Is Dry Scrubbing Gaining Market Share?
A number of glass plants have installed ceramic filters with dry lime injection
to meet the requirements to reduce acid gases. Semi dry and dry scrubbers are
finding use on a number of applications including incineration, cement, iron and
steel and chemicals. In general, these approaches are either not as efficient or
use more sorbent than wet scrubbers. On the other hand, there is no need for
wastewater cleanup. The markets for both types of scrubbers are analyzed in N008
Scrubber/Adsorber/Biofilter World Markets.
Two McIlvaine Newsletters provide updates on the scrubber/adsorber market. All
issues for the past nine years can be accessed chronologically. The Scrubber/Adsorber
Newsletter provides the latest commercial information. The Gold Dust Newsletter
provides the financial perspective.
