Automatic Tube Cleaning System Market Size Report to 2028

[Research Report] The automatic tube cleaning systems market was valued at US$ 110.08 million in 2020 and is projected to reach US$ 158.18 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.74 % from 2021 to 2028.

An automatic tube cleaning device consists of a cleaning body that moves through the tube, removing deposits from the tube wall. It starts with a brush or ball that is pushed in the tube by a rod or a fluid spring in the most basic device. However, many mechanisms have emerged in the large-scale technology and industrial sectors, necessitating a more comprehensive description. Automatic tube cleaning systems improve the operating performance of HVAC systems, which drives the growth of the automatic tube cleaning system market. However, the lack of knowledge about the impressive benefits of automated tube cleaning systems and the possibility of fault detection in some systems restrain the growth of the market. Additionally, the growing number of future desalination installation projects is expected to create lucrative growth prospects for the market in the coming years.

Furthermore, government bodies are  launching new initiatives to make energy more effective. For example, the Indian government created the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) for new commercial buildings on May 27, 2007. The ECBC set minimum energy standards for new commercial buildings with a connected load of 100kW or contract demand of 120 KVA or more. Even though the EC Act 2001 gives the central government power, state governments may amend the code to meet local or regional needs and then notify the public. These factors consent building owners to inspect their electrical systems regularly, resulting in increased demand for automatic tube cleaning systems.

Commercial spaces and refineries are now working on utilizing energy-efficient processes. In the near future, the need to save coal-fired power plants is likely to fuel the growth of the automated tube cleaning system market. Furthermore, the tube cleaning is expected in the medical and healthcare industries as well as in the food industry.

The automated tube cleaning system market in Asia Pacific is expected to witness considerable growth during the forecast year owing to infrastructure and economic growth. The field holds a lot of promise for automated tube cleaning systems. The growing need for energy savings and improved operating efficiency in refineries and commercial spaces is driving the demand for automatic tube cleaning systems in APAC. In the coming years, rising electricity demand due to improved economic growth would lead to the construction of more power plants, which is expected to propel the demand for automated tube cleaning systems in the power generation industry.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Automated Tube Cleaning Systems Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted countries across the world. To prevent the transmission of the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, the governments of countries have imposed national lockdowns. People have been restricted from leaving their homes so that they are not able to go to their workplaces. To keep their financial activities going throughout the epidemic, businesses all over the world have moved from traditional to online modules. As a result of the online module adoption, fewer people are going to workplaces, resulting in fewer operational HVAC systems and less maintenance. As a result, amid the pandemic, the adoption of automatic tube cleaning is being hampered.

Growing Usage of Automatic Tube Cleaning Systems in Refinery Industry

Many processes in oil refineries suffer from heavy fouling, which affects overall plant efficiency and profitability. Increased fuel costs, elevated CO2 emissions from the fired heater, increased pumping strength, and reduced throughput and capability of processed products are all common operating costs associated with fouling in refinery heat exchangers. Fouling of crude and product streams in oil refineries is an unavoidable issue that has serious economic, environmental, and safety consequences. Fouling has always been a problem in refinery preheat train (PHT) networks, resulting in lower throughput, higher energy usage, and more frequent shutdowns. Crude fouling in PHTs is expected to cost 0.25% of all refined crude or 66 million barrels per year. As a result, ATCS manufacturers are offering refineries with a customizable automatic tube cleaning system to remove fouling from their machinery. For instance, Innovas Technologies, LLC is offering an integrated solution for increasing the efficiency of the refinery's cooling process. Innovas Technologies' Helios Tube Cleaning System technology prevents fouling in process heat exchangers naturally and sustainably, without expensive process shutdowns or chemical treatments. As a result, using an ATCS will help increase power production by 0.5%.

Heat exchanger fouling has a major effect on profitability in refinery operations. The most important effect on profit arises when manufacturing capacity is harmed by fouling. Profits may be reduced by up to 17% in such circumstances. As a result, the market is gaining popularity in refineries all over the world, with more than 160 units in high-fouling processes such as fluid catalytic cracking, coking, desalting, and wastewater treatment. These factors are expected to influence the demand for automatic tube cleaning systems.
