make In India Initiative Award for Best Medium to Large Biogas Plant), and exports of biogas upgrading plants to the EU and North America. The company remains privately held, founder-controlled, and bootstrapped with no disclosed external equity funding rounds.
