East Asia will account for 37 percent of the total market. NAFTA will be a
distant second with sales of less than $9 billion. The rapidly growing market in
Asia is shaped by a number of factors.
• Investment in coal to liquids and coal to syngas projects: China is building
both direct liquefaction and indirect liquefaction plants. End products are
fuels and chemicals. Each plant has many pumps to move water, products and
treatment chemicals. Korea and Australia are also pursing these projects to
convert coal to liquids and gases including LNG. Pump requirements are
challenging due to the pressures and cryogenic temperatures.
• Coal-fired power plants: East Asia is moving forward with coal-fired power
plants. China already consumes 3.3 billion tons of coal per year but is
targeting 4.8 billion tons. Pumps are used for intake water, cooling, boiler
feedwater, flue gas desulfurization and wastewater treatment
• Municipal drinking water and wastewater treatment: The migration of East
Asians to cities and the infrastructure to meet their needs is ongoing.
• Continuing growth in production of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, foods, dairy
products and fish: China has the largest aquaculture industry in the world. In
fact, fish production equals that of the ROW combined.
• Mining: China is a leader in iron ore production as well as coal.

Air and Water Monitoring Sales to Exceed $32 Billion In 2019
Sales of instrumentation, software and services to monitor and measure air and
water parameters’ will exceed $32 billion in 2019 representing a growth of over
$5 billion from present levels this is the latest forecast in Air and Water
Monitoring: World Market published by McIlvaine Company.

The air segment includes stack continuous emissions monitors (CEMS) as well as
instruments to measure physical and chemical aspects of process and combustion
air. This segment is growing at a high rate due to the huge Chinese initiative
to convert coal to synthetic natural gas, chemicals and fuels such as gasoline.
The main route to these end products is gasification of coal. The control of
oxygen is critical to the process. The removal of contaminants from the gasified
coal needs to be measured. Pressure and temperature monitoring requires
substantial numbers of sensors and control systems.
The monitoring of water and other liquids such as fuels requires twice as much
of an investment as does the air monitoring. One of the more challenging new
applications is subsea gas and oil extraction. Monitoring the boiler feedwater
for coal-fired power, nuclear and combined cycle gas turbine plants is a major
application requiring very precise measurement. Oxygen needs to be measured in
parts per billion. Silica, iron and other contaminants also need to be measured
at low levels.
The new ultra-supercritcal coal-fired boilers require higher temperature and
pressure measurements than previous generator designs. There are increasing
numbers of contaminants which must be measured in the stack gas discharge. The
U.S. has passed regulations requiring mercury measurements as low as 4
micrograms per cubic meter.
The semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries are measuring much smaller
quantities of air, gas and water. However the need for precision makes the
average instrument relatively expensive. So these two industries are also
significant purchasers.

Hundreds of Billions Could Be Spent For Upgrading U.S. Wastewater Plants
The U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Committee recently heard
testimony which makes a strong case that “Modernizing and replacing the
country’s aging water and wastewater infrastructure may be the single largest
public works need that our Nation faces and it requires a serious investment.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) most recent needs survey
estimates $187.9 billion is needed today by clean water agencies to comply with
the Clean Water Act (CWA).
Some of the wastewater plants in the U.S. were built more than 100 years ago.
Some plants are keeping up with their aging infrastructure, but most are not
able to do so due to inadequate funding. The status of upgrades is continually
reported in North American Municipal Wastewater Treatment Facilities & People
Database.
The needs combine upgrades and replacements. The upgrade need can be likened to
that of an old automobile. Current technology can allow much more efficient and
economical operation. Equally important is the need to meet more stringent EPA
and State requirements.
Here are some of the cities which are making necessary upgrades or attempting to
do so.
$52 Million for Torrington Wyoming Upgrade and Phosphorous and Nitrogen
Compliance.
On Election Day, November 4, a referendum is set for voters to decide whether
the city of Torrington can bond $52 million for a massive sewer infrastructure
upgrade this fall. The upgrade is the largest ever for the facility, which was
built in 1939 and contains 163 miles of sanitary sewer lines. The last major
upgrade occurred in 1968. The improvements will help the facility meet more
stringent environmental mandates. The EPA has asked facilities to decrease the
amount of phosphorus and nitrogen levels in wastewater discharges. Failure to
meet the regulations could result in fines against the city and a moratorium on
new sewer connections.
$42.8 Million for Repairs on Bayshore, N.J. Wastewater Plant.
The Bayshore Regional Sewerage Authority (BRSA) will begin a $42.8 million
project for restoration and mitigation of buildings and machinery damaged during
superstorm Sandy at its wastewater treatment plant. During Sandy, the 14-acre
facility was inundated with three feet of water from the Raritan Bay.
King County, Washington Sewer Overflow Project could Cost $2.6 Billion.
A King County auditor's report found that a combined sewage overflow project
originally priced at $711 million could now cost ratepayers $2.6 billion. The
Wastewater Treatment Division plans to build nine new facilities to hold and
treat storm water and sewage by 2030. The clean water is released into local
waterways like the Duwamish River, Puget Sound and Lake Washington. The county
is halting the project for three months until there is a better explanation of
the cost differences.
Savannah, GA to Spend $25 Million Plus to Upgrade Sewage Treatment Plant.
Savannah is upgrading its main sewage treatment plant, moving away from
incineration and toward a process that could ultimately result in the sale or
giveaway of its “Class A biosolids” for agricultural or backyard use. Instead of
burning the sludge that remains after wastewater is processed, the city will be
harnessing the power of bacteria to render that waste harmless.
$140 Million for Visalia California Upgrade.
When the work is done, the treated water will meet California's highest
cleanliness standards for recycled water, making it usable to water lawns at
public areas and to irrigate crops edible for humans, though it cannot be used
for drinking. A key feature is the planned installation of a microfiltration
system that - combined with naturally-occurring bacteria used earlier in the
cleaning process - will remove fine and dissolved particles from the water after
the heavier waste products have been separated. This will be followed by UV
disinfection.
$7.5 Billion Water Bond could meet California's Water Needs during Drought.
The $7.5 billion water bond approved by state legislators recently could help
pay for local projects, from cleaning the polluted San Fernando Valley
groundwater basin to recycling treated sewage for drinking water.
The Los Angeles region depends largely on scarce and expensive imported water,
and the bond funds could help reverse that dependence by increasing the local
supply. At the same time, the money could help restore native rivers, improve
water quality, capture stormwater runoff and build parks.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has some of the region’s most
expensive proposed projects. In the San Fernando Valley basin, the DWP plans to
spend between $600 million and $900 million on groundwater treatment facilities
to clean up chromium and other pollutants left by aerospace companies and
others. The Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant Groundwater Replenishment
Project would add another layer of treatment to sewer effluent. It would pump or
drain water into the San Fernando Valley groundwater basin.
The Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District, which supplies wholesale
water to one million residents, is planning a recycled water project to recharge
the basin with 10,000 acre feet a year of recycled water. An acre foot is equal
to the water used by two families in Southern California per year. The $50
million to $75 million project would move treated water from the Sanitation
District’s San Jose Creek Water Reclamation Plant in Whittier eight miles north
to existing recharging areas that feed the porous San Gabriel River. It would
reduce dependency on imported water by 25 percent, said Shane Chapman, USGVMWD
general manager.

postponed More Information
More information:
This webinar has been postponed for some weeks. In the meantime, we encourage
you to submit information to be posted on this free website.
McIlvaine has created a free website Drinking Water Filtration - Continuous
Analysis. A series of webinars will serve to further populate this website and
make it an important decision making too for municipalities
The tried and true method for purifying drinking water has been the use of
gravity media filters. In the last decade cross flow membranes have been an
alternative selected by municipalities seeking protection against small
micro-organisms. Chemicals and ultraviolet disinfection are also widely used.
The webinar on October 16th will explore each of these technologies and the
advantages and disadvantages of each.
The devil is in the details. With gravity media filters is air scour, water
backwash, or a combination the best way to keep the unit clean. What are the
options regarding underdrains. How do systems utilizing an intermediate layer of
gravel between the treatment media and the underdrains compare to those which
retain the media directly. Should an on-line particle counter be used to monitor
performance?
If cross-flow membranes are used, should the medium be microfiltration or
ultrafiltration.
What about the tradeoffs between UV, on site chemical generation, and purchased
chemicals. How do chemicals aid the filtration process? We are asking viewers to
submit data to populate this site and to review the posted data prior to the
webinar. This will insure a high level discussion.
