Big Cross-flow Membrane Market In China for Conversion of Coal to Liquids and
Gas
Over the next decade a large number of coal conversion projects in western and
northern China will be completed. The end result is that 1.6 billion tons per
year will be converted to pipeline gas, petrochemicals and liquid fuels. The
U.S. thought it was going to be the leader due to shale gas. The Chinese are
expecting to move into the top spot as an energy supplier by converting coal.
Water is scarce in the arid regions of China where these projects are located.
All these projects will be using large quantities of water but will reuse it.
Zero liquid discharge technology will be utilized at each plant. This will
create a very large market for reverse osmosis (RO) systems but also for
microfiltration and ultrafiltration systems. Follow this market in RO, UF, MF
