Membrane Cartridge Annual Revenues to Exceed $4.6 Billion In 2019
Liquid cartridges can utilize various media including membranes and nonwovens.
The membrane sector has been growing robustly and will reach $4.6 billion/yr by
2019. This is the latest prediction in Cartridge Filters: World Market,
published by the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

Membrane cartridges use a thin film with tiny perforations with a nonwoven
substrate. They are more efficient at removing small particles than media
constructed with just the nonwoven fibers. This same media construction is used
in cross-flow filer systems, but this technology is not included in the
cartridge forecasts. The distinction is that membrane cartridges are filtering
all the liquid. They are labeled “dead end”. Cross-flow filters including
reverse osmosis (RO), microfiltration and ultrafiltration are only filtering a
portion of the liquid which does not cross along the surface and be subsequently
discharged. These cross-flow membranes are addressed in another McIlvaine report
entitled RO, UF, MF World Market.
Membrane cartridges are used in the pharmaceutical and electronics industry to
purify water. They are typically used in conjunction with cross-flow membrane
systems. In the semiconductor industry, the ultrapure water leaving the
cross-flow system is piped to the chip processing equipment. The membrane
cartridge is located at the end of the piping to ensure that contamination
generated in the piping is eliminated. Pharmaceutical uses include purifying
water for human injection (WFI) and also separation of products from the broth.

Air and Water Monitoring Revenues to Exceed $25 Billion By 2017
Regulations and efficiency are two of the largest factors ensuring the growth of
the market for air and water monitoring products to more than $25 billion/yr by
2017. This is the conclusion reached in Air and Water Monitoring: World Market
published by the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
($ Millions)
World Region 2017
Total 25,489
Africa 962
CIS 1,249
East Asia 8,936
Eastern Europe 602
Middle East 1,243
NAFTA 5,515
South & Central America 1,517
West Asia 1,839
Western Europe 3,626
East Asia will experience the largest growth. Air and water monitoring revenues
will approach $9 billion/yr. NAFTA will exceed Western Europe by nearly $2
billion. The oil and gas activity in the U.S. is generating a direct as well as
indirect monitoring market. Shale oil and gas extraction includes monitoring the
product, the fracturing fluids and byproducts. The processing of the raw gas
requires additional monitoring. Monitoring of water supplies before fracturing
establishes a bench mark. Monitoring during and after fracturing detects any
contamination caused by the fracturing.
Indirect monitoring revenues will result from the lower cost of energy and the
construction of new chemical, fertilizer and metal processing plants. Another
positive factor is regulation of toxics. New air regulations imposed on U.S.
coal-fired power generators, cement plants and waste incineration operators
require measurement of mercury, toxic metals, HCl and toxic organics.
The developing world is increasing its expenditures for ambient monitoring of
air and water. This is the first step toward reduction. National as well as
local governments are the main customers for these products. Academia and
research institutions are major purchasers of air and water monitoring
equipment.

“Wet vs. Dry Cooling” is “Hot Topic Hour” on June 5, 2014
Large numbers of power plants in China and other countries where water is scarce
have chosen dry cooling over the wet option. Surprisingly the dry route has been
chosen by some developers in regions where water is plentiful. The reason cited
is the need for quick environmental approval and the avoidance of the delay in
obtaining water permits.
A webinar on June 5 at 10 a.m. Central time will be in a discussion format. All
the factors which should be considered in making the wet/dry choice will be
addressed with the aid of the following panelists.
Jason Rowell, P.E., Thermal Performance Section Lead, Black & Veatch Energy
Division
Jessica Shi, Ph.D., Senior Technical Leader/Manager, Technology Innovation
Research for Water Conservation, EPRI
William (Bill) F. Harfst, Consultant, Harfst and Associates, Inc.
Terry Dwyer, SPX Cooling Technologies, Inc.
Barbara Carney, Chemical Engineer, Department of Energy National Energy
Technology Laboratory
Andrew Howell, Senior Systems Chemist, Xcel Energy
A free website focused just on cooling is being prepared. Material on this site
will be available to the participants prior to the session and will be used to
aid the discussions during the session. This site is one of many which are shown
at: Continuous Analyses
This will be the first of a continuing series of webinars on cooling. The
website will address alternatives to cooling towers such as cogeneration and
beneficial heat use for Recirculating Aquaculture Systems, cellulosic ethanol
and various cogeneration opportunities including co-locating municipal sewage
treatment and power plants.
This first webinar will be free-of-charge to anyone. Future webinars in the
series will be free to power plants and subscribers.
