To evaluate market positioning for specialty turbomachinery controls, ADI analyzed demand drivers across LNG export terminals, FPSOs, and ethylene crackers. The study assessed the reliability trade-offs between OEM-standard controls and independent anti-surge systems in greenfield versus brownfield projects. Primary research with rotating equipment specialists highlighted factors impacting operational risk during commissioning.
The client
Private equity firm
The situation
Uncertainty regarding the addressable market for specialty controls and competitive pressures from integrated OEM digital hardware offerings.
ADI’s contributions
Primary customer research
Interviews with 15 global operators identified performance benchmarks and established a high brand preference for independent controls.
TAM segmentation model
ADI utilized proprietary asset data to estimate the total addressable market across 10 regions and five industrial segments.
Operational constraint analysis
Technical evaluation of anti-surge and load-sharing logic demonstrated how independent controls expand the stable operating window.
Growth vector identification
Analysis of the energy transition pipeline quantified new revenue potential in CCUS, biofuels, and hydrogen compression.
