Let’s Talk at Valve World Houston next Wednesday or Thursday
Bob McIlvaine will be a speaker at 11:00 a.m. July 15 in the speakers corner
located on the exhibit floor at Valve World in Houston. He will be reviewing the
market for gas turbine combined cycle valves. This is the bi-annual premier
event for the valve industry in North America. Two years ago McIlvaine took
pictures of many of the exhibits and is displaying them at:

Total Solutions Can Add $15 Billion to Pump Company Revenues
As processes become more complex, operators are turning to pump companies for
total solutions and not just the one component.
Energy savings, greater reliability and lower maintenance are all goals which
can be met by pump companies who take advantage of this opportunity to add
revenues of $15 billion. This opportunity is analyzed in Pumps World Markets.
(www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Pump motors and controls have already been incorporated into many pump company
sales platforms. The development of digital monitoring of pump functions offers
significant opportunity for the supplier to generate initial and aftermarket
revenues.
The supply of complimentary devices is another revenue generator. Flowserve is a
large pump supplier who is pursuing the total solutions approach. The company
states that “Having equipped desalination plants for more than half a century,
Flowserve understands energy is the largest operating cost for any SWRO
facility. Flowserve also understands that high-efficiency equipment and
especially energy recovery devices are critical to making the process
cost-effective.
“That’s why in 2009 Flowserve acquired the Swiss company Calder™. Calder
specializes in the design, engineering and manufacture of energy recovery
devices and related propriety technologies for reverse osmosis desalination.
“By bringing together industry-leading pumps, seals, valves and energy recovery
devices as well as unmatched materials expertise and application knowledge,
Flowserve is the premier provider of complete, integrated flow control solutions
for the global SWRO industry.”
Another large pump company who is taking the total solutions approach is Ebara.
The installation of cryogenic turbine expanders in existing LNG plants presents
a very effective upgrade with an advanced but field-proven technology requiring
relatively low investment costs and only short installation time. All LNG plants
commissioned before 1996 are currently operating with an ineffective expansion
valve. Ebara recommends replacing the existing Joule-Thomson valve a.k.a. J-T
valve with a cryogenic turbine to expand the condensed natural gas from high
pressure to low pressure. The thermodynamic efficiency of the existing
refrigeration process is substantially improved, providing an increase of the
total LNG output between about 5 to 7 percent. To attain this increase in
efficiency, no substantial investments are necessary.
There are many ways that pump companies can take advantage of the demand for
Total Solutions. The way to start is with a thorough understanding of the
processes where pumps are used.

Liquid and Air Filter Element Solution Provider’s Revenue Potential Will Exceed
$32 Billion This Year
Sales of filter elements to separate particles from air, gases, water, oil and
other liquids will exceed $28 billion in 2015. There is a potential for
“Solutions Providers” to increase this market by $3.5 billion. This creates a
potential for Solutions Providers of $32 billion. This is the latest forecast in
the McIlvaine Air/Gas/Water/Fluid Treatment and Control: World Markets.
(www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Filter Element Revenues $ Millions 2013
Application Liquid Air Total
Power Generation 100 1,500 1,600
Fluid Power 2,200 400 2,600
Mobile 5,000 3,000 8,000
Municipal 800 40 840
Commercial 3,000 3,000 6,000
Oil and Gas 300 400 700
Industrial, Other 5,000 4,000 9,000
Total 16,400 12,340 28,740
Solutions increase 2,000 1.500 3,500
Solutions Total 18,400 13,840 32,240
Commercial and industrial filter users are spending more than necessary on their
filtration purchases for two reasons:
• Filters do not last as long as they should, so more new purchases are
necessary.
• The administrative and inventory management costs for purchasing small
quantities of many different filter types are substantial.
Solutions Providers can help lengthen filter life and relieve the purchaser of
the administration and inventory management.
Costs to End User Based On a Non-Solutions Filter Price Of 1
Non-Solutions Solutions
Filter manufacturer 0.7 0.5
Distributor 0.3 0.1
Administrative/inventory 0.2 0
Solutions Provider 0 0.5
Total 1.2 1.1
The filter manufacturer retains his margins but sells fewer filters because
filter life is lengthened. Distributors are virtually eliminated. The Solutions
Provider bears administrative and management costs. The total cost to the
purchaser is 9 or 10 percent less and yet the Solutions Provider obtains as much
revenue as the filter producer.
Where the filter is being used in a critical process, the true filter cost can
easily be twice the filter purchase cost. Lost production and equipment
maintenance can be very costly. For these applications it is important that the
Solutions Provider thoroughly understand the process. This knowledge can be
translated into margins above 50 percent and very high returns on capital.
