Lots of New Developments in $11.2 Billion World Market for Fabric Filters and Bags
The market for bags will grow 6 percent this year to reach $2.9 billion in 2014. The market for fabric filter systems will grow 4.4 percent to reach $8.9 billion next year. These are the conclusions reached in World Fabric Filter and Element Market published by the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

The lower growth rate for systems is a function of the proportion of revenues in developing countries. The system revenues per cfm (unit of gas volume) are lower in these countries. The bag revenues are positively impacted by the move to membrane laminates. This media is more efficient, but is also more expensive.
There are a number of major changes in the industry in addition to the introduction of new materials. A number of Chinese bag makers are now making a global presence. There is also movement within China to increase the purchase of fabric filters as opposed to precipitators in the power and certain other industries.
The industry is becoming internationalized on a continuing basis. Within the last twelve months, Nederman purchased Mikropul, Pneumafil and Menardi. CECO purchased Met-Pro. Nederman has a European base and is strong in small fabric filters. Mikropul was the inventor of the pulse jet filter and has worldwide presence in the process industries. CECO has acquired Flexkleen as part of the Met-Pro acquisition. This will supplement its activities through its Fisher Klosterman subsidiary. Donaldson continues to gain market share in Asia.
Media suppliers are very international. Roll goods are being manufactured by the larger media suppliers in several international locations. Many media suppliers have successful manufacturing operations in Asia.
New applications are expanding the market as well. The need to remove mercury has resulted in combinations of activated carbon injection followed by fabric filters. This requirement is going to expand the revenues of filter suppliers in the U.S. over the next few years. W. L. Gore has a unique solution to the mercury problem. The company has developed a medium which can be inserted after the scrubber. It collects and retains mercury.
The medium is not cleanable, but the amount of mercury in a typical application is only 2-100 lbs/yr. So the medium will have a life of several years.

Fuel Cost and Environmental Regulations are Causing Changes in Industrial Boiler Design and Operation
There are many new industrial boilers being constructed in developing countries. Those in existence in developed countries are being upgraded in accordance with new environmental regulations and the availability of alternative fuels. A third development is the more efficient capture of the energy produced. These are the conclusions reached in Industrial Boilers. This is one of a number of segments of the McIlvaine service Industrial Emitters. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
The increasingly stringent regulations are creating a number of changes. China has shut down thousands of small coal-fired boilers due to their SO2, NOx, and particulate emissions.
In the next few months, operators of U.S. industrial boilers will have to decide whether to gamble on low gas prices for the next two decades or add air pollution control equipment to their existing systems. There are more than 10,000 boilers listed in the McIlvaine Industrial Emitters database and project tracking system. Less than 2,000 will fall under the criteria for action set up by the new Industrial Boiler MACT rule. Of these 2,000 units, only 500 units will have to make major capital expenditures. These plants will have to decide whether to invest the funds to meet the new regulations or switch to natural gas or even retire the units and buy electricity. The Industrial Emitters program is tracking these decisions as they happen.
Fuel cost and availability is a major cause of change throughout the world. Europe has regulations on coal burning which require operators to also burn biomass. As a result, European operators are paying as much as $100 /ton for wood pellets from the U.S. and agricultural waste from South Asia. At the same time that natural gas has become economically attractive in the U.S., it has become unattractive in much of Europe. Recently, waste-to-energy plants in Europe have started exploring the potential of importing treated garbage which is labelled Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) from the Americas and elsewhere.
Most industrial boiler installations provide steam for industrial processes. Large chemical plants and refineries also generate their own electricity. Their remains untapped potential to integrate power generation, process steam and supply of low quality steam for other applications. District heating is an example of the way to extract the most energy from the fuel. In a typical fossil-fired boiler, there is a cooling tower to condense the low pressure steam. The large plume visible from these plants is testimony to the very large amount of heat being lost. Several new processes can be integrated into industrial complexes. One is the production of ethanol. The low pressure steam from power generation can be utilized with major cost savings. One of the fastest growing industries is Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAI). The production of fish in carefully temperature and oxygen controlled tanks is proving to be less costly than the traditional ponds. They can be located at industrial facilities and be integrated with power production.
In addition to the cost benefits of cogeneration, there is the substantial reduction in greenhouse gases. If an ethanol or RAI plant does not have to be equipped with a boiler, there is a very substantial reduction in potential CO2 emissions.
