Mobile Devices and Route Maps Will Enrich Your Chem Show Experience
Route maps at the Chem show next week provide links to very specific data which
should not only lead the visitor to the relevant stands, but provide him
preliminary information on how the product fits his application. We will be
updating the maps continuously during the show as well as in between now and
Tuesday.
Six applications oriented Route Maps allow you to determine which stands to
visit and even to arrange meetings by mobile phone. Just click on any Decision
Tree for the details.

Industrial Facilities in the U.S. are Spending Billions of Dollars on Flow
Control and Treatment
With the competitive price of energy in the U.S. industrial plants are
expanding. At the same time, they are investing in pollution control equipment
to meet new air and water regulations. The result is a multibillion dollar
annual investment which is likely to continue over the next decade. The
individual facilities and projects are tracked in McIlvaine Industrial Emitters
and McIlvaine U.S. Industrial Facilities with Water Discharges.
(www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Some of the biggest expenditures will be made by plants operating large
combustion boilers to produce electricity and steam. Some of the categories with
the largest number of industrial boiler operators are:
Chemical Plants 353
Fabricated Metals 117
Food 141
Furniture 56
Non Metallic Minerals 92
Paper 212
Petroleum 96
Plastics 144
Primary Metals 81
Transportation Equipment 143
Tens of thousands of plants and institutions operate small gas-fired boilers.
Equally large numbers of plants have some kind of toxic emissions to air and
water. One hundred forty cement plants are subject to the MACT rule which
requires reduction of mercury, particulate and HCl. Close to 1,000 industrial
boilers burning coal and solid fuels are likely install equipment under the new
Industrial MACT rule.
Large numbers of industrial facilities discharge treated effluent into
waterways. Here are some of the leaders:
Gold Ores 1,831
Crushed and Broken Limestone 1,766
Construction Sand and Gravel 1,749
Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas 1,642
Petroleum Bulk Stations 1,365
Coal and Lignite Mining 1,263
Refuse Systems 1,036
The construction sand market is booming due to its use in hydraulic fracturing
of oil and gas shale.

Every Region Is a Winner and a Loser in the Flow and Treatment Export Battle
Suppliers of flow control and treatment products including those dealing with
air, gases, water and other liquids are generating annual revenues of over $300
billion. Each region of the world is participating both in the manufacture and
consumption of these products. In Air/Gas/Water/Fluid Treatment and Control:
World Market, McIlvaine Company analyzes the production, imports and exports in
each region and country. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
China is now a major exporter of filter bags and filter media. Much of the
finished bag export is by local companies. However, the export of filter media
as roll goods is from Chinese factories owned by the big international media
companies such as Ahlstrom, Lydall, Hollingsworth & Vose, BWF and Andrew.
Europe is a major net exporter of sophisticated decanter and disc type
centrifuges used in municipal wastewater treatment as well as chemical and food
and beverage applications. Europe enjoys a lead in the export of industrial and
municipal pumps, although it should be noted that Flygt is part of the U.S.
based Xylem.
In terms of air pollution control systems for power plants, the Chinese dominate
the market but not the exports. The reason is the huge size of the domestic
market. It is anticipated that the Chinese air pollution companies will play a
significant role in Southeast Asia. This market is very international. Alstom
which is headquartered in France conducts its air pollution control business
from the U.S. Hitachi and Mitsubishi have large operations in Europe and the U.S
as well as in Japan.
The U.S. continues to enjoy the export lead in the valve segment. The top three
companies Pentair, Flowserve and Emerson are U.S. based and have ten percent of
the global market. Chinese companies are starting to play a bigger role. Neway
now has a major presence in Europe.
The U.S. also holds a slight edge over Europe in terms of exports of air and
water instrumentation. However, Thermo Fisher recently set up its main air
pollution research center in China. This initiative by Thermo Fisher lends
credence to the belief that the whole emphasis on national exports and imports
is outdated. International companies rather than national governments are
proving to be more influential in creating jobs and wealth than are any of the
individual countries in which they operate.
An example of this increasing importance of international companies is the
acquisition of Howden (UK) by Colfax. This U.S. company now operates the world’s
largest fan manufacturing facilities.
