Research Scope and Analysis
By Type
The demister market by its type is categorized into wire-mesh demister and baffle-type demister, where in 2023, wire-mesh demisters dominated the market, and are expected to persist throughout the forecast period, claiming the highest market share by volume. The wire-mesh segment's dominance is attributed to its affordability, moderate efficiency, and low-pressure drop compared to other types.
Highly popular in the oil, gas, & chemical industries, wire mesh demisters are favored for their compatibility with process conditions and ease of repair. Further, having compacted layers of thermoplastic or metal wire, they provide high separation effectiveness & low installation costs.
Moreover, wire mesh mist eliminators, determined by factors like mesh size, wire diameter, & pad thickness, show high collection efficiency. The diverse applications of wire mesh demisters create opportunities for manufacturers to introduce different types, contributing to the anticipated growth in the demister market.
By Application
The main application for demisters lies within the petrochemical industry as this sector claimed the majority share in 2023, they play a vital role in refining processes by separating hydrocarbon liquids from gases, which is critical for safeguarding downstream equipment, improving product quality, & maintaining operational safety standards. The growth in demand within this sector is due to the petrochemical industry's expansion, as it looks for more efficient separation technologies, and the highly strict environmental regulations addressing emissions.
Further demisters find various applications in other industries as well. In the chemical sector, they are essential for purifying products & safeguarding equipment. Moreover, within power plants, demisters contribute to steam generation and turbine protection. In addition, the gas processing industry depends on demisters for natural gas purification & maintaining pipeline integrity. Each of these applications contributes to the overall need for demisters, each with specific requirements customized to the distinct nature of the involved processes.
