The growth in the global mist eliminator market is driven by growth in the power sector and global desalination industry, strict emission guidelines and rapid urbanization in developing markets. Additionally, stringent emission rules and regulations have led to increase in the usage of mist controllers to prevent the emission and oil mist from contaminating air or soil, and assisting industrial facilities to comply with the environmental regulations; however, the uncertain oil and gas market has negatively impacted the growth of the global mist eliminator market. The unpredictable oil prices have created an environment of uncertainty in the global mist eliminator market. Additionally, the shifting trend of generating power from renewable sources has negatively impacted the growth of the global mist eliminator market.
Mist eliminator is designed to eradicate pollutants from process air emissions, which are present as mist droplets to recover the valuable products. These pollutants include machine coolant mist, sulfuric acid mist, chromic acid mist and oil mist. These eliminators reduce emissions, protect the downstream equipment and enhance the product purity. Mist eliminator is primarily manufactured from stainless steel, galvanized steel and aluminum materials. It is extensively used in industrial and chemical sectors for various applications, such as natural gas cleaning, cover scrubbers, distillation, knock-out drums, absolution and GDU columns, separators, flue gas cleaning, exhaust system for a bio-reactor vessel, steam drying, evaporation processes and process vessels.
The global mist eliminator market has been categorized on the basis of type, material and end-user industry. On the basis of type, the market has been segmented into wire mesh, fiber-bed and baffle type. The wire mesh-type segment is expected to witness the fastest growth, during the forecast period, owing to low cost and high efficiency of wire mesh in removing liquid droplets from the vapor or gas streams. On the basis of material, the market has been segmented into metal, polypropylene, and fiber-reinforced plastic. On the basis of end-user industry, the market has been categorized into oil and gas, desalination, power generation, chemical and paper and pulp industries.
Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the global mist eliminator market, during the forecast period. The growing chemical manufacturing industry, rapidly evolving petrochemical and petroleum refining industry and the growing power generation industry has driven the regional mist eliminator market over the past years. There is an increasing demand for mist eliminators from the emerging economies of China, India, Malaysia, and South Korea. The North American and European markets are expected to be driven by stringent air emission standards, during the forecast period, which is expected to boost the global demand for mist eliminators. Additionally, the South American market is offering growth opportunities for the mist eliminator manufacturers, owing to the rapid industrialization and increasing investments in the chemical and petrochemical industries in the region.
Some of the key players in the global mist eliminator market are AMACS Process Tower Internal, FMC Technologies Inc., Koch-Glitsch LP, Sullair LLC, Kimre Inc., Air Quality Engineering, Inc., MECS Inc., Sulzer Chemtech, KCH Services, Coastal Technologies, Inc., Munters AB and The Hilliard Corporation.
