Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps Market is growing rapidly with Atlas Copco introducing liquid ring vacuum pump LRP 700-1000 VSD range of intelligent liquid ring vacuum pumps
Liquid ring pumps are devices that
are used in liquid distribution systems. A liquid-ring pump is an
electric-powered, rotary positive-pressure pump. They are used to pump fluids
from one point to another, including water, gasoline, antifreeze, and chemical
liquids. There are many different types of liquid ring pumps, and some of them
have some additional features. Investments in the oil and gas sector have
increased over the years across the globe. Establishing and expansion of
refinery projects in Uganda, Egypt, Taiwan, and Malaysia has led to increased
investment in the oil & gas industry. Recently, in October 2020, ExxonMobil
made its final investment of US$ 9 billion in Payara field offshore development
in Guyana. Moreover, in December 2020, ExxonMobil Corporation and PETRONAS
discovered hydrocarbons at Sloanea-1 exploration well on Block 52 offshore
Suriname. Thus, such factors can stimulate growth of the liquid ring vacuum
pumps market.
When it comes to regional influence,
North America seems to be exhibiting a positive outlook in the liquid
ring vacuum pumps market. This is due to the presence of key players in
the field of the oil and gas industry such as ExxonMobil, Apache Corp., and
Black Stone Minerals LP. On the contrary, Asia Pacific is gaining significant
traction due to increasing demand from the oil & gas industry. Recently, in
April 2019, Atlas Copco launched a liquid ring vacuum pump LRP 700-1000 VSD
range of intelligent liquid ring vacuum pumps.
The most common liquid ring vacuum
pumps are the rotary type, which uses a revolving cylinder with two intake
screens and two discharge screens. One screen spins counter-clockwise, while
the other spins clockwise. Since the amount of liquid being pumped is less than
the area of the receiving cylinder, a small amount of fluid is wasted during
each rotation. The two most widely used intake and discharge screens are the
semi-circular and rectangular styles. That being said, there are various
factors that could limit the potential growth of the said market. For instance,
liquid ring vacuum pumps require a high initial investment and it could vary
depending upon power, capacity, type of material, and safety features.
Moreover, growing issues regarding water conservation could impede growth of
the liquid vacuum pumps market.
The last type of liquid ring vacuum
pump in use today is the rotary vane vacuum pump. This type is the most
commonly found in today's models. Another key factor fueling growth of the
market in discussion is growing regulatory regulations from EPA regarding flare
gas. Liquid ring vacuum pumps are widely used in the recovery of fuel gas and
condensing precious hydrocarbons. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has enforced stringent regulations on the flaring of natural gas, leading
to increased demand for vacuum pumps. Thus, these factors can augment growth of
the liquid ring vacuum pumps market.
