$152 Billion Liquid Treatment and Control Market Will Grow At 6%/yr Thanks to Asia

Revenues derived from treating and controlling liquids including water and process fluids will exceed $152 billion this year and will grow at a rate exceeding GDP over the next five years.  This is the conclusion reached by the McIlvaine Company in Air/Gas/Water/Fluid Treatment and Control: World Markets.  (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

The growth rates will vary as follows:

·         Higher than average growth in Asia

·         Lower than average growth in Europe

·         Higher than average growth for the large acquirers

·         Diminished share for the small local suppliers

·         Higher than average growth in food, pharma, oil and gas

·         Lower than average growth in pulp and paper, mining and steel

·         Higher than average growth in cross-flow membranes

·         Lower than average growth in sedimentation

·         Average growth in pumps and valves

 Answers to Your Power Plant Pump Questions Provided In “Hot Topic Hour” On August 22

Join us next week, August 22, to discuss power plant pumps.  We will be answering questions and displaying material of use to both end users and vendors.  The whole 90 minutes can be a discussion, if there are sufficient questions. Otherwise we will cover the various applications for each design of pump and then review some of the markets by geography and technology. Here are some potential topics:

·         Design for fast start combined cycle gas turbine plants

·         Use of lime instead of limestone FGD and the resulting availability of many more  recycle pump options

·         Pumps for ultrapure water in ultrasupercritical plants

·         Special challenges such as the molten salt solar or the geothermal process

·         Servicing pumps in remote power plants in developing countries
