$2 Billion Market for Cross-flow Membranes and Equipment to Purify Drinking
Water
Next year municipal drinking water plants around the world will spend just under
$2 billion for cross-flow membrane equipment and systems. This is in addition to
an expenditure of $3 billion to desalinate seawater. These are the conclusions
reached in RO, UF, MF World Markets published by the McIlvaine Company.

Prior to 1990 most drinking water plants used sand filters to purify drinking
water. However, since that time there has been a trend toward use of
microfiltration and ultrafiltration membrane systems. The reason is that the
cross flow membranes can remove more of the disease causing organisms than can
the sand filters.
The most efficient selection would be reverse osmosis (RO). However, the capital
cost and energy consumption is considerably greater than ultrafiltration, so the
use of RO is confined to situations where there is significant contamination of
the water to be consumed.
East Asia is the largest market. It is also growing the fastest. The migration
of the rural population to the cities has increased drinking water demand. Since
the source water is likely to be more contaminated than in other regions,
cross-flow membrane filtration with its higher efficiency is the best choice.

$7 Billion Market for Corrosion Resistant Materials in the Flow and Treatment
Markets
In 2014, suppliers of corrosion resistant materials including FRP, resin-lined
steel and stainless steel will generate revenues of just under $7 billion for
applications in flow control and treatment. That is the conclusion reached in
the McIlvaine online report, Air/Gas/Water/Fluid Treatment and Control: World
Markets. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

Total 6,940
The biggest segment will be valves. Stainless and FRP valves are widely used in
the chemical industry. Oil and gas applications where H2S is present also
require corrosion resistant materials. New supercritical coal-fired boilers
require expensive alloy stainless valves for the steam loop.
Power plant FGD is another big application. There is widespread use of FRP,
resin lined steel and various alloys including the expensive C-276.
