Shale Markets and Instrumentation will be Hot Topic Next Friday, February 1,
2013
At 10:00 a.m. (CST) on Friday, February 1, McIlvaine will be providing some
general market forecasts for the oil and gas shale industry. This will be
supplemented by some specific applications for instrumentation. Perkins & Elmer
will be covering the important subject of measuring methane in water. Lee
Marotta, Senior Field Application Scientist at PerkinElmer, Inc., and Dennis
Yates, Senior Spectroscopy Technology Specialist will be speakers. Tom Tschanz
and Bob McIlvaine of McIlvaine will be discussion leaders.
There is a big controversy as to whether methane found in drinking water has
always been there or is the result of some new fracking activity. It is,
therefore, important to quantify the methane levels before and after gas and oil
extraction.
McIlvaine will be initiating discussions on the future of both gas and oil
shale. The U.S. market has recently shifted from the dry shale in the East to
the wet shale in the West. But plans for gas to liquids, gas turbine combined
cycle and LNG plants all promise to drive up the price of shale gas and increase
the number of drilling rigs. The amount of shale gas and oil potentially
recoverable in other countries far exceeds that in the U.S. The question is
when, if ever, will this international potential be exploited?
The impact of regulatory activity has a somewhat negative impact on total
production, but not on the instrumentation markets. The new requirements for
emission reduction during well completion plus tighter limits on air and water
emissions all will boost instrument sales. The complexity of fluids extracted
from shale also requires more extensive instrumentation for both processing and
custody transfer. Measurement of temperature throughout the extensive perforated
horizontal casing two miles underground is just one other example of this
complexity.
This webinar will be free of charge. You can register at:

Some new faces on the scene will be Jacob Kershman and Rob Fredell. They will be
manning the Neumann stand #338. Neumann will announce a new product line at EUEC
which they say will dramatically reduce the operating cost of Dry Sorbent
Injection (DSI) air pollution control systems. The NeuStreamฎ-DR process offers
DSI operators a 90 percent recovery in the unreacted trona in their flyash when
DSI is used for SO2 pollution control.
NSG Chairman and President Dr. David Neumann said NeuStreamฎ-DR enables up to
67 percent reduction in trona usage, cutting DSI operating expenses by more than
half. NeuStreamฎ-DR captures and re-processes the large portion of unreacted
trona from the flyash waste of DSI systems for re-use as sodium bicarbonate.
Yokogawa has sold ammonia slip monitors for the Hitachi SNCR systems at AEP
Clinch River. The TDLS instrument has application for many combustion processes.
Ed Deck and Dale Cathey (Gas Products Marketing Manager) will be available to
discuss instrumentation and automation. Dale is assuming marketing
responsibilities for the TDLS.
Jon Lemkuhler, John Schettler and Janet Chetland of Chemtura will be available
to discuss use of bromine compounds to capture mercury.
Air Monitoring Market to Exceed $ Billions This Year
The market for monitoring and instrumentation systems to measure the properties
of gases including air will exceed $4.5 ฌฌbillion in 2013. This is the latest
forecast in Air & Water Pollution Monitoring World Markets published by the
McIlvaine Company. www.mcilvainecopmpany.com

The market will achieve growth well above GDP because of four important factors:
Increasingly stringent air pollution control regulations
The desire to increase energy efficiency and reduce fuel costs
Process automation and labor reduction
Product quality control
Increasing stringency of health and safety regulations
Developed and developing countries are all increasing the stringency of their
air pollution regulations. Accurate measurement of the pollutants is the key to
enforcement. With the steady increase in the cost of fuel and the negative
aspects of carbon dioxide emissions, energy efficiency is becoming increasingly
important. Instant measurement of the products of combustion and of oxygen is
critical.
Process automation is often dependent on continuous monitoring of physical and
chemical composition of gases. Refining, oil and gas exploration and
petrochemical production rely on these measurements.
Product quality control is also enhanced by air measurement. Semiconductor chips
are subject to particulate damage. Facility monitoring systems continuously
measure particulate at many points.
The safety and health of workers and residents is leading to accelerated
monitoring of work and living space. Air borne contaminants include
particulates, gases, mold, viruses, etc.
All gas phase measurement devices are included. Here are the gas phase
categories:
Ambient air
Fence line
Fugitive
Indoor
Personal
Process gas
Compressed air
Stack gas
The measurements can be made continuously in processes, with periodic sampling
and in the laboratory. Some of the laboratory sampling is of solids or liquids
which have been used to trap the air contaminants.
Devices are needed to measure the physical properties of the gas. The measured
properties are:
Aerosols
Condensables
Flow
Humidity
Opacity
PM10
PM2.5
Pressure
Radiation
Temperature
Measurement of chemical properties is a challenge. There are hundreds of gas
phase compounds which need to be measured. Some contaminants e.g. dioxins,
appear as a number of distinct compounds. It is, therefore, necessary to measure
each and utilize an equivalency factor to measure the total for the contaminant
group. The chemical groups can be divided into four categories:
o Compounds impacting combustion efficiency (oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon
dioxide)
o Pollutants in gas phase (SO2, NOx, Ammonia)
o Pollutants in particulate phase (cadmium, lead)
o Pollutants in aerosol phase (sulfuric acid mist)
The forecasts do not include devices measuring air and gas properties in
vehicles. This is a large and separate market.

Power Companies will be the Largest Purchasers in the $7 Billion Sedimentation
and Centrifugation Market
Purchases of clarifiers, centrifuges, cyclones, dissolved air flotation units
and other sedimentation and centrifugation equipment will exceed $7.3 billion in
2013. This is the latest forecast in the McIlvaine Sedimentation/Centrifugation
World Markets. www.mcilvainecompany.com

The power industry will be the largest purchaser. Power plants extract ten times
more water than do municipalities. Before it can be used as boiler feedwater or
even for cooling, the water must be purified. Clarifiers are used for primary
particle removal. The flue gas desulfurization systems utilize hydrocyclones,
centrifuges and clarifiers. Geothermal plants are also purchasers. Biomass
energy plants require this equipment for the incoming water and for the scrubber
wastewater clarification.
Municipal wastewater treatment plants will be the second largest group of
purchasers. Decanter centrifuges are used to dewater the sludge. A series of
clarifiers is needed in the physical and biological treatment of the sewage.
The mining industry will be the third largest purchasing group. The mining
industry is expanding capacity at greater than average rates. It is also
retiring and replacing capacity. Clarifiers, thickeners and hydrocyclones are
used in the beneficiation processes as well as treatment of tailing.
The food industry will also be a major purchaser. Centrifuges are often used to
make products. The disc centrifuges purify wine and juices. The dairy industry
is heavily reliant on centrifuges.
The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries utilize disc centrifuges to
purify products. These devices are often the largest capital expense in the
process.
