Lots of New Developments in $11.2 Billion World Market for Fabric Filters and
Bags
The market for bags will grow 6 percent this year to reach $2.9 billion in 2014.
The market for fabric filter systems will grow 4.4 percent to reach $8.9 billion
next year. These are the conclusions reached in World Fabric Filter and Element
Market published by the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Fabric Filters and Bags Market $ Millions
Subject 2013 2014
Bags 2,706 2,866
Equipment 3,869 4,041
Media 1,524 1,617
Systems 8,512 8,890
The lower growth rate for systems is a function of the proportion of revenues in
developing countries. The system revenues per cfm (unit of gas volume) are lower
in these countries. The bag revenues are positively impacted by the move to
membrane laminates. This media is more efficient, but is also more expensive.
There are a number of major changes in the industry in addition to the
introduction of new materials. A number of Chinese bag makers are now making a
global presence. There is also movement within China to increase the purchase of
fabric filters as opposed to precipitators in the power and certain other
industries.
The industry is becoming internationalized on a continuing basis. Within the
last twelve months, Nederman purchased Mikropul, Pneumafil and Menardi. CECO
purchased Met-Pro. Nederman has a European base and is strong in small fabric
filters. Mikropul was the inventor of the pulse jet filter and has worldwide
presence in the process industries. CECO has acquired Flexkleen as part of the
Met-Pro acquisition. This will supplement its activities through its Fisher
Klosterman subsidiary. Donaldson continues to gain market share in Asia.
Media suppliers are very international. Roll goods are being manufactured by the
larger media suppliers in several international locations. Many media suppliers
have successful manufacturing operations in Asia.
New applications are expanding the market as well. The need to remove mercury
has resulted in combinations of activated carbon injection followed by fabric
filters. This requirement is going to expand the revenues of filter suppliers in
the U.S. over the next few years. W. L. Gore has a unique solution to the
mercury problem. The company has developed a medium which can be inserted after
the scrubber. It collects and retains mercury.
The medium is not cleanable, but the amount of mercury in a typical application
is only 2-100 lbs/yr. So the medium will have a life of several years.

Fuel Cost and Environmental Regulations are Causing Changes in Industrial Boiler
Design and Operation
There are many new industrial boilers being constructed in developing countries.
Those in existence in developed countries are being upgraded in accordance with
new environmental regulations and the availability of alternative fuels. A third
development is the more efficient capture of the energy produced. These are the
conclusions reached in Industrial Boilers. This is one of a number of segments
of the McIlvaine service Industrial Emitters. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
The increasingly stringent regulations are creating a number of changes. China
has shut down thousands of small coal-fired boilers due to their SO2, NOx, and
particulate emissions.
In the next few months, operators of U.S. industrial boilers will have to decide
whether to gamble on low gas prices for the next two decades or add air
pollution control equipment to their existing systems. There are more than
10,000 boilers listed in the McIlvaine Industrial Emitters database and project
tracking system. Less than 2,000 will fall under the criteria for action set up
by the new Industrial Boiler MACT rule. Of these 2,000 units, only 500 units
will have to make major capital expenditures. These plants will have to decide
whether to invest the funds to meet the new regulations or switch to natural gas
or even retire the units and buy electricity. The Industrial Emitters program is
tracking these decisions as they happen.
Fuel cost and availability is a major cause of change throughout the world.
Europe has regulations on coal burning which require operators to also burn
biomass. As a result, European operators are paying as much as $100 /ton for
wood pellets from the U.S. and agricultural waste from South Asia. At the same
time that natural gas has become economically attractive in the U.S., it has
become unattractive in much of Europe. Recently, waste-to-energy plants in
Europe have started exploring the potential of importing treated garbage which
is labelled Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) from the Americas and elsewhere.
Most industrial boiler installations provide steam for industrial processes.
Large chemical plants and refineries also generate their own electricity. Their
remains untapped potential to integrate power generation, process steam and
supply of low quality steam for other applications. District heating is an
example of the way to extract the most energy from the fuel. In a typical
fossil-fired boiler, there is a cooling tower to condense the low pressure
steam. The large plume visible from these plants is testimony to the very large
amount of heat being lost. Several new processes can be integrated into
industrial complexes. One is the production of ethanol. The low pressure steam
from power generation can be utilized with major cost savings. One of the
fastest growing industries is Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAI). The
production of fish in carefully temperature and oxygen controlled tanks is
proving to be less costly than the traditional ponds. They can be located at
industrial facilities and be integrated with power production.
In addition to the cost benefits of cogeneration, there is the substantial
reduction in greenhouse gases. If an ethanol or RAI plant does not have to be
equipped with a boiler, there is a very substantial reduction in potential CO2
emissions.
