Market For Industrial Cross-flow Membrane Products Will Exceed $10 Billion
Next Year
Municipalities and industrial facilities will spend over $10 billion in 2017 for
reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration, ultrafiltration and microfiltration. This
includes the equipment and the replacement membranes. This does not include the
residential or commercial market for the small filters.
The largest investment will be for desalinating seawater. The fastest growing
geographical market will be China which is embarked on a massive program to
provide desalinated drinking water to arid areas from coastal treatment
facilities.
Microfiltration is taking market share away from granular media filters in the
purification of drinking water due to the reduction in waterborne illnesses with
this technology.
The pharmaceutical market continues to grow at a pace exceeding GDP. Cross-flow
filtration is used to separate product from broth as well as for provision of
ultrapure water for injection in products which will be injected into humans.

Oil and Gas Remains Major Market for Flow Control and Treatment Companies
Billions of dollars of flow control and treatment equipment will be purchased by
the oil, gas and refining industries in the next 12 months. These projects are
identified in N049 Oil, Gas, Shale and Refining Markets and Projects.
The low oil prices have greatly reduced capital spending. However, there are
still major segments of the market which are as active as ever. In some cases,
the slowdown has created new markets. The reduction in drilling means that
producers no longer have a route for returning produced water. This has caused
an uptick in orders for zero liquid discharge (ZLD) systems.
Producers are looking for ways to stay competitive at these lower prices. Linde
has one solution. Its new mobile gas cleanup unit (MGCU) uses a novel membrane
technology to remove up to 98 percent of the CO2 in the production stream. It
was designed to improve well economics, with an emphasis on the 3 E's: Enhanced
productivity or Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR), Environmental footprint
reduction, and improved Economics of the field.
While deep sea and tar sand investment will be negligible, Chinese
coal-to-chemicals and fuels is booming. Air Products just received an order for
its membrane separators for the Shenhua Ningxia coal-to-liquids project. A $20
billion pipeline is now being built to move gasified coal from northern China to
cities throughout the country.
The Chinese have successfully converted coal-to-olefins at a cost of $20 to $25
per ton. China has 10.1 billion pounds of coal-to-olefins plants in operation,
15.3 billion pounds under construction to be completed over the next two years
and a further 33.1 billion pounds in planning. Forty percent of olefin
production in China could come from unconventional feedstocks like methanol,
coal and propane dehydrogenation by 2020.
Petrochemicals expansion in the U.S. is continuing and may even accelerate with
the recent FERC decision not to authorize the Jordan Cove pipeline which would
have provided an export route. Shell Chemical just broke ground on a $717
million expansion of its linear alpha olefins manufacturing plant in Geismar,
LA. The project will make Shell Chemical’s Geismar location the largest
single-site producer of alpha olefins in the world. The three-year project will
culminate with Shell Chemical beginning operation of the new manufacturing plant
in early 2018.

$7 Billion Will Be Spent For Liquid Macrofiltration Products and Media In 2017
In 2017 sales of liquid macrofiltration products including equipment and media
will be just under $7 billion. The biggest investment will be for granular media
filters. They are used to purify drinking water by municipalities. The second
largest segment includes filter presses and media. This equipment is used in
processing food and chemicals. Bag filters are used to clean up wastewater as
well as separate products from liquids.
Belt filter presses dewater sludge. Municipalities use belt filter presses or
centrifuges to dewater sewage sludge. Robust expansion of municipal wastewater
treatment in Asia will drive this market next year.
The automatic backwash filter competes with cartridges and is growing faster
than other segments even though the base was lower.
