The report "Liquid Ring Compressors Market by Type (Single-stage, Two-stage), Material Type (Stainless Steel, Cast Iron), Flow Rate (25 – 600 M3H; 600 – 3,000 M3H; 3,000 – 10,000 M3H; Over 10,000 M3H), Application, and Region - Global Forecast to 2026", size was USD 874 million in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 1,229 million by 2026; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2021 to 2026, owing to the increasing global energy consumption and steadily rising gas transportation sector.
Liquid ring pumps can be employed for vacuum as well as compression jobs, which makes them popular across various industries. As with liquid, the pump uses its impeller to compress the gas. These pumps can be employed for applications such as vacuum distillation, moisture extraction, vacuum condensation, air or ash handling, evaporation, mineral beneficiation, and for separating water from paper pulp. Compared to other mechanical pumps, liquid ring compressors need minimal maintenance because they are driven by the liquid ring technology and have only one rotating part, the impeller, which reduces the need for regular maintenance.
North America is expected to be the second-largest market for liquid ring compressors during the forecast period. There is an increasing demand for liquid ring compressors from water and wastewater treatment plants in the region. Also, industries such as food & beverage, chemical processing, and pharmaceutical are driving the demand for liquid ring compressors in the region.
The key market players include Busch Vacuum Solutions (Germany), Flowserve Corporation (US), Atlas Copco (Sweden), Ingersoll Rand (US), DEKKER Vacuum Technologies, Inc. (US), Graham Corporation (US), Cutes Corp. (Taiwan), Zibo Zhaohan Vacuum Pump Co., Ltd (China), OMEL (Brazil), and Speck (Germany).
