$61 Billion Flow Control and Treatment Market in 2016 in the Energy Sector
The power, refining and oil and gas industries will combine to purchase pumps,
valves, instrumentation, filters, clarifiers, separators scrubbers, dust
collectors and other air and liquid treatment equipment totaling $61 billion in
2013. This is the conclusion in Air/Gas/Water/Fluid Treatment & Control: World
Markets published by the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Flow Control and Treatment Revenues World 2013 ($ Millions)

Purchases of flow control and treatment equipment will rise significantly in the
U.S. due to the activity in non-conventional fuels. Extraction of gas and oil
through hydraulic fracturing involves substantial amounts of water as well as
fuels. New regulations impacting the release of gases during completion will
boost air treatment revenues.
Refineries are being upgraded to produce higher quality lower polluting fuels.
In the U.S. investments are being made to handle the liquids generated from the
non-conventional gas extraction. The processing of oil sands in Canada will
require substantial new treatment and flow investments.
In the power sector, the biggest markets will be in Asia where an ambitious
program to expand electricity generation through construction of coal-fired
power plants will continue. Many of these power plants will use treated
municipal wastewater or reclaimed water from other sources. The use of scrubbers
to capture the SO2 from these plants results in substantial movement of slurries
and investment in air pollution control equipment.
This forecast includes air pollution control, water pollution control,
processing of liquid fuels such as chemicals, and any application where the
movement or control of air, gases, liquids or fluids or the treatment of these
substances is involved.

Residential Will Comprise 30 Percent of Liquid Cartridge Market in 2013
Sales of liquid cartridges will exceed $16 billion in 2012. Nearly $5 billion
will be consumed for residential point-of-entry and point-of-use filters. This
is the latest forecast in the McIlvaine report Cartridge Filters: World Market.

Homeowners utilize many nonwoven cartridges as well as those made of carbon
block. Cartridges are used to purify drinking water and to remove odors from ice
making. Commercial buildings, restaurants vending machine operators and other
facilities are also using these types of filters.
Industrial applications require a mix of membrane, nonwoven, carbon and other
cartridge types. The membrane cartridges are popular in the pharmaceutical and
electronics industries. String wound filters are used in the paint industry to
purify the product. Since cartridges are disposable, they are selected where the
particulate loadings are light and the service life is therefore relatively
long.
In the healthcare industry, cartridges purify blood and a number of liquids in
addition to water. The power industry uses cartridges in the ultrapure water
systems which provide the boiler-feed water. Cartridges follow other filters
which capture most of the contaminants. The task of the cartridges is to remove
the fine particles which remain. There are a number of large players in the
field. Pall and Millipore are large suppliers of membrane and nonwoven
cartridges. Kimberly Clark, Fiber Web, 3M, Ahlstrom and Clarcor are all media
suppliers. In the case of 3M and Clarcor, they also supply the finished filters.
