Major Changes in the Scrubber Market Due To Hot Gas Option and Vapor Recovery

The market for particulate scrubbers will be shrinking, while the market for adsorbers will grow robustly.  Hot gas filtration will completely change the dry scrubber offerings.  Scrubber Revenues in 2014 are projected at $7.2 billion.  These are the conclusions reached by the McIlvaine Company in Scrubber/Adsorber/Biofilter World Markets.  (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

Overall growth will average only slightly above GDP, but certain segments will experience robust growth.  Individual companies can take advantage of new technologies to generate high margins with unique products.  The hot gas filter scrubbing process is one such technology.

Instead of using a wet absorber, sorbent is injected ahead of a catalytic filter.  One of the big advantages is clean hot gas from which the heat energy can be easily extracted.
