Overall growth will average only slightly above GDP, but certain segments will experience robust growth. Individual companies can take advantage of new technologies to generate high margins with unique products. The hot gas filter scrubbing process is one such technology.
Instead of using a wet absorber, sorbent is injected ahead of a catalytic filter. One of the big advantages is clean hot gas from which the heat energy can be easily extracted.
