I apologize for the confusion...the ACFM vs Discharge pressure curves provided by our vendor also have associated hp curves on the same plot. I will post a few of them for discussion this weekend.
Thanks again.

David,
Thanks for the response. You are correct, the curves were calculated at constant hp.
The design basis for our machines was 3000 SCFM of gas with a molecular weight of 6-59. The mass flow is less at a lower molecular weight, but the head requirement is higher -correct? That is why...
Can you describe why liquid ring compressors (rotary type) vary in capacity (ACFM) for the same differential pressure requirment as molecular weight changes? These compressors are recovering flare gas that varies in molecular weight.

Can anyone describe why liquid ring compressors vary in capacity (ACFM) for the same discharge pressure requirment as molecular weight changes? These compressors are recovering flare gas.
Our vendor has provided different ACFM vs. Discharge pressure curves for each molecular weight gas...
