50 Companies Buy Half the Electrostatic Precipitator Systems and Parts
Sales of electrostatic precipitator (ESP) systems and repair parts for
coal-fired power plants will reach $7 billion in 2016. This represents 70
percent of the ESP purchases by stationary sources. Seven companies will account
for 44 percent of the purchases by coal-fired power plants and 31 percent of the
purchases by all stationary sources.

The five largest Chinese suppliers are among the top seven ESP system operators
in the world. These seven companies will buy 31 percent of the ESP products in
2016. The next 10 companies, most of whom are U.S.-based, will account for 12
percent of the ESP purchases by power plants and 8 percent of all the ESP
purchases by stationary sources.
ESP owners are facing substantial investments to upgrade or replace ESPs to meet
new emission limits. These limits ratchet down the allowable emissions.
Emissions are measured not only over long periods, but typically each hour. This
means that electrodes, rappers and other parts which continue to operate but
cause emission increases over time now have to be replaced more often.
The concentration of ESP purchases by this small group of companies means that
suppliers can sell directly throughout the world. There are efficiency,
reliability and other unique features which allow suppliers to obtain higher
prices and margins. McIlvaine has developed a program to help suppliers focus on
the large purchasers. Detailed Forecasting of Markets, Prospects and Projects.

$7.4 Billion Air Filter Market Next Year
Sales of air filters for HVAC in residences, industry, commercial and government
facilities will exceed $7.4 billion in 2016. This is the conclusion of the
McIlvaine Company in the continually updated N022 Air Filtration and
Purification World Market.
Electronic filters are the smallest segment. They are used in more expensive
residential and commercial buildings. The low efficiency (G1-4) filters are used
as pre-filters as well as final filters. However, home owners have been
upgrading to the more efficient M5-6 filters. In China there is increasing
penetration for the high efficiency H10-U17 filters due to the very high levels
of pollution in the ambient air.
Gas turbine power plants filter large quantities of ambient air used to provide
the mass which drives the turbine. Owners have found that upgrading to the
H10-U17 high efficiency filters reduces turbine maintenance and justifies costs
several times those of less efficient filters.
There is increasing concern regarding volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Plastic
furniture and utensils can emit low quantities of VOCs. Due to the relatively
closed environments in most buildings, the concentration can exceed healthy
levels. Gas phase filters are used to remove these VOCs. Activated carbon
particles can be attached to the particulate filter media for removing modest
amounts of VOCs. For heavier concentrations, a separate carbon bed adsorber is
selected.
The growing wealth and ambient pollution in Asia will combine to provide
substantial growth in air filtration sales over the next decade. New technical
developments in membranes, nanofibers and adsorbents present high margin
opportunities for suppliers.
