Transvac Systems

What Transvac Systems does

Transvac Systems Ltd is a UK-based specialist manufacturer of custom-designed ejector technology, founded in 1973 and headquartered in Alfreton, Derbyshire. The company engineers fluid handling equipment — including steam ejectors, thermocompressors, desuperheaters, jet heaters, air jet ejectors, liquid jet compressors, gas ejectors, multiphase jet compressors, and tank jet mixers — for oil and gas operators, EPC contractors, water utilities, and steam-process industries. Two patented designs underpin the technology portfolio: the Universal Design Ejector, featuring replaceable nozzle and diffuser internals that allow in-situ performance optimization as process conditions change, and the Multi-Channel Ejector, which delivers single-channel-equivalent efficiency in a significantly shorter form factor suitable for offshore and subsea applications. All key processes from FEED through manufacturing and performance testing are controlled in-house, supported by a dedicated R&D/Ejector Test Facility opened in 2010 with 9 flow loops, pumps up to 300 bar(g), and full-scale CFD-validated testing capability.

Transvac generates revenue primarily through custom engineered-to-order ejector equipment sales and supporting professional services including process design, FEED studies, CFD simulation, Factory Acceptance Testing, commissioning, and training. The go-to-market model is enterprise field sales targeting major oil and gas operators (ADNOC, Saudi Aramco, Petrobras, Centrica Storage) and EPCs (Bechtel), supplemented by a global network of regional agents in Canada, Kuwait, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, and supported by active participation in industry events such as ADIPEC and IPTC. Pricing is project-specific based on engineering complexity, materials, pressure ratings, and application requirements, with multi-year contract structures. The company holds BS EN ISO 9001:2015, BS EN ISO 3834-2 welding certification, Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU compliance, and Achilles supplier certifications. In November 2025, Transvac was acquired by Ingersoll Rand Inc. and now operates as part of Ingersoll Rand Engineered Solutions.

Core offering

Transvac Systems designs and manufactures custom-engineered ejector technology — including steam jet ejectors, gas compressors, liquid jet compressors, and vacuum systems — for oil & gas operators, steam process industries, and water utilities. Each system is bespoke-engineered to client process conditions and performance-validated at the company's in-house test facility before delivery.

Product overview

Transvac Systems is a specialist ejector manufacturer offering a comprehensive portfolio of custom-designed ejector products and services for industrial applications. The core product line includes steam ejectors (vacuum systems, thermocompressors, desuperheaters, jet heaters, air jet ejectors), liquid-driven ejectors (Liquid Jet Compressors for gas compression, Multiphase Jet Compressors, Tank Jet Mixers, Liquid Jet Pumps), and gas ejectors. Key patented technologies include Universal Design Ejectors (with replaceable internals) and Multi-Channel Ejectors (for space-constrained applications). The company also offers specialized systems like TransPAC for powdered activated carbon dosing and Flare Gas Recovery Ejectors for zero-flare operations. Supporting services include online ejector sizing software, FEED design services, CFD simulation, performance testing at their dedicated test facility, and training. Transvac operates as a one-stop-shop from FEED through commissioning, with all key processes controlled in-house at their Derbyshire, UK facility. The company was acquired by Ingersoll Rand Engineered Solutions in November 2025.
