Flare Monitoring Market by Mounting Method (In Process-Mass Spectrometers, Gas Chromatographs, Gas Analyzers; Remote-IR Imagers, MSIR Imagers), Industry (Refineries, Petrochemical, Onshore Oil & Gas Production Sites), & Geography - Global Forecast to 2023
[160 Pages Report]Flaring is generally defined as the process of controlled and open-flame burning of gases, which are either regarded as unwanted and surplus or are harmful to the process and human safety. Such gases are generated mainly from drilling and exploration activities by the oil & gas, refineries, petrochemical and chemical industries, waste disposal/ landfills, metal production sites, etc. Gas flaring is one of the critical sources of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and VOCs, such as methane. As a result, flare stack operators are required to install flare monitoring systems to ensure that the toxic hydrocarbons are neutralized before being released into the air.
The flare monitoring market was valued at USD 760.4 Million in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 1,251.7 Million by 2023, at a CAGR of 8.24% between 2018 and 2023. The requirement for flare monitoring systems is driven mainly by increasingly stringent environmental regulations, benefits offered by direct flare monitoring systems, and steady expansion of the oil & gas and petrochemical industries.
By mounting method, the remote technology segment to record the highest growth during the forecast period.
Based on mounting method, the flare monitoring market is categorized into the in-process and remote segments. Ease of process monitoring, inexpensive in comparison to in-process technologies, and compliance with most of the environmental norms are some of the key growth drivers of the remote flare monitoring market. Among the available remote mounting technologies, thermal (IR) imagers accounted for the largest market share, in terms of value, in 2017. Among other remote mounting technologies, the market for multi-spectrum infrared (MSIR) imagers is comparatively new and emerging, but holds promising growth potential owing to technological advancements.
By industry, the refineries sector is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period.
The refineries industry accounts for the highest share of the market for in-process and remote flare monitoring devices and systems. The flare monitoring market for the oil & gas industry is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, as a significant portion of gas flaring globally is done across upstream activities. Increasingly stringent regional, national, and international environmental regulations to reduce the emissions of harmful VOCs and other pollutants right from the extraction to the production of oil & gas is expected to boost the demand for flare monitoring across upstream, i.e., both onshore as well as offshore oil and gas production sites in the future.
North America is expected to lead the market during the forecast period.
The North American flare monitoring market is estimated to be the largest in size, while market in RoW is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The RoW flare monitoring market is driven mainly by the rapid expansion in oil production, oil refineries, gas production, and gas flaring activities across major countries in the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq, Iran, and Kuwait; and shift in focus of the countries in the region towards reducing harmful waste-gas emissions. In 2017, the APAC flare monitoring market is projected to grow at the second-highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Benefits of direct flare monitoring systems
The monitoring of flare systems is carried out using two types of systems, namely remote flare monitoring systems, and in-process flare monitoring systems. Remote flare monitoring systems utilize multi-spectral infrared imaging technology, which, apart from providing remote monitoring of the combustion efficiency of flare systems, also offers other essential metrics, such as SI(Smoke Index). These metrics further help operators in complying with additional regulations, such as 40 CFR 63.670 (h) – “visible emission monitoring” while ensuring optimal flare performance. These factors are expected to aid the rapid growth of optical and thermal imaging-based flare monitoring systems in the near future.
Restraint: Shift in focus towards eliminating flaring by major countries
A number of end-user industries whose operations are not heavily dependent upon open combustion systems are shifting their focus on the closed combustion processes. As compared to open-combustion systems, closed-combustion systems hold higher potential for minimizing environmental harm. Further, the implications of the “Zero Routine Flaring by 2030” initiative by the World Bank has shifted the focus of industries on reducing routine flaring and re-using the produced gases by utilizing it on-site or gather, process, and dispatch it to the market. This is being seen as a welcoming and positive development and has significantly increased the focus of the top flaring countries in the world on reducing the annual economic losses arising from the flaring of useful and resource-rich gases.
Opportunity: Growing demand from emerging economies
Manufacturers of flare monitoring systems are discovering comparatively more growth opportunities in the emerging economies as compared to the mature markets in the developed regions. The demand for new flare monitoring systems in North America and Europe is estimated to be minimal. Moreover, the need for environmental compliance has garnered commitments from several countries to ameliorate air quality and resolve the problems associated with rising pollution levels. To comply with regulatory standards, several large-scale industries in China have been forced to install emission monitoring devices for measuring the concentration of harmful gases emitting from flare stacks. Such favorable government support will boost the demand for new flare monitoring system installations across China. Further, the demand for emission monitoring is also increasing in the Middle East and some parts of Africa due to the setting up of new oil & gas projects in these regions, which will boost the adoption of flare monitoring devices.
Challenge: Technological challenges in adhering to regulatory norms and reducing overall system cost
The strict regulatory framework for emission monitoring creates specific technological problems in the flare monitoring ecosystem. These technical challenges are associated with the maintenance of analytical instruments, design implications, and the integration of different technologies into a single solution. Flare monitoring devices generally operate under harsh environments and even extreme weather conditions (dust, fog, rain, etc.). Remote flare monitoring devices are prone to accuracy and performance issues during operations under such environments. A complete flare monitoring system can integrate different chemical, electronic, and mechanical equipment. This creates a further challenge in providing the appropriate and reliable gas composition analysis of various components of flared gas before and after combustion. Specific devices (such as thermocouples, gas sensors, and imagers) which are used in dangerous and hard-to-reach locations generally come with limited life expectancy. This causes difficulty in calibration, maintenance, and replacements of such devices that can be further aggravated in case of a costly plant shutdown. These challenges place an additional burden on the end-user industries, due to which the cost of annual flare monitoring (inclusive of initial capital cost, and recurring operation and maintenance cost) can range anywhere between thousands of dollars to a few million dollars.
