Reciprocating compressor also very useful and reliable for compressing and pumping liquids. It also most prominently used in oil refineries, chemical plants, pipelines and natural gas processing plants.


Why do some desalination plants boil water under reduced pressure?

on a normal pressure (1 atm) water boils on a temperature of 100 C, but when we reduce the pressure, ebullition temperature will be also reduced (it will become less then 100) which means that they can boil more water using less energy
