The USA has witnessed an interesting demand for reciprocating compressors in recent years due to different forces across various spectrums. These compressors have gained popularity in industries like oil and gas, manufacturing petrochemicals among others due to their efficiency and reliability. One of the main factors that contribute to this demand is an explosive oil and gas industry in U.S. who use reciprocating compressors as a backbone element from its production through transmission, processing, and storage processes.
Within the oil and gas field, reciprocating compressors are used for jobs like natural gathering cycle compression or injection. In the recent years, increasing exploration and harvesting activities especially on unconventional resources such as shale gas has intensified demand for effective compression systems. As the need for clean energy sources grows, reciprocating compressors are also being applied in hydrogen compression promoting development of a Hydrogen Economy.
Besides that, the U.S.’ manufacturing industry has several reciprocating compressor applications including pneumatic tools, materials handling, and industrial processes. The flexibility of reciprocating compressors allows them to be used in heavy, light and all other loads making a good choice for manufacturers seeking affordable air compressed systems that one can rely on.
In the petrochemical business, reciprocating compressors are critical to ethylene and propylene manufacturing. This has seen the increase in demand for petrochemical products and derivatives, which consequently results to increased need for compressors that can handle these specific process requirements adequately. It has been found that reciprocating compressors are well suited for these applications, which can explain the stabilization of their demand in petrochemical industries.
In addition, reciprocating compressors are preferred due to their ability for high-pressure compression which is necessary in applications where large amounts of compression need be achieved. However, this is especially important in industries like natural gas transmission where compressors are a necessary component for effective and safe transportation of gas through pipelines.
The other factors that contribute to the reciprocating compressor market in the U., include technological improvements and innovations. Manufacturers regularly unveil various innovative features and technologies to improve the efficiency, operations performance, as well as environmental friendliness of reciprocating compressors. Such innovations such as incorporating smart technologies and digital controls are an attractive proposition for the industries that ask for updated, automated solutions in their compression processes.
In summary, the need for reciprocating compressors in North America is increasing due to the advancement of oil and gas industry as well as manufacturing activities coupled with preference by petrochemical industries. Reciprocating compressors are popular in applications because of their adaptability, reliability, and technological development. Although the industries will continue to evolve and search for more efficient alternatives, reciprocating compressor market is predicted to remain vibrant in years ahead.
