Liquid Treatment and Flow Control Market Remains Fractured
Despite considerable consolidation in the last decade the market for equipment
and consumables to clarify and move liquids remains fractured. No company
enjoys more than a few percent of the total market. No company has more than 15
percent of any market segment. In each segment the market share of the top
5 companies ranges from 12 to 43 percent. Market shares for the top 30 companies
range from 28 to 73 percent in the seven major segments. This is the conclusion
reached by the McIlvaine Company through comparison of its analyses in a number
of specific market reports it publishes.

$185 Billion Market for Gas Turbines in U.S. over Next 27 Years
The conventional wisdom, as reflected in U.S. government forecasts, is that the
big increase in generating capacity in the U.S. will be for gas turbine and
combined cycle plants. This capacity will grow by 185,000 MW requiring an
annual investment of over $6.8 billion. These are the latest findings in
Gas Turbine and Combined Cycle Supplier Program published by the
McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

The U.S. Energy Information Administration believes that the U.S. coal-fired
capacity will remain at 254 GW over the next 27 years, while the gas turbine and
diesel capacity will increase from 351 GW to 536 GW by 2040. Most of this
capacity will be combined cycle as opposed to simple cycle. Therefore, the
investment will be close to $ 1 billion per GW.
Peaking plants traditionally operated a short time per year when demand was at
its highest. Today, a gas turbine peaking plant may operate for a
substantial portion of the year to offset fluctuations in solar and wind
generation. Since the efficiency of combined cycle plants is much higher
than simple cycle and the greenhouse gas emissions much lower, regulators are
demanding that peaking plants not only incorporate the steam cycle, but that
they also have efficient NOx reduction and CO oxidation systems.
