What Are the Critical Driver Fuelling The Direct-Fired Thermal Oxidizer Market's Growth?
The rising levels of industrial air pollution are expected to propel the growth of the direct-fired thermal oxidizer market. Industrial air pollution refers to harmful emissions generated by manufacturing processes, including the combustion of fossil fuels, chemical reactions, and the release of particulates and VOCs. Direct-fired thermal oxidizers are used to combat air pollution by efficiently burning VOCs and hazardous pollutants, thereby improving air quality. For example, in February 2024, a report by the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs indicated that emissions of PM10 and sulfur dioxide increased from 2021 to 2022, with NMVOC emissions from food and beverage production rising by 27%. This increase in industrial pollution is driving the demand for direct-fired thermal oxidizers.

How Are Emerging Trends Reshaping The Dynamics Of The Direct-Fired Thermal Oxidizer Market?
Companies in the direct-fired thermal oxidizer market are focusing on upgrading and replacing aging systems, such as low NOx thermal oxidizers, to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. A low NOx thermal oxidizer is designed to minimize nitrogen oxide formation during combustion. For example, in April 2023, Catalytic Products International (CPI), a US-based air pollution control company, installed a new direct-fired thermal oxidizer (DFTO) at a pharmaceutical plant in Western USA. This system replaced an older model to comply with the Clean Air Act and other regulations. The DFTO ensures a 99% destruction rate for a range of solvents, including toluene, methanol, and acetone.
