Air and water monitoring revenues include sales of laboratory, continuous and
portable instruments and systems. These include process gases and liquids as
well as exhaust gases and liquid waste streams. The values reported include
physical properties such as flow and temperature as well as chemical
constituents such as ammonia or cadmium.
Power is the largest industrial user of air and water monitoring equipment.
These plants extract more water than any other industry and discharge more gases
to the atmosphere than all the other industries combined. Process gas
instrumentation includes measurement of oxygen, carbon monoxide, temperature and
flow. It also includes related measurements such as fuel flow.
Laboratory equipment is also included. Often a solid e.g. filter catch is
measured to determine the constituents in the air or gas. Where the analysis of
the raw material is necessary for pollution control purposes, this is also
included. Many regulations affecting pollution control in coal-fired power
plants require measuring the sulfur or mercury in the coal being burned. In the
cement industry, the metals are measured in the limestone feed as well as in the
stack gas.
The power industry in Asia is investing more than the rest of the world combined
in boosting electrical capacity. Asia also leads in the expansion of municipal
water and wastewater. Municipalities in Asia will spend $1.2 billion for air and
water instrumentation next year. Most will be for water quality. However, odor
control is a big problem and will require a significant investment in portable
test equipment.
The trend is away from laboratory testing and towards continuous monitoring.
Municipalities presently have large investments in laboratories and considerable
operating expense devoted to periodic sampling. This will be sharply reduced as
these plants invest in systems which will continuously monitor and control the
processes.

Large Treatment and Flow Control Companies Expect to Grow 5.2 Percent in 2013
Eighty major companies participating in the air, gas, water, fluid treatment and
control market expect their 2013 sales to be $114 billion up from $108 billion
in 2012 for an average gain of 5.2 percent. The mean gain is 5.6 percent (the
projected sales for the company ranked #41). The McIlvaine Company in its
report, Air/Gas/Water/Fluid Treatment and Control: World Markets, is projecting
sales in this market to increase worldwide from $323 billion in 2012 to $339
billion (in non-inflated 2010 dollars).
Many of the companies participating in this market derive the majority of their
sales from products outside the scope of this forecast. These 80 larger
companies generate only 15 percent of the revenues in this market. The
conclusion is that the larger companies will be growing at the same rate as the
total market.
Companies headquartered in Asia (with the exception of Japan) will in general be
growing faster than companies headquartered in Europe and the Americas.
Future sales forecasts of each of the 80 companies are an aggregate of forecasts
by the companies or by the analysts who follow their stocks most closely.
Individual forecasts ranged from a negative 3 percent to a positive 22 percent.
Low Growth Companies (Revenues $ Millions)
Company 2011 2011 % Increase 2012 2012 % Increase 2013 2013 % Increase
Thermax 1,069 55.83% 1,018 -4.77% 984 -3.34%
Ebara 5,129 -17.14% 5,250 2.36% 5,100 -2.86%
Umicore 16,302 38.36% 17,218 5.62% 16,991 -1.32%
Johnson Matthey 12,270 27.37% 14,775 20.42% 14,687 -0.60%
In the case of companies projecting lower sales in 2013, the reason is
exceptionally high increases in 2011 or 2012
High Growth Companies (Revenues $ Millions)
Company 2011 2011 % Increase 2012 2012 % Increase 2013 2013 % Increase
Cameron International 6,959 13.43% 8,140 16.97% 9,217 13.23%
Sulzer Ltd. 3,238 -4.96% 3,544 9.45% 4,043 14.08%
Fuel Tech 94 14.63% 98 4.26% 112 14.29%
Veolia 36,211 -14.78% 29,304 -19.07% 35,856 22.36%
The companies projecting higher sales ranged from those with steady high growth
to companies which expect to rebound from low or negative growth.

Liquid Cartridge Revenues to Exceed $16 Billion in 2013
Sales of cartridges to purify liquids will exceed $16 billion next year. This is
the most recent forecast in
Cartridge Filters: World Market published by the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Cartridge Revenues ($ Millions)
Subject 2013
Carbon 6,987
Membrane 4,088
Metal 218
Non-Woven 4,687
String Wound 225
Total 16,205
The biggest segment is carbon. The market for carbon filters for residential and
commercial applications includes filters in pitchers and ice making systems. The
filters improve the taste of water. For industrial applications, carbon filters
compete with granular carbon.
Non-woven cartridge sales will exceed $4.6 billion in 2012. These cartridges are
widely used in industry and in both point-of-entry and point-of-use in
residential and commercial applications. Automotive and other mobile cartridges
and those used in fluid power applications are not included in the scope of this
report. Otherwise the non-woven segment would be the largest cartridge segment
(automotive and fluid power filters are analyzed in other McIlvaine reports).
Membrane cartridge sales will exceed $4 billion next year. The chemical and
pharmaceutical industries are major purchasers. Membrane cartridges are also
used in many other industries. The semiconductor industry uses point-of-use
membrane cartridges to capture any contaminants generated in the piping between
the reverse osmosis system and the tool. Membrane cartridges are distinguished
from cross-flow membranes in that they are dead end filters. All the liquid
flows through the cartridge. Cross-flow membrane filters reject a portion of the
liquid which then flows across the membrane and is discharged. Cross-flow
membrane filters are analyzed in the McIlvaine report RO/UF/MF World Markets.
Metal cartridges are used in high temperature applications such as polymer
purification in the petrochemical industry. String wound cartridges are used in
paint purification and a number of applications where their low cost makes them
attractive.
