context_page_description: A booster pump is a machine which will increase the pressure of a fluid. They may be used with liquids or gases, but the construction details will vary depending on the fluid.
  A gas booster is similar to a gas compressor, but generally a simpler mechanism which often has only a single stage of compression, and is used to increase pressure of a gas already above ambient pressure. Two-stage boosters are also made.
  Boosters may be used for increasing gas pressure, transferring high pressure gas, charging gas cylinders and scavenging.
context_section_description: Gas boosters may be driven by an electric motor, hydraulics, low or high pressure air or manually by a lever system.
