Who Will Dominate the Thermal/Catalytic Market?
Traditionally, the market for thermal treatment systems has been dominated by companies who primarily made systems which generated solvents and other organic air pollutants. Examples are: Durr and Eisenmann. Now you have CECO which has bought both Met Pro and Adwest and is by virtue of these acquisitions gaining market share. Another dimension is the market in oil and gas. Companies such as Koch and Zeeco are strong in the incineration of liquids and liquids combined with gases, but have not been involved in thermal treatment of solvents. Unconventional oil and gas offers opportunities for treatment of combined liquid and gas emissions. One fact not to be ignored is the growth in thermal treatment in Asia. Will there be Asian companies challenging for market leadership? All these questions are being addressed in Thermal Catalytic World Air Pollution Market.

United States
While 2013 didn't exactly go out with a roar, it put in a solid showing. According to the advance report by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, real gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of 3.2% in the fourth quarter. Against a 4.1% annual rise in the third, this marked the best back-to-back quarterly performance in nearly two years. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
ASIA
China
China's economy grew at a faster pace last year than the government's official target, even as Beijing sought to implement painful economic reforms.
Gross domestic product grew by 7.7% in 2013 over the previous year, according to China's National Bureau of Statistics, a performance that matched the median estimate of a CNN Money survey. Full-year expansion was supported by 7.7% growth in the final quarter of the year, beating the survey forecast of 7.6% by a whisker. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST
Spain
While the rest of Spain's economy is either stagnant or in decline, a new report shows that the so-called submerged economy is booming and accounted for 24.6% of GDP in 2012, 6.8% higher than in 2008.
The report by Spain's inland revenue department titled The Cost of the Submerged Economy: Increased Fraud During the Crisis claims that the black economy is now worth €253bn (£208bn) – €60bn more than in 2008.
Meanwhile, figures released recently show that Spain's GDP rose by 0.3% in the last quarter of 2013, up from 0.1% in the third quarter. This represents the biggest rise in Spanish GDP since the beginning of 2008. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
