Power Industry will Spend over $1.5 billion for Gas Measurement in 2022
There will be substantial increases in purchase of gas measurement devices in the power industry over the next five years. The purchase of instrumentation will expand faster than the construction of new power plants due to the following factors.
• Increasing measurement and control at existing plants
• Expansion of coal fired capacity in Asia
• Expansion of gas turbine combined cycle plant capacity worldwide
• Development of better instruments which justify replacing existing instruments or use where instruments were not previously used
• Expansion of the regulatory requirements to measure stack emissions continuously
• Expansion in the number of pollutants to be measured
• Expansion of rules to measure fence line and other ambient pollutants
• Improvements of combustion efficiency with better in furnace gas measurements
The top 15 power companies will spend more than $750 million for gas measurement devices in 2022. This includes analyzers to measure CO, CO2, O2, NOx, NH3, SO2, SO3, mercury and dust. The requirements for mass measurement of dust are boosting the market because their cost is considerably greater than the previously required opacity monitors.

Each coal fired power plant project is tracked at 42EI Utility Tracking System.
Each gas turbine plant project is tracked at 59EI Gas Turbine and Reciprocating Engine Supplier Program.

$20 billion Market for Cartridges by 2024
The market for cartridges to purify liquids will continue to grow faster than GDP and will reach $20 billion worldwide by 2024. This is the latest prediction of the McIlvaine Company in N024 Cartridge Filters: World Market.
Commercial and residential purchasers will account for half the total market which includes membrane, non-woven, string wound and metal cartridges. However in the membrane segment the pharmaceutical industry will be the largest purchaser followed by health care and then the chemical industry.
Membrane cartridge sales will increase faster than total cartridge sales due to the higher efficiency and improvements in membrane technology. The industry consolidation is expected to continue and to accelerate due to the utilization of remote monitoring technology to continually assess cartridge filter health and performance. The large filter companies such as Mann + Hummel, Parker Hannifin and Donaldson are investing heavily in remote monitoring systems. This will allow them to provide comprehensive service and replacement programs.
One division of Parker already supplies replacements for all the filters in a plant including those supplied by competitors. Many plants have thousands of cartridges. So the supply of replacements carries with it a high administrative cost relative to filter price. Blue tooth technology can be imbedded in pressure sensors attached to each filter at nominal cost. When pressure levels reach a pre-determined point the replacement filters can be automatically ordered.
