Emphasis on Type (Wet Gas and Dry Gas); and End-Users (Chemical & Petrochemical, Cement, Power Plant, Metal Processing & Mining, and Others); and Region/Country
The Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) Market was valued at USD 19.5 billion in 2021 & is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2022-2028. Owing to the higher dependence on the coal-fired power plant for energy generation as well as the increasing awareness related to sulfur emission. Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) is a process used to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from the exhaust flue gases of fossil fuel power plants, as well as from other industrial processes that produce emissions containing sulfur dioxide. The process is also known as scrubbing. The FGD process involves the use of a scrubbing agent, usually a mixture of water and lime or limestone, which reacts with the sulfur dioxide in the flue gas to produce calcium sulfite or calcium sulfate. The resulting product is then removed from the flue gas stream through a series of physical and chemical processes. The most commonly used FGD method is wet scrubbing, where the flue gas is sprayed with the scrubbing agent and then passed through a mist eliminator to remove any remaining droplets of the scrubbing agent. Other FGD methods include dry scrubbing and semi-dry scrubbing. FGD is an important process for reducing the amount of sulfur dioxide emitted into the atmosphere, which is a major contributor to acid rain and other environmental problems.
Some of the major players operating in the market include Babcock & Wilcox Company, General Electric, Chiyoda Corporation, Fujian Longking Co., Ltd., Andritz AG, John Wood Group PLC, Hamon Corporation, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Wuhan Kaidi Electric Power Environmental Co., Ltd., and Alstom. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.
Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst type, the wet gas segment held a dominating share of the market in 2021”
Based on type, the market is bifurcated into dry gas and wet gas system. The wet gas system is expected to register a significant market share in the market owing to its higher incorporation in power plants, industrial boilers and other sources. The wet FGD process typically involves three main stages: absorption, oxidation, and byproduct removal. During the absorption stage, the flue gas is mixed with a water-based slurry of limestone or lime, which absorbs the sulfur dioxide. In the oxidation stage, the calcium sulfite is oxidized to form calcium sulfate, which is then removed from the system. Finally, any byproducts produced during the process, such as gypsum, are removed and disposed of. Wet FGD is a widely used technology for controlling emissions of sulfur dioxide from power plants and other industrial facilities. It is highly effective, with removal efficiencies of up to 95% or more, and is also relatively low cost compared to other control technologies.
“Amongst end-users, the power plant segment registers a significant CAGR in the market for the year 2021.”
Based on end-users, the market is segmented into chemical & petrochemical, cement, power plant, metal processing & mining, and others. The power plant segment is expected to witness significant CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for power and the associated emission of flue gas in power generation. In addition, Wet scrubbers are the most commonly used FGD technology in the power industry. They use a liquid (typically limestone slurry) to absorb the SO2 from the flue gas. The absorbed SO2 reacts with the liquid to form calcium sulfate (gypsum), which can be used in various industrial applications. Overall, FGD systems are an essential technology for the power industry to reduce its impact on the environment and public health. They help power plants comply with environmental regulations and reduce their emissions of harmful pollutants.
“Asia-Pacific dominated the Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) market in 2021”
The Asia-Pacific region is a major market for FGD technologies, given the high levels of coal consumption and the consequent need to control SO2 emissions. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to see significant growth in FGD installations in the coming years, driven by stricter environmental regulations and increasing public awareness of the health impacts of air pollution. China and India are among the largest markets for FGD technologies in the region, given their large coal-fired power generation capacity. Other countries, such as Japan, South Korea, and Australia, are also investing in FGD technologies to reduce their emissions of SO2 and other pollutants.
