The objective of this project is to evaluate the opportunities for the use of gas-based technologies for the control of volatile organic compound emissions. The use of emission controls for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) will be driven by both technical and regulatory aspects. The major factor in the current impetus for VOC controls is the implementation of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The Act will result in installation of a large number of VOC control techniques over the next ten years. The project identified existing and emerging VOC emission control techniques. The most attractive and feasible markets for gas-based technologies and applications within the target market were identified. Competing technologies were identified from a technical, economic, and market-size standpoint. The results of this study indicate that there are substantial opportunities for the development and utilization of gas-based technologies for the control of VOC emissions. Many existing technologies, most notably incineration, have a substantial gas base. Combinations of existing technologies and the development of innovative new technologies can fulfill needs in a number of industries.
