World Fabric Filter Market is Growing and Changing
Briefs
The
market for FGD systems can go up with the Opportunistic Biomass-CCS program
or go down with a doomsday climate change. Here is why the
program is the perfect compromise and what the impact will be on the FGD
industry Will the $50 billion FGD
Market Go Up or Down?
When
it comes to the ambient and emissions monitoring market there has not been
the typical industry consolidation. A new McIlvaine analysis shows
the growth and market shares in the industry Air Pollution Monitoring
Market is Growing but not Consolidating
The U.K and Japan are both relying on biomass
combustion in existing coal plants coupled with CO2 sequestration as a
climate change initiative which is not just neutral but results in negative
CO2 emissions. They are “sucking the CO2 out of the air Opportunistic Biomass -
CCS Program is the Route chosen by the UK and Japan.
McIlvaine tracks valve company mergers and the impact
on market share. Crane initially tried to buy all of Circor but ended up
with just a small piece Crane Valve Market Share
Slightly Changed by CIRCOR Acquisition
World Fabric Filter Market is Growing and Changing
There
are multiple uses of fabric filters. They can be classified into
· Mechanically generated dust
· Fume from combustion or melting
operations
· Capture of reacted acid gases and
particles
Fabric
filters are used to capture dust from grinding and conveying operations. An
example of growth in this segment is their use at manufactured frac sand
plants and then at the drilling sites.
There are new rules to protect workers which do not rely on masks
but instead require that hoods and fabric filters capture any fugitive dust
from conveying and storing sand. Developing countries are passing
regulations to improve the dust capture at metal working, stone, and other
operations which generate dust.
Fume
from combustion of coal or biomass and from the melting of scrap steel or
other metals is captured in fabric filters which require filter media which
can capture sub-micron particles.
These same collectors are also now typically tasked with removing
acid gases, vaporous metals such as mercury, and or volatile organic
compounds. This is accomplished with the use of absorption or adsorption
materials such as lime and activated carbon.
The
McIlvaine Company tracks the markets for the systems, equipment, bags, and
media in every industry in every country. The forecasts are continually
adjusted to reflect the impact of improved technology such as pleated
filter elements or low drag bags. Market shares are tabulated for suppliers
at each level (systems, equipment, bags, and media).
The
World Fabric Filter and Element market report is unique in that it
also provides market and technology insights to expand the market.
It
is contributing by identifying those features which reduce the total cost
of ownership even though they increase initial cost. A major initiative is
the analysis of a new solution for climate change which maximizes use of
fabric filters: Opportunistic
Biomass - CCS Program is the Route chosen by the UK and Japan
Another
initiative involves bag cleaning regimes which maximize the reaction of
lime and other reagents with gas phase pollutants.
The
report is continuously updated and includes the monthly Fabric Filter
Newsletter and Knowledge Network. Custom research is also available.
