Market for New Gas Turbines and Associated Equipment Will Exceed $29 Billion
This Year
Over $29 billion will be spent for gas turbine and combined cycle systems by
power plants, refineries, oil and gas producers and other industries this year.
This is the forecast provided by the McIlvaine Company in Gas Turbine and
Combined Cycle Supplier Program. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

The expenditure for repairs and replacements will also be sizable. Over $400
million will be spent just for replacement filters for the turbine air intakes.
Over $1 billion will be spent for replacement parts and complete replacement
pumps and valves.
The amount spent for catalyst and for ammonia to reduce NOx will be
substantial, and is anticipated to grow robustly as most new units are required
to meet stringent air emission limits. The investment for treatment
chemicals is also increasing as most of the new units are utilizing steam
turbines in combined cycle operation.

Cross-Flow Membrane System Sales to Exceed $3 Billion in the Americas Next Year
Sales of reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration and microfiltration systems along with
the replacement membranes will exceed $3 billion in North and South America in
2015. This is the latest forecast in RO, UF, MF World Market

The biggest single application will be desalination. California is leading the
way, but many of the countries throughout the Americas have either a lack of
fresh water or only polluted water which must be filtered prior to use. The
islands in the Caribbean represent a significant market. At one time, the
cost of desalinated water was high enough to deter manufacturing on these
islands. But the cost improvements in the membranes and systems have made
desalinated water relatively inexpensive.
The second biggest market is for drinking water. Municipalities are
increasingly opting for microfiltration or ultrafiltration rather than granular
media filtration for particle removal.
The pharmaceutical industry uses reverse osmosis filtration of water which will
be used in injectable drugs. Reverse osmosis systems are used in residences and
commercial buildings where the municipal water is unacceptable. The food
industry uses reverse osmosis to purify water which will be used in soft drinks
and other products that will be consumed but do not go through a pasteurization
process after canning or packaging. Membrane bioreactors are also used by the
food industry to purify wastewater.
