Vapor Recovery Units Market Segments: By Application (Processing, Storage, and Transportation); By End-Use Industry (Oil & Gas, Chemicals & Petrochemicals, Pharmaceuticals and Others); and Region - Analysis of Market Size, Share & Trends for 2014 - 2019 and Forecasts to 2030
[ 170 + Pages Research Report ] Vapor Recovery Units Market to surpass USD 1,230.2 Million by 2030 from USD 750.1 Million in terms of value and 10,210.8 Units in terms of volume in 2018 growing at a CAGR of 5.12% throughout the forecast period, i.e., 2019-30
A vapor recovery unit (VRU) is a system used to recover vapors that can be reused for industrial applications, such as oil, natural gas, and other fuels. In upstream and downstream procedures in the chemical process industry, vapor recovery units are mainly used. The use of a vapor recovery unit will minimize toxic emissions of methane from the storage tanks of crude oil. The vapor recovery unit uses various techniques for vapor recoveries, such as condensation, absorption, adsorption, and membrane separation. Vapors are condensed by temperature reduction in the process of condensation. Adsorption is a process of a surface phenomenon that produces an absorbent film on the absorbent surface for the vapor recovery device. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires operators in the United States to carry out vapor treatment processes in natural gas manufacturing plants, natural gas wells, and hydrocarbon storage facilities to manage toxic air pollution.
Global Vapor Recovery Units Market to surpass USD 1,230.2 Million by 2030 from USD 750.1 Million in terms of value and 10,210.8 Units in terms of volume in 2018 growing at a CAGR of 5.12% throughout the forecast period, i.e., 2019-30 owing to the increasing demand for Vapor Recovery Units for intermediate products or purification processes in the downstream processes of the oil & gas industry. Also, the strict government regulations on VOC emissions, combined with rising concerns about the toxic and hazardous gases released from the petrochemical industry, are expected to fuel demand growth during the forecast period. Growing efforts to provide employees with healthy workplaces would also lead to the growth of the sector. Growing the use of these units would lead to greater operating efficiency and lower costs.
Global Vapor Recovery Units Market is segmented by Application as processing, storage, and transportation. The transportation application segment is estimated to lead the vapor recovery units market in 2018, and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. This segment's growth can be due to the growing use in the oil & gas industry of vapors recovery units. In transportation, vapors recovery units are commonly used to minimize VOC emissions and make the recovered vapors saleable. The growth of the transportation segment is therefore driven by growing demand for the installation of vapors recovery units in truck loading and rail loading. Crude oil storage tanks, along with some inert gases, contain light hydrocarbons such as methane, natural gas liquids, and harmful air contaminants. These gases vaporize during storage and are stored in the storage room. Vapors are vented out into the atmosphere as the liquid volume in the tank fluctuates. To extract these hydrocarbons, vapors recovery units are used, which can then be sold and used as fuel in onsite operations. All of this results in substantial cost savings.
Global Vapor Recovery Units Market is segmented by End-Use Industry into oil & gas, chemicals & petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and others. Due to the growing demand for downstream processes and pollution control systems to comply with the stringent regulations for VOC emissions, the oil & gas segment is expected to lead the market for the next five years. The growth of the oil & gas industry is fueled by increased demand for oil & gas products from emerging economies, such as China and India.
Strict regulatory policies regarding VOC emission
The emission of volatile organic compounds that are combined with air in the atmosphere is the responsibility of various industries. These chemicals are toxic air pollutants that can damage the environment. To minimize the adverse effects of VOC pollution, government agencies in different countries have introduced strict environmental regulations. These regulatory policies have required the installation of vapor recovery units in each plant by crude oil production companies and the petroleum industry. For example, in May 2016, the U.S. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has adopted a set of requirements to reduce emissions of VOC, methane, and toxic air in the oil and gas field.
Economic and environmental advantages offered by vapor recovery units
Light hydrocarbons such as methane, natural gas liquids, dangerous air pollutants (HAP), and some inert gases are present in crude oil tanks. These hydrocarbons vaporize during storage and are stored in the storage room. When the liquid volume in the tank fluctuates, these vapors are vented into the atmosphere. To extract and store these vaporized hydrocarbons, vapor recovery units are installed. In onsite operations, these hydrocarbons may be further used and sold as fuel. All of this results in substantial cost savings and reductions in the emission of methane emission.
High initial investment and low ROI
The cost can fluctuate due to customer specifications. Updated vapor recovery systems will, therefore, differ considerably from the standard model. Vapor recovery units used in marine loading applications are more costly than those used in applications for truck loading. High capital spending is therefore anticipated to impede the growth of the market. Improper vapor recovery unit handling and installation can lead to safety and environmental concerns.
BORSIG Membrane Technology (Germany)
Global Vapor Recovery Units Market is segmented based on regional analysis into five major regions. These include North America, Latin America, Europe, APAC, and MENA.
Global Vapor Recovery Units Market in North America held the largest market share of 29.2% in the year 2018 and is projected to remain the dominant segment over the forecast period due to rapid industrialization and discoveries of new shale oil and gas fields. In Europe, countries such as the United Kingdom, France, and Germany have used vapor recovery units for industrial purposes on a broader scale. Countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar use vapor recovery units extensively in the Middle East, as these countries mainly extract oil and gas. Countries such as Australia have made the use of these units mandatory in the Asia Pacific region to mitigate environmental hazards. The market for vapor recovery units to mitigate environmental pollution is strong in countries such as India, China, and Japan.
