Vapor Recovery Units Market Trends

• 
  

  Technological advances will propel market growth.

  
  

Market CAGR for vapor recovery unit is being driven by the rate of technical invention and advancement is unending. New technology is rapidly expanding in the vapour recovery unit sector. Because of new technologies, consumer demand has evolved from the traditional condensation approach employed in vapour recovery units to a new membrane separation technology. In membrane separation technology, a semipermeable membrane is utilised for filtering. Condensation technology paired with membrane separation technology has proven to be exceptionally effective and efficient in increasing recovery rates while decreasing maintenance costs. Innovative approaches and technologies may fuel the expansion of the vapour recovery units market over the forecast period.

Various industries are responsible for the release of volatile organic compounds into the environment, where they mix with the air. These substances pose a threat to the environment as hazardous air pollutants. Government authorities in numerous countries have passed strict environmental regulations in an effort to stop the negative effects of VOC emissions. These regulatory measures have required crude oil producers and the petroleum industry to install vapour recovery units in each of their operations.

For instance, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a set of guidelines in May 2021 to minimise VOC, methane, and harmful air emissions in the oil and natural gas business. According to the revised guidelines, methane emissions in the country's oil and gas industry must be lowered by 40-45% by 2032 compared to 2019 levels.

Crude oil tanks hold light hydrocarbons like methane, natural gas liquids, hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and some inert gases. During storage, these hydrocarbons vaporise and amass in the storage area. These vapours are released into the atmosphere as the liquid level in the tank changes. These vaporised hydrocarbons are collected and stored using vapour recovery machines. In onsite operations, these hydrocarbons can be used and sold as fuel. All of this adds up to significant cost savings and a reduction in methane emissions. Thus, driving the Vapor Recovery Units Market revenue.
