FGD – Flue Gas Desulfurization Market Is Anticipated To Reach USD 23.69 billion by 2020 Research By Hexa Research

“Fact-based market research, penetrating industry insights and validated forecasts to help you make better decisions for a stronger future.”
Latest Research on “FGD – Flue Gas Desulfurization Market” When oil or coal is burned to generate energy, over 90% of the sulphur under normal temperature is converted into sulphur dioxide. Flue gas desulfurization is a process to remove sulphur dioxide from gas before it emits to atmosphere.

Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) Market – This is done in thermal power plants during combustion of fossil fuels such as coal and oil. On the basis of desulfurization technique, flue gas desulfurization (FGD) can be segmented into wet sulphuric acid process, wet & spray dry scrubbing, dry sorbent injection system, and SNOX FGD. Increasing concerns over air pollution caused by release of sulphur dioxide in atmosphere is expected to be a major driving factor for FGD market over the next five years. Stringent government regulations over the emission of harmful gases in the atmosphere are anticipated to drive FGD market over the foreseeable future.

Growing electricity demand coupled with increasing dependency on coal for power generation is expected to boost the market demand over the next five years. Growing need of electricity in emerging nations coupled with rapid industrialization is anticipated to have positive impact on FGD system market in near future. Technological advancement in the field to get high efficient system is expected to open new opportunities for the market participants over the next five years. However, high maintenance and operation cost owing to disposal of waste during FGD process is expected to hamper the market in near future. In addition, alternative process to treat sulphur dioxide such as fluidized bed combustion, hydrodesulfurization, and THIOPAQ are expected to restrain the market growth over the next five years.

Technology Insights

Based on technology, FGD systems are categorized into dry and wet systems. In dry systems, reagents such as limestone and lime are directly injected into flue gas to eliminate sulphur dioxide. While in wet systems, reagent is mixed with water to eradicate sulphur dioxide from gases. Wet FGD system is the dominant technology widely used owing to low maintenance and high efficiency.

Application Insights

Application segment for FGD market include reagents & replacements and FGD systems. Growing need for electricity in emerging nation such as India and China coupled with rapid industrialization is expected to boost the demand for coal fired power generation, which in turn likely to boost the market for new FGD systems over the forecast period. Reagents & replacements are primarily used in valves, nozzles, pump impellers, and filter belts. Increasing demand for reagents in this application is expected to drive the demand for reagents and replacements in near future.
