Thermocompressor Systems
Forbes Marshall Thermocompressors are ideal for recovering flash steam from high pressure applications and using it for low-medium pressure applications. Thermocompressor systems directly bring down the fuel consumption of the steam plant.
The Thermocomporssor efficiently mixes the low pressure flash steam with the high pressure motive to generate dry, saturated steam at low-medium pressure. Thermocompressors have demonstrated maximisation of flash steam recovery and condensate removal from applications like drying drying cylinders by providing effective ‘blow off’.
They have a reliable and robust design and are validated on a comprehensive, well instrumented test rig. every compressor is custom built to suit specific industry needs and can be seamlessly integrated into the existing control system.
- A monolithic system without any moving parts. Truly fit and forget technology.
- Custom approach ensures that every thermocompressor works at optimum level over its entire lifecycle.
- Comes as a full package with safety valves, check valves, strainers and other components for hassle-free installation.
- Brings down the fuel, water and water treatment costs.
- Can bring down steam consumption by as much as 20%.

Frequently Asked Questions
Thermocompressors are highly versatile and find applications in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, dairy, paper, and food processing. They are particularly effective in processes requiring the recovery of flash steam and the efficient utilisation of energy resources. These systems improve steam management and reduce overall energy consumption, making them ideal for energy-intensive industries.
A Thermocompressor uses high-pressure steam to entrain and compress low-pressure steam or flash steam, increasing its pressure and temperature. The high-pressure steam is injected into the low-pressure steam, causing a pressure increase. This process can lower steam consumption by up to 20%. The compressed steam can then be used for heating or other processes, improving energy efficiency in steam systems.
Using Thermocompressors can lead to notable savings in fuel, water, and operational costs. For example, the system reduces boiler load, minimises fresh water and treatment costs, and cuts carbon emissions. Depending on the application, these savings can yield a return on investment in a short timeframe, while also contributing to environmental sustainability by reducing the carbon footprint of the plant.
