Decision Guides Will Change the Route to Market in the Water Industry
McIlvaine published a 2000-page loose leaf manual in 1974 entitled McIlvaine
Scrubber Manual. It provided users with options they would need to consider in
removing gases and particulate from exhaust stacks for each of some 100
applications. By 1976 manuals on liquid filtration were also published. Today
McIlvaine has over 100 services covering flow control, treatment and combustion.
The services can be broadly segmented into those for suppliers and those for end
users. The decision guides for end users are unique and are changing the way
products are marketed in the water industry. Our PPAQD (Power Plant Air Quality
Decisions plus all coal-fired power plant products and services) has decision
guides on ultrapure water, zero liquid discharge (ZLD), water intake including
screens, and FGD wastewater. Similar services are included for gas turbines
including ultrapure water for fogging nozzles. A new decision guide on Forward
Osmosis is in preparation. You can submit information for this guide at no
charge. Forward Osmosis
Where does Forward Osmosis have advantages over technologies such as reverse
osmosis (RO)? Is it just a narrow range including high solids wastewater or does
it extend to desalination?

Sales of New Gas Turbine Systems to Reach $87 Billion Next Year
The U.S. will install gas turbine systems next year worth more than $30 billion
while the rest of the world will install systems worth $57 billion. Most of the
systems will be designed for combined cycle operation with a steam turbine and
heat recovery steam generator. These are the latest forecasts in 59EI Gas
Turbine and Combined Cycle Supplier Program.
The availability of inexpensive gas in the U.S. coupled with environmental
initiatives to retire coal-fired power plants are leading the swing toward gas
turbines. Solar and wind are growing rapidly in the U.S. but from a very small
base. Gas has, therefore, been the fuel of choice.
The gas turbine power plants being installed next year were ordered more than
one year ago. Suppliers of the turbines with longer lead time have realized
revenue from 2017 installations as early as 2014. High performance pumps and
valves have lead times around one year. General purpose pumps and valves for
2017 installations could be ordered in 2016 or even early 2017.
The financial statements of suppliers also reflect the fact that final payments
are often withheld until after successful operation has been achieved.
Therefore, revenues and costs for major items could extend into 2018.
