Is it good to use a screw compressor for gases that tend to polymerize?

There are several reciprocating compressors in use; since the compressed gas contains certain gaseous organic compounds, under the influence of increased outlet pressure and temperature, these compounds polymerize to form sludge-like substances. Even if it runs continuously, it still needs to be serviced and all air valves cleaned once a month; as soon as it stops operating, the polymer turns into hard blocks, and starting it up again immediately damages the air valves. Although screw compressors do not have vulnerable components such as air valves, under the same operating conditions at the outlet, mud-like substances can still adhere to the screws, making repairs to such compressors more complicated. Do anyone have any good suggestions or relevant application methods?
