Sulphur Recovery Technology Market Historic Outlook In Comparison to 2021 – 2031 Forecasts
Future Market Insights in its recent study predicts that sulphur recovery technology market will grow 1.5x its current value during the forecast period owing to increasing demand for modernizing the air treatment and oil and gas facilities along with strict regulations to limit the sulphur dioxide emission exceeding the prescribed limits.
International Maritime Organization enforced its IMO 2020 regulations from 1st January 2020 which restricts the amount of sulphur in ship’s fuel oil to 0.50%. The regulation was implemented across the globe under the complementary International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution form ships (MARPOL) treaty to decrease the sulphur oxides level in the air and improve environment and human health.
With implementation of stringent regulations across the globe regarding sulphur emission as well as sulphur level in gasoline and other products, rise in demand for sulphur recovery technological solutions can be expected in forthcoming years.
Shell Inc. recently developed a modern tail gas treating solution technology “CANSOLV TGT+” which captures around 99.99% of overall sulphur present in tail gas stream while simplifying the process line-up. The system itself has extremely low sulphur dioxide emission and captures all sulphur particles that are routed towards incinerator.
DuPont Clean Technologies (DuPont) recently launched an advance steam plume suppression solution called Sennuba™ plume suppression technology used in sulphur recovery units applications.
Extensive research and development among leading market players to launch novel tail gas treating technologies to curb the sulphur emission will accelerate the sulphur recovery technology market growth.
Key Factors Shaping Sulphur Recovery Technology Market
Gas Sulphur Technology to Capture High Market Share
Increasing activities for exploration and production of shale gas are creating positive prospects, and are boosting demand for sulphur recovery technology units from refineries.
Major gas refining activities in the Middle East, Central Asia, and East Asia are increasing, leading to a rise in production of recovered sulphur from gas refining activities.
Stringent norms and regulations pertaining to regulations on sulphur are boosting the growth of the sulphur recovery technology market.
Middle East & Africa to Hold Major Share in Global Sulphur Recovery Technology Market
Future Market Insights comprehensively analyzed the sulphur recovery technology market by segmenting it into four regions- Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East & Africa. In terms of value, Middle East & Africa is estimated to dominate the global sulphur recovery technology market.
However, on the basis of annual growth rate, the North America is expected to register an impressive growth at 19% CAGR in the global sulphur recovery technology market in 2021, owing to increasing oil & industry in this region.
Europe market is also projected to grow at 12% CAGR throughout forecast period, on the back of substantial consumption of sulphur recovery technology in the region.
Upgradation of Tail Gas Treatment Technology to Propel Market Growth
Increasing occurrences of hydrogen sulphide rich feed streams influences sulphur recovery unit manufacturers to upgrade and modify their offerings to meet standards that limit emission of sulphur dioxide.
Hence, most companies are upgrading their tail gas and air treatment technology to capture a significant share in the sulphur recovery technology market.
BASF introduced its new tail gas treatment technology to reduce sulphur content and increase plant efficiency. This technology decreases sulphur emissions from tail gas treatment units and lowers operational expenditure, attributable to the reduced amine circulation rates and reboiler duties.
Presence of multiple vendors renders the landscape highly competitive, prompting them to forge strategic alliances, undertake joint ventures and enter into acquisitions. In addition, technological enhancements in sulphur recovery technology technology and equipment are imperative to ensure a firm footing in the market.
In 2019, Jan De Nul Group initiated maintenance sulphur recovery technology works in Nieuwpoort, Belgium. This project was part and parcel of the company’s commitment to reduce CO2 emissions by 15%. To achieve this, it incorporated renewable biofuel from sustainable waste flows.
In October 2020, Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V secured multiple sulphur recovery technology contracts across Germany worth € 45 million from a host of regional maritime transport vendors. These contracts aim to provide flood protection, construction of a shipping fairway and port maintenance across numerous locations.
Companies are also penetrating lucrative market by establishing regional offices and manufacturing units. Recently, Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co. announced the transfer of its corporate headquarters to Houston from Oak Brook. This relocation will help it inch closer towards its regional clients in the Gulf Coast along the Mississippi River.
Increasing Governmental Support to Create Lucrative Growth Opportunities
Economic and political measures are being taken by several governments to support the oil & gas industry. For instance, Mercosur aims to promote free trade and fluid movement of goods, people, and currency between countries in South America.
Similarly, in Brazil, some regulatory authorities are acting in favor of a fair tax and royalty’s regime to support the oil & gas industry, which in turn is expected to drive the demand for sulphur recovery technology.
The rises in number of refinery projects supported across the globe by government initiatives are creating significant opportunities for manufacturers of sulphur recovery technology.
