Huge Flow Control And Treatment Opportunity In New Asian Coal-Fired Power Plants

India, Indonesia and even Japan are building coal-fired power plants at such a rate as to surpass all the U.S. historical expenditures in this segment.  Because of the size of the projects it  is only necessary to focus on a few hundred projects and an equal number of  OEMs and end users.  You can do this for only $1400/yr. with a subscription to our World Power Generation Project database

Vietnam will add over 50,000 MW of coal-fired capacity by 2030. This will equal nearly 20 percent of the present coal-fired capacity in the U.S. and will equal planned U.S. retirements.  To put it another way, the combined coal-fired capacity of the U.S. and Vietnam is presently 280,000 MW and it will be the same in 2030.

The McIlvaine World Power Generation Projects tracks every project on a monthly basis.

InterWebviews™ will be viewed by your power plant customers

InterWebviews™ are hosted discussions with recorded presentations by your experts. The recordings are uploaded to YouTube with strategic links and are experiencing up to 3500 viewers each.

The best information is no longer in brochures and catalogs.  It resides on your laptop power point presentations. Here are some tips on leveraging this resource:

·       Think outside the box. There is a unique communication route which dictates an informal engineering oriented recording with a presentation by your application engineer or salesman.

·       Don’t make the mistake of striving for image rather than substance.

·       Make the presentation short and focused on why the client should consider a specific product.

·       Create multiple recordings with combinations of industries, products and languages.

Cost and Process

·       The cost is $100.00/minute with a minimum of 8 minutes.

·       McIlvaine sets up a GoToMeeting for recording an interview.

·       The presenter sends his PowerPoint slide deck to McIlvaine in advance.

·       The introduction by the McIlvaine host is informal.

·       McIlvaine sequences the slides as the presenter speaks.

·       McIlvaine asks one question to add to the simulation of a customer presentation.

·       Recording is then prepared and posted as explained above.

Examples

The following presentations have averaged more than 1000 viewers and some have experienced over 3000.

To set up an InterWebview™ or to ask questions, please contact Bob McIlvaine, Ross Ardell or Denise Flasch at 847-784-0012 or email us at: editor@mcilvainecompany.com

OEM Networking Directory includes decision makers for a good percentage of power plant flow control and treatment products

The 40,000 contacts in the OEM Networking Directory include the decision makers for much of the flow control and treatment products and services.  The directory includes architect-engineers, EPC’s and system suppliers.   The directory is updated daily.  Another feature is the financial identifier which is a number identifying the parent and each subsidiary.  This is particularly valuable with Chinese OEMS where there are multiple English spellings. The directory also provides details on the products and services offered by each OEM.  For more information, click on:  53DI OEM Networking Directory .

Thermal Oxidizer Market to Grow From 4 to 18 Percent Depending on Oil Prices and the Chinese Economy

The market for thermal and catalytic oxidizers will grow by over 18 percent from 2015 to 2019 at oil prices of $80/barrel during the period and Chinese economic growth of 7 percent per annum.  At $40/barrel and 2 percent economic growth in China, the oxidizer market growth will only be 4 percent.  These are the latest forecasts in N007 Thermal Catalytic World Air Pollution Markets published by the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

There are a number of variables which will determine growth for the oxidizer market. New insights are continually generated which justify changes in the forecasts.  The Iran nuclear agreement is just one example. The plunging economy in China and the drop in oil prices to $40/barrel are the most significant.  

Lower oil prices will result in less oil and gas drilling activity.  However, this sector in 2015 represents just 15 percent of the total market. The lower prices could actually benefit the transportation segment which includes oxidizers for automobile paint finishing.  The direct impact of oil prices is therefore only a maximum 2 percent drop in the market.

However, lower oil prices will result from lower Chinese economic growth.  So we can assess market forecast variations based on this China parameter and assume there is an oil price correlation.

China represents 19 percent of the total world oxidizer market, therefore, changes in the forecasts for this country will significantly impact the total market.  At 7 percent growth rate in the economy, the Chinese oxidizer market is projected to grow by 38 percent through 2019.  At a 2 percent economic growth rate in China, its oxidizer purchases would remain at their 2015 level.  In addition, oxidizer revenues in chemicals and certain other industries benefiting from the Chinese imports would also not be as robust.  As a result, the world oxidizer market in 2019 would only be 5 percent higher than in 2015.  At a 5 percent economic growth rate in China the oxidizer market will grow by 12 percent in the next four years. When oil prices and the Chinese economy scenarios are combined the oxidizer growth rate to 2019 varies from 4 percent to 18 percent.

Some of these developments are more predictable than others.  The low oil prices lead to lower extraction activity which eventually leads to shortages and higher prices.  On the other hand, the Chinese economy, wars, oil spills and earthquakes cannot be easily predicted.  As a result, there will be the need for continuous changes in the forecasts to take into account the surprises.

Renewable Energy Project Activity Growing

Renewable energy projects are growing in size and number.  Here are some examples of large recent projects appearing in our Renewable Energy Projects and Update.

The K2 Wind Power Facility allowed Canada to surpass 10 gig watts (GW) of installed wind energy capacity, making it the seventh country in the world to reach this level of wind power capacity, according to the Canadian Wind Energy Association.K2 Wind is comprised of 140 Siemens 2.3 MW wind turbines and operates under a 20-year PPA with the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO).

SunEdison, Inc. and Dominion announced a joint venture (JV) for the Three Cedars solar project, a 265 megawatt (MW) DC, or 210 MW AC, solar project in Utah, developed by SunEdison.

The 440 MW Tila-1 hydroelectric project, which has a projected cost of U.S. $649 million, will be followed by the construction of the 420 MW Tila-2 hydroelectric project.  The Tila-2 hydroelectric project has a projected cost of U.S. $555 million.  The two hydroelectric projects will be located on the Tila River in the Kalikot district of the Karnali zone in the far-western development region of Nepal.

Waggeryd Cell in Sweden has invested 60 million SEK ($7.1 million) in a biomass boiler in order to replace liquid propane gas (LPG ) with bioenergy as energy source for the flash dryer. The mounting of the boiler will begin during March 2016 and the start-up is scheduled for September.

WaterFX Hydro I, Inc. will build   a solar-powered desalination plant in California's Central Valley.. Once constructed, HydroRevolution^SM will be the largest solar desalination plant in North America.
