A hydrocarbon turboexpander is a specialized device designed for processing hydrocarbons such as oil, natural gas, and propane. Also referred to as a turbo-expander or expansion turbine, it is a centrifugal or axial-flow turbine that allows high-pressure gas to expand, producing mechanical work. This mechanical energy is typically used to drive compressors or generators, improving the overall efficiency of hydrocarbon processing plants. The technology plays a crucial role in various industries, including LNG processing, chemical and petrochemical plants, and energy recovery systems.
The global hydrocarbon turboexpander market was valued at approximately USD 575 million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 770.14 million by 2032, reflecting a CAGR of 3.30% during the forecast period.
