WELCOME
Weekly selected highlights in
flow control, treatment and combustion from the many McIlvaine
publications.
Technology Based Forecasting
There
are seismic shifts in the flow and treat markets with the coronavirus
pandemic, falling stock prices, and the Saudi-Russia battle over oil supply
and pricing. Understanding the technology involved is essential to properly
adjust forecasts. For example, knowledge that a disc filter cloth in a
mining application has only a 90-day life is a reliable indicator of a
steady market forward. The knowledge of the short ramp up time and low cost
of producing oil by hydraulic fracturing is fundamental to assessing the
oil and gas flow and treat markets.
This
knowledge is essential to predicting the markets for filters for
coronavirus. New findings that show contrary to CDC guidance the virus is
transmitted through HVAC systems has major implications for the market. The
efficacy of HEPA filters or laminates with gas phase media to remove these
devices is another factor.
Coronavirus and the
Impact on Air Filtration and Cleanroom Markets
These
new developments are taken into account in the latest air filtration
forecasts http://home.mcilvainecompany.com/index.php/markets/air/n022-air-filtration-and-purification-world-market
This
report also includes gas turbine intake filters and includes this March
2020 update. http://home.mcilvainecompany.com/index.php/silobusters/59d-gas-turbine-and-reciprocating-engine-decisions/28-energy/1279-gas-turbine-decisions-update-april-2017. This
analysis shows the value of high efficiency filters with a much higher
price and therefore higher revenue stream.
Face
masks and the availability of melt blowns are being assessed in a special
report which takes into account that yesterday Sinopec started up a 4 ton
per day melt blown non-woven fabric assembly line to produce 12 million N95
disposable face masks per day. This plant was built in less than two weeks
instead of the normal six months.
Indian
utilities are questioning whether SCR can be used for NOx control. Some
pilot tests cite problems due to unique Indian coals and operating
conditions. However, experience around the world shows that all these
conditions are not unique and there are economic solutions. This
controversy is being followed weekly in the Utility E Alert. http://home.mcilvainecompany.com/index.php/databases/41f-utility-e-alert
. The markets are forecasted in http://home.mcilvainecompany.com/index.php/markets/air/n035-nox-control-world-market
The
McIlvaine Market Reports include on the average 50,000 forecasts by
product, industry and country. Optional additions include further
segmentation by product, industry, or even province or State. In the last two weeks, options have been
prepared to segment food forecasts into beer, wine, spirits, dairy,
corn/grain fruits/vegetables, meat/poultry/ seafood, palm oil, soy oil,
other oils, cane sugar, and beet sugar
This
segmentation is available for centrifuges, filter presses, cross flow
membranes, cartridges, valves, and pumps.
These reports are listed under “water” at www.mcilvainecompany.com
This
very specific segmentation allows quotas to be set for individual salesmen.
It becomes the foundation of the entire business strategy.
