電気集じん装置市場定義/概要
電気集じん装置は、誘導された静電荷の力を利用してガス流から粒子を除去する大気汚染防止装置です。さまざまな産業において、このシステムは大気中に放出される前に排気流から微粒子、ほこり、その他の汚染物質を捕捉するために利用されています。
さらに、サブミクロンレベルの微小粒子状物質の除去における最新の電気集じん装置の効率は認められています。技術は、捕集効率を高め、エネルギー消費を削減するために継続的に改善されており、産業用大気汚染防止にとってますます魅力的な選択肢となっています。
世界中の政府は、産業からの粒子状物質の排出を制限するため、より強力な大気質規制を実施しています。米国環境保護庁(EPA)は、許容可能なPM2.5レベルを12 μg/m3に低減するよう、国家大気環境基準(NAAQS)を強化しました。こうした法律により、排出基準を満たすための電気集じん装置の開発が促進されています。
より環境に優しい発電への世界のシフトと石炭ベースのプラントのアップグレードが業界を牽引しています。国際エネルギー機関(IEA)によると、石炭は2023年でも世界の発電量の約36.7%を占めると予想され、その結果、環境基準を満たすために発電所で電気集じん装置などの効果的な大気汚染防止技術の大きな需要が生じます。
さらに、インドや中国のような国々における急速な産業成長が排出量を増加させており、効果的な汚染防止システムの導入が必要となっています。世界銀行のデータによると、中国の工業付加価値は2022年に10%増加し、これらの地域で汚染を制限するために重工業部門で電気集じん装置の使用が拡大したのと一致しています。
最も大きな問題の1つは、特に中小企業で電気集じん装置を設置するための初期コストが高いことです。欧州委員会の報告書によると、中規模工業プラントの電気集塵システム建設費用は150万~200万ユーロで、さらに継続的なメンテナンス費用が経済的負担に加わります。多額の費用がかかるため、特に中小企業では、普及が進まないです。
電気集じん装置は、他のろ過技術に比べ、微小粒子状物質(PM2.5)の捕集にあまり成功していないです。世界保健機関(WHO)によると、PM2.5は重大な健康リスクであり、公害関連障害によって年間約700万人が死亡しています。このような小さな粒子を適切に捕捉するESPが不十分であることが、より厳しい大気質規制の達成を複雑にしています。
さらに、バグフィルタとスクラバーは、いくつかの用途で電気集じん装置よりも優れています。米国エネルギー省の報告書によると、布フィルターは99.9%の効率で粒子状物質を除去するのに対し、電気集じん装置は99.5%です。より効率的な技術に対する競争の激化が電気集塵市場の拡大を妨げています。
The electrostatic precipitator (ESP) market is driven upward by stringent environmental regulations and increasing industrial air pollution control requirements. By analysts from Verified Market Research, it has been estimated that the ESP market will reach a valuation of USD 8.19 Billion by 2031, having been valued at USD 5.84 Billion in 2024.
The growth of the ESP market is primarily propelled by the enforcement of strict emission control norms across various industries, coupled with rising awareness about air quality. A CAGR of 4.30% is expected to be achieved by the market from 2024 to 2031.
Electrostatic Precipitator Market: Definition/Overview
Electrostatic precipitators are air pollution control devices by which particles from gas streams are removed using the force of an induced electrostatic charge. In various industries, these systems are utilized to capture fine particles, dust, and other pollutants from exhaust streams before they are released into the atmosphere.
Furthermore, the efficiency of modern ESPs in removing particulate matter as small as submicron levels is recognized. Technology is continuously improving to enhance collection efficiency and reduce energy consumption, making it an increasingly attractive option for industrial air pollution control.
Governments around the world are implementing stronger air quality regulations to limit particulate matter emissions from industry. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has tightened the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) to reduce acceptable PM2.5 levels to 12 μg/m3. Such laws are promoting the development of electrostatic precipitators to meet emission standards.
The global shift toward greener power generation and coal-based plant upgrades is driving the industry. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), coal will still account for approximately 36.7% of worldwide electricity output in 2023, resulting in a significant demand for effective air pollution control technology such as electrostatic precipitators in power plants to meet environmental standards.
Furthermore, Rapid industrial growth in nations like India and China is driving up emissions, necessitating the implementation of effective pollution control systems. According to World Bank data, China's industrial value added increased by 10% in 2022, coinciding with a greater use of electrostatic precipitators in heavy sectors to limit pollution in these regions.
One of the most significant problems is the high initial cost of installing electrostatic precipitators, particularly in small and medium-sized businesses. According to a report by the European Commission, the cost of constructing an ESP system for a medium-sized industrial plant varies between €1.5 and €2 million, with continuing maintenance charges adding to the financial burden. The hefty expenses discourage widespread adoption, particularly among smaller players.
Electrostatic precipitators are less successful at capturing tiny particulate matter (PM2.5) than other filtration technologies. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), PM2.5 is a substantial health risk, accounting for approximately 7 million deaths per year owing to pollution-related disorders. The inadequacy of ESPs to adequately catch such small particles complicates achieving more stringent air quality regulations.
Furthermore, fabric filters and scrubbers are outperforming electrostatic precipitators in several applications. According to a report from the United States Department of Energy, cloth filters remove particulate matter with 99.9% efficiency, compared to 99.5% for ESPs. The increasing competition for more efficient technologies hinders ESP market expansion.
The Dry ESP segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. With dry ESPs, several advantages over wet systems are offered, including lower operating costs and simpler maintenance requirements. Their effectiveness in handling high-temperature gas streams is appreciated, making them particularly suitable for applications in power plants and cement industries.
The ability of dry ESPs to operate without water is valued in regions where water resources are scarce. Energy efficiency is also achieved by these systems, as no energy is expended on water pumping or treatment. The segment's growth is further supported by ongoing technological improvements that are enhancing collection efficiency and reducing power consumption.
The power generation segment is projected to dominate the ESP market during the forecast period. In thermal power plants, large volumes of flue gas containing particulate matter are generated, necessitating effective emission control systems. The reliability and efficiency of ESPs in handling high gas volumes are recognized, making them a preferred choice for this industry.
Coal-fired power plants are required to meet strict emission standards. The adoption of advanced ESP systems is driven by these requirements. The segment's growth is also influenced by the modernization of existing power plants and the installation of new ones in developing regions.
According to VMR Analyst, Asia Pacific is estimated to dominate the electrostatic precipitator market during the forecast period.
