I use old fridge compressors to compress biogas. They will compress up to 250 psi and are sealed so that air doesn't get in your storage. Careful though. Around 250 psi the compressor has caps that blow off (internally) incase of an over pressure situation. As for longevity for the compressors I drilled two holes, one on the top and one on the bottom so I could change out the oil. As well the gas is dried before compressing. First by condensing them through a desiccant bead. I have enough that one desiccant can be dried while the other is use. Compressing wet gas will gum the compressor.
