Many New Refinery Projects Are In the Developing Countries

Refinery projects totaling hundreds of billions of dollars are underway in countries which were formerly just oil producers. These projects along with oil and gas, tar sands and other refining projects are tracked in Oil, Gas, Shale and Refining Markets and Projects, a service provided by the McIlvaine Company.  (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

Ukraine-based DMSS is planning the investment.

Talara

Peru

$1.7 billion upgrade

Increase oil production to 95,000 barrels a day.

Refineria del Pacifico

Ecuador

$13 billion new refinery

Petroecuador, will own 51%, the remaining 49% owned by PdVSA.

There are a number of projects in South America including a $13 billion project in Ecuador. In the Middle East, there are many projects including two by Kuwait totaling $30 billion. Nigeria and South Africa are two African countries with considerable project activity.

These projects typically involve a coordinated sales effort. The owner is likely to be in one country while the engineering company is in another country.  The EPC contractor can be in a third country and the plant location in a fourth country.  The sale of common components such as pumps and valves may also entail pursuing sub-system contractors in multiple countries.

Power Plants Will Spend $21 Billion Next Year on Water Related Equipment and Consumables

Nuclear, fossil, wind and solar power plant operators will spend $21 billion in 2014 for hardware and consumables to move, treat and monitor water. This is the conclusion reached by the McIlvaine Company by aggregating forecasts appearing in its power and water related market reports.

Coal-fired power plant operators in East Asia will account for the majority of the hardware expenditures and nearly 20 percent of the consumables.  Nuclear, gas turbine and coal-fired power plants use massive amounts of water for cooling.  Additional water is needed for the scrubbers and for the steam cycle.  The water which is converted to steam has to be of the highest purity.

Wastewater from the scrubber, flyash transport, cooling water blowdown and other sources needs to be treated before release. This involves lots of chemicals and filtration equipment.

There is a movement toward zero liquid discharge. This involves evaporation of waste slurries.  It adds additional hardware and cost to the operator, but eliminates any potential water pollution.
