Desalination System Investment to Exceed $14 Billon/yr. over the Next Five Years

In the next five years, suppliers of thermal and membrane desalination systems will sell systems valued at $73.5 billion of which $21 billion will be spent on brackish water systems and $52.5 billion for seawater systems.  This is the conclusion reached by the McIlvaine Company by aggregating forecasts appearing in its cross-flow membrane, pump, valve and filtration reports.

 

The brackish water forecast is less precise than the seawater forecast due to the definition of the term “brackish.”  This can include total dissolved solids content as low as 500 ppm to as high as 2000 ppm. 

The potential for desalination is very high.  In 2015 desalination equaled only 2.3 percent of water delivered by municipalities.  This percentage will climb to 3 percent in 2020.  However, since desalination is utilized by industry and commerce, the desalination capacity should be compared to all freshwater withdrawal.  Power plants withdraw ten times more water than municipal drinking water plants.  Power plants desalinate only a minuscule fraction of their total withdrawal. So the growth potential in power and other industries is very large.  China has issued regulations requiring power plants with seawater access to desalinate rather than extract fresh water. 

A significant portion of the seawater desalination investment will be for thermal plants but membrane technology will continue to gain market share.  There are promising new technologies such as electrochemical desalination and forward osmosis which promise higher energy efficiency, greater liquid recovery and lower costs of ownership.

The future of desalination depends on the sustainability criteria which will be used to justify the investment.  The fact that the harm is global but the value local creates different evaluations.  The cost of CO2 according to some EPA analyses is $50 ton. However, CO2 emitted in San Diego does not harm local residents any more than it does citizens of the EU.  On the other hand, desalinated water in San Diego benefits local residents exclusively.  The resident in the Colorado River Delta will be more enthusiastic about a San Diego desalination investment than any other group.  McIlvaine has developed Sustainability Universal Rating System to rationalize these different perspectives.

A free webinar to discuss the market will be held on Thursday, July 14, 2016.

Acid Gas Removal needs will boost the 2020 Fabric Filter Market by 2020

The market for fabric filter systems in 2020 will be $8 billion. Seventy-five percent of the applications will be just for particulate removal but 25 percent will be for acid gas removal or for a combination of particulate and acid gas removal. Fabric filters will take market share away from electrostatic precipitators because of both higher particulate and acid gas removal abilities.

The coal-fired power industry has remained loyal to the electrostatic precipitator until recently when regulations on SO2 and fine particles forced consideration of alternatives.  Reverse air cleaned fabric filters were the first to be proven successful in power plant applications. However, their use in acid gas removal is limited.  The high solids content of the combination of flyash and sodium or calcium sulfate is a challenge for this type of cleaning mechanism but not for pulse jets. The pulse jet cleaned bag can easily handle the high solids content.  China, Italy, the U.S. and South Africa are among the countries where power plants have invested heavily in fabric filters for multiple pollutant removal.

Mercury control regulations in the U.S. have resulted in the increased use of fabric filters with activated carbon injection for mercury capture by power plants.  China and the EU are considering regulations which are similarly stringent. Many waste incineration plants in countries throughout the world already employ fabric filters for dust, mercury and acid gas removal.

The use of fabric filters for acid gas control requires a review of bag cleaning technology.  The industry has adopted what in accounting terms would be LIFO rather than FIFO.  The goal has been to retain a base cake of the particles which are first in.  The particles which are last in are then pulsed off.  Efficiency and bag life are thus enhanced. However, the opposite is true when calcium oxide is employed. The particles first in have already reacted to form sulfates.  They need to be removed.  Reaction can then take place with the last in unreacted calcium particles. McIlvaine believes that considerable benefits will be achieved by fully investigating the LIFO options.
