Huge Flow Control And Treatment Opportunity In New Asian Coal-Fired Power Plants

India, Indonesia and even Japan are building coal-fired power plants at such a rate as to surpass all the U.S. historical expenditures in this segmentBecause of the size of the projects it is only necessary to focus on a few hundred projects and an equal number of  OEMs and end users.  You can do this for only $1400/yr. with a subscription to our World Power Generation project database

Vietnam will add over 50,000 MW of coal-fired capacity by 2030. This will equal nearly 20 percent of the present coal-fired capacity in the U.S. and will equal planned U.S. retirements.  To put it another way, the combined coal-fired capacity of the U.S. and Vietnam is presently 280,000 MW and it will be the same in 2030.

The McIlvaine World Power Generation projects tracks every project on a monthly basis.

InterWebviews™ will be viewed by your power plant customers

InterWebviews™ are hosted discussions with recorded presentations by your experts. The recordings are uploaded to YouTube with strategic links and are experiencing up to 3500 viewers each.

The best information is no longer in brochures and catalogs.  It resides on your laptop power point presentations. Here are some tips on leveraging this resource:

·       Think outside the box. There is a unique communication route which dictates an informal engineering oriented recording with a presentation by your application engineer or salesman.

·       Don’t make the mistake of striving for image rather than substance.

·       Make the presentation short and focused on why the client should consider a specific product.

·       Create multiple recordings with combinations of industries, products and languages.

Cost and Process

·       The cost is $100.00/minute with a minimum of 8 minutes.

·       McIlvaine sets up a GoToMeeting for recording an interview.

·       The presenter sends his PowerPoint slide deck to McIlvaine in advance.

·       The introduction by the McIlvaine host is informal.

·       McIlvaine sequences the slides as the presenter speaks.

·       McIlvaine asks one question to add to the simulation of a customer presentation.

·       Recording is then prepared and posted as explained above.

OEM Networking Directory includes decision makers for a good percentage of power plant flow control and treatment products

The 40,000 contacts in the OEM Networking Directory include the decision makers for much of the flow control and treatment products and services.  The directory includes architect-engineers, EPC’s and system suppliers.   The directory is updated daily.  Another feature is the financial identifier which is a number identifying the parent and each subsidiary.  This is particularly valuable with Chinese OEMS where there are multiple English spellings. The directory also provides details on the products and services offered by each OEM.  For more information, click on:  53DI OEM Networking Directory.

Water/Wastewater Treatment Chemical Market Could Be Slowed By the Chinese Slowdown and Oil Price Drop

The market for water and wastewater treatment chemicals will grow by over 16 percent from 2015 to 2019 at oil prices of $80/barrel during the period and Chinese economic growth of 7 percent per annum.  At $40/barrel and 2 percent economic growth in China, the treatment chemicals market growth will only be 10 percent.  These are the latest forecasts in Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals: World Market published by the McIlvaine Company.  (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

cid:image003.png@01D0EC63.EAC4AE20

There are a number of variables which will determine the growth for the treatment market. New insights are continually generated which justify changes in the forecasts.  The Iran nuclear agreement is just one example. The plunging economy in China and the drop in oil prices to $40/barrel are the most significant.  

Lower oil prices will impact the oil and gas industry. But this is a small segment of the water and wastewater treatment chemicals market.  Chemicals used in drilling are not included in the scope of the report. The chemicals used in extraction are less sensitive to prices. Furthermore, the oil and gas segment represents only 4 percent of the treatment market.

Municipal drinking water and wastewater treatment facilities account for 40 percent of the world’s treatment chemical purchases.  This sector is relatively insensitive to oil price fluctuations.

The Chinese economic turmoil is causing more uncertainty relative to the market for treatment chemicals.  First of all, China is a major purchaser of treatment chemicals.  It will account for 21 percent of the purchases in 2015.  Secondly, it is a major importer of products e.g. iron ore which generate treatment chemical purchases in other countries.

China has been embarked on an aggressive program to increase municipal wastewater treatment capability. It has been building 200 new treatment plants per year.  But there are still nearly 600 million people who are not connected to treatment facilities. 

China is embarking on transforming the economy from export based to consumer based and has prioritized environmental improvements for its citizens.  So regardless of economic growth, it is likely that the environmental improvement programs will continue.

A slowing Chinese economy will impact the power industry. This segment accounts for 40 percent of the treatment chemical purchases.  Coal-fired generators are the biggest purchasers. There is 900,000 MW of coal-fired capacity.  However, new capacity additions have fallen from a high of 100,000 MW per year a decade ago to 20,000 MW per year at present.  A slowing economy could reduce capacity additions by 10,000 MW per year but this would only have a 1 percent impact on treatment chemical consumption.

A slowing Chinese economy will impact treatment chemical purchases for mining, semiconductors, chemicals, pulp and paper and other industries. But the impact on the world market will be minor at least over the next four years.

Some of these developments are more predictable than others.  The low oil prices lead to lower extraction activity which eventually leads to shortages and higher prices.  On the other hand, the Chinese economy, wars, oil spills and earthquakes cannot be easily predicted. The Fukushima disaster is a good example.  It immediately increased the world treatment chemical market by 0.5 percent.  As a result, there will be the need for continuous changes in the forecasts to take into account the surprises.

Cross-Flow Membrane Market to Grow By 15 To 20 Percent in the Next Four Years Depending On Oil Prices and the Chinese Economy

The market for cross-flow membrane systems and membrane modules will grow by over 20 percent from 2015 to 2019 at oil prices of $80/barrel during the period and Chinese economic growth of 7 percent per annum.  At $40/barrel and 2 percent economic growth in China, the world cross-flow growth will only be 15 percent.  These are the latest forecasts in N020 RO, UF, MF World Market published by the McIlvaine Company.  (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

 

cid:image004.png@01D0EC63.EAC4AE20

There are a number of variables which will determine the growth for the cross-flow systems and membrane market. New insights are continually generated which justify changes in the forecasts.  The Iran nuclear agreement is just one example. The plunging economy in China and the drop in oil prices to $40/barrel are the most significant.  

Lower oil prices will result in less oil and gas drilling activity.  However, this sector in 2015 represents just 1 percent of the cross-flow market.  Desalination represents nearly 30 percent of the market and will not be impacted by lower oil prices. In fact, lower oil prices result in lower raw material costs for membrane manufacturers.  The direct impact of oil prices is therefore negligible. However, lower oil prices will result from lower Chinese economic growth.  So we can assess market forecast variations based on this parameter and assume there is an oil price correlation.

China represents 19 percent of the total world cross-flow market, therefore, changes in the forecasts for this country will significantly impact the total market.  At 7 percent growth rate in the economy, the Chinese cross-flow market is projected to grow by 25 percent in 2019. At a 2 percent economic growth rate in China, its cross-flow revenues would remain at their 2015 level.  In addition, world cross-flow revenues in mining and certain other industries benefiting from the Chinese imports would also not be as robust.  As a result, the world cross-flow market in 2019 would only be 15 percent higher than in 2015.  At a 5 percent economic growth rate in China, the world cross-flow membrane market will grow by 18 percent in the next four years.

Some of these developments are more predictable than others.  The low oil prices lead to lower extraction activity which eventually leads to shortages and higher prices.  On the other hand, the Chinese economy, wars, oil spills and earthquakes cannot be easily predicted.  As a result, there will be the need for continuous changes in the forecasts to take into account the surprises.
