Combined Cycle Plants Are Buying Lots of Cross-flow Membrane Equipment
The lower gas prices will lead to an expanding market for cross-flow membrane
systems in gas turbine combined cycle plants. Some cross-flow equipment is used
in boiler feedwater treatment. Many new plants are opting for zero discharge, so
there is an additional opportunity to treat wastewater. Individual projects are
tracked at: 59EI Gas Turbine and Combined Cycle Supplier Program

AMERICAS
UNITED STATES
Stronger demand for services could drive the United States GDP growth rate
higher, causing many investment banks to turn bullish just as U.S. stocks see a
wide selloff.
Service industry revenue rose 5% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2014,
far above analysts’ expectations. Economists are attributing the surprise surge
to greater discretionary purchasing power amongst American consumers as oil
prices fall. The news caused analysts at JP Morgan to upgrade GDP expectations
from 4.3% to 4.4%, while Barclays raised their expectation from 4.1% to
4.2%.......The remaining text is not included in this sample.
VENEZUELA
Venezuela's economy shrank by 4.2% in the first three quarters of 2014, an
adviser to the country's main opposition group said, after almost a year of
official silence about the state of the OPEC nation's economy.
The central bank has not published any GDP data for this year and has not
revealed inflation figures since August's 63.4% 12-month reading, spurring
criticism that President Nicolas Maduro is hiding bad economic news.......The
remaining text is not included in this sample.
ASIA
CHINA
Investors will keep an ear to the ground as China's policymakers gather in
Beijing for the country's Central Economic Work Conference (CEWC) – a
closed-door annual meeting that sets economic priorities for the coming year.
Dates for the meeting have not been officially announced, but the meeting is
expected to kick off on December 16, according to Ta Kung Pao - a Hong
Kong-based newspaper with ties to the mainland government. The meeting usually
lasts 2-3 days.
A key issue for the CEWC will be setting next year's gross domestic product
(GDP) growth target, viewed as an important signal of policy intentions.
......The remaining text is not included in this sample.
INDIA
India's GDP growth is likely to recover in the next financial year, 2015-16, and
may surpass China's growth by 2016-17, according to Hemant Kanawala, head of
equity at Kotak Life Insurance.
"The Indian GDP is likely to recover in FY16. We are expecting that growth will
recover above 6% next year and by CY16 (Calendar Year 2016) or FY17 India is
likely to surpass GDP growth of even China. India is likely to emerge one of the
fastest growing economies among the emerging markets," he said. ......The
remaining text is not included in this sample.
JAPAN
Japan’s economy shrank more than previously estimated in the third quarter,
contracting 1.9% as capital spending declined and private consumption remained
weak.
The economy has now contracted for two consecutive quarters, a common definition
for recession, the data confirmed, less than a week before general elections
that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has framed as a referendum on his economic
policies.
Last month, the government estimated that gross domestic product contracted 1.6%
during the July-September period. Soon after, Mr. Abe cited the weak economy in
saying he would delay a second increase in the nation’s sales tax, and called a
snap election in search of a mandate. ......The remaining text is not included
in this sample.
THAILAND
Thailand's economy may expand by less than 1% in 2014 due to weak exports and
slow government spending, according to Finance Minister Sommai Phasee.
"This year's growth may not be 1%," Mr Sommai said. ......The remaining text is
not included in this sample.
EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST
EUROPEAN UNION
Malta's Individual Consumption decreased slightly in 2013 and saw its GDP
increase by a similar margin, according to a Eurostat report
The report uses Actual Individual Consumption (AIC) as a measure of material
welfare of households. In 2013, AIC per capita expressed in Purchasing Power
Standards (PPS) varied from 49% to 136% of the EU28 average across the Member
States. ......The remaining text is not included in this sample.
IRELAND
The Irish economy remains on course to grow by around 4.7% this year despite a
slowdown in gross domestic product growth in the third quarter, Finance Minister
Michael Noonan said. ......The remaining text is not included in this sample.
PORTUGAL
Portugal’s economy may grow at the fastest rate in 2015 since before the
financial crisis if oil prices don’t rebound, according to Economy Minister
Antonio Pires de Lima.
Gross domestic product may expand more than 2% next year, exceeding the
government’s 1.5% forecast, barring a rally in the price of oil, Pires de Lima
said. That would be the fastest pace since 2007.
The country’s 2015 budget used a forecast of $96.70 a barrel for next year’s
Brent crude oil prices. Brent for January settlement rose 1% recently to $66.84
a barrel, 30% below that forecast, after reaching a five-year low the previous
day. ......The remaining text is not included in this sample.
TURKEY
Turkey’s economic growth slowed in the third quarter as falling borrowing costs
failed to spur domestic demand and agricultural output contracted.
Gross domestic product grew 1.7%, the slowest pace since 2012, compared with a
revised 2.2% during the previous three months, according to official data. The
median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of 18 analysts was 2.8%.
Seasonally-adjusted output rose 0.4% from the previous quarter. ......The
