More Than 2,000 Major Industrial Air Pollution Projects In the Americas in Each
Of The Next Five Years
More than 2,000 projects with investments exceeding $4 million will be initiated
each year over the next five years by industrial plant operators in North and
South America. Each of these projects is tracked in
Industrial Emitters, a publication
of the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
These major investments are being made by refineries, mining companies and
manufacturers of steel, pulp and paper, chemicals, petrochemicals and food.
The sources include industrial boilers, dryers, kilns, furnaces, grinding plants
and other processes. Sewage sludge
incinerators are another source.
The U.S. will be the leading purchaser followed by Canada and Mexico.
Brazil, Chile and Argentina are the other countries in the top six.
The immediate market in the U.S. is generated by new air toxic standards which
affect cement plants, solid waste combustors and industrial boiler operators.
The U.S. alone has thousands of industrial boilers.
However, only 2,000 will have to make changes to meet the air toxic
rules. The largest expenditures will be made by the operators of 532 large
electrostatic precipitators now operating in conjunction with coal-fired
cogeneration plants. In order to reduce discrete toxic metals, mercury and
hydrogen chloride, there will need to be sizable investments.
The number of projects related to new plants and expansions has been growing
thanks to the low oil and gas prices in the region.
In the U.S., there are new petrochemical and steel projects underway.
Mining projects in Canada and Chile will need substantial investments in
precipitators, scrubbers and fabric filters.
Refining and sugar are two significant segments in Brazil.
The potential to supply upgrades, repair parts and consumables is substantial.
There are more than 300 cement plants in the Americas. They operate
more than 10,000 fabric filters. All of them require replacement bags.
There are more than 200 waste-to-energy facilities which require ammonia,
activated carbon, lime and other consumables.
The 200 refineries in the region are also embarking on new and upgrade air
pollution projects. The typical
catalytic cracker project has cyclones to capture the large catalyst particles
and return them to the process. The cyclones are followed by an
electrostatic precipitator for the smaller particles, then a scrubber to capture
the SO2. This scrubber is often preceded by an ozone generator
which converts the NOx to a soluble form. An alternative for NOx
control is selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR). Forced heaters and
other refinery sources are also fitted with SNCR.
Industrial Emitters has details on more than 20,000 plants. There are monthly
updates which add the new projects, as well as revising and adding email
addresses and phone numbers of the plant operators. Recent air permit renewals
are also incorporated. Case histories and industry news are supplied in
three monthly newsletters (Fabric Filter, Precipitator and Scrubber/Adsorber).

Brazil
Market forecasts for Brazil's economic growth and inflation worsened for an
eighth straight week, according to a central bank survey.
The median forecast of about 100 economists in the weekly central bank survey
projected Brazil's economy to shrink 0.5% this year, down from a contraction of
0.42% in the prior week's poll. Annual inflation is set to end 2015 at 7.33%, up
from 7.27% in the prior survey.

Japan
Japan’s economy pulled out of recession more slowly than expected last quarter,
with soft spending by businesses and consumers underscoring the challenges
facing Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as he tries to steer the nation to a robust
recovery.
The worst is likely over for Japan in the near term, economists said recently,
but Mr. Abe still faces a difficult balancing act as he tries to get prices and
wages to rise at the same time. Growth last quarter was driven by exports, while
sustainable expansion depends on instilling confidence in consumers who account
for around 60% of the economy, and whose wages have been rising more slowly than
prices for more than a year.
“I was surprised by how weak household spending was,” said Shotaro Kuga, an
economist at Daiwa Institute of Research, said of the fourth quarter results.
“The economy is recovering—it’s just the pace of the recovery is less than
forecast.”

Russia
Russia’s economy minister said that the country’s gross domestic product is
expected to shrink by 3% in 2015 with oil prices at $50 a barrel and an
estimated capital outflow at $115 billion, Russian news agencies reported.
The government previously predicted the decrease in GDP at 0.8%. Inflation in
2015 is now forecast to stand at 12%, up from the previous estimate of 7.5%,
Alexei Ulyukayev said, Russian news agencies reported.
The announcement comes a day after the Russian central bank unexpectedly lowered
its key interest rate by two percentage points, sending the ruble lower. Russia
was also recently downgraded to “junk” level, below investment-grade, by the
credit rating company Standard & Poor’s amid the mounting violence in eastern
Ukraine. .”
