NORTH AMERICA FLUE GAS DESULFURIZATION MARKET FORECAST 2023-2032

SCOPE OF THE REPORT

North America Flue Gas Desulfurization Market by Technology (Wet FGD Systems, Spray Dry FGD Systems, Dry FGD Systems) Market by Application (Power Generation, Chemical, Iron & Steel, Cement Manufacturing, Other Applications) by Geography


MARKET OVERVIEW

The North America flue gas desulfurization market is estimated to project a CAGR of 4.00% during the forecast period, 2023-2032, and is set to garner a revenue of $6453.04 million by 2032.

The flue gas desulfurization market growth in North America is attributed to the growing public awareness and the increasing health concerns regarding respiratory issues associated with SO2 emissions. Accordingly, FGD systems offer a critical solution to tackle SO2 emissions since they capture and neutralize sulfur compounds.

However, the North America flue gas desulfurization market growth is hindered by substantial investments needed to comply with mandates.

The North America flue gas desulfurization market growth assessment includes the evaluation of the United States and Canada. In the United States, ELG regulations oversee the management of wastewater discharges from coal-fired power plants and the treatment of IGCC power plant wastewater used in systems designed for controlling flue gas air pollution or handling solid waste. The introduction of flue-gas desulfurization has been a crucial advancement in addressing environmental challenges.

While there are various sources of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions, the primary means by which it enters the atmosphere in the U.S. is through the combustion of fossil fuels. Electric utilities are responsible for approximately half of the nation’s SO2 emissions. Furthermore, emissions can also arise from industrial activities such as metal mining, the operation of heavy machinery, and the use of high-sulfur content fuels in vehicles.

The significant presence of sulfur dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants in the United States, particularly in the eastern states, carries substantial implications for the U.S. flue gas desulfurization market. Sulfur dioxide, an air pollutant with adverse effects on public health and the environment, is a byproduct of coal combustion.

The American Lung Association identifies these power plants as the primary culprits in sulfur dioxide emissions. In response to these environmental and health concerns, the U.S. flue gas desulfurization market is witnessing an increased demand for efficient pollution control technologies and solutions. Such factors drive the United States flue gas desulfurization market growth.

The North America flue gas desulfurization market segmentation includes application and technology. The application segment includes iron & steel, power generation, chemical, cement manufacturing, and other applications.

Flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) systems have been in use to control the emission of sulfur dioxide (SO2) from coal-fired power plants since the late 1960s. Among the various coal combustion products (CCPs), the solids generated by FGD systems rank as the second-largest in terms of volume, with fly ash being the only CCP stream that surpasses them. This chapter provides an overview of the different FGD systems currently in operation and discusses the solids they generate.

More recently, power plants have also implemented additional air emission control measures that can impact the characteristics of high-volume CCPs. These measures encompass the control of sulfur trioxide (SO3), hydrochloric acid (HCl), nitrous oxides (NOX), and mercury.

In order to mitigate the environmental effects of sulfur oxides (SO2 and SO3), many power plants and industrial facilities employ flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) scrubbers to eliminate SO2 and SO3 from combustion gases. The conditions within a scrubber and its associated components are highly demanding, resulting in cumulative corrosion issues for commonly used engineering materials. These failures pose long-term environmental risks.

Some of the key companies operating in the North America flue gas desulfurization market are Ducon Technologies Inc, General Electric Company, John Wood Group plc, etc.

Ducon Technologies Inc provides advanced and custom-engineered equipment and systems globally for environment control, emission monitoring, waste incineration, material handling, ash & coal handling, power boilers & economizers, and environmental control for a vast range of industries like mining & incineration, refineries, steel, food, chemical, glass, pulp & paper, cement, and power. The company is headquartered in Penn Yan, New York, the United States.
