2017 High Performance Cartridge Sales Will Be $4.6 Billion
Total sales of cartridges for liquid filtration in 2017 will be $17 billion.
High performance cartridge sales will be $4.6 billion, whereas sales of general
purpose cartridges will be $12.4 billion. All of the $5 billion of cartridge
sales for residential use will be general purpose. All of the $3.5 billion of
commercial cartridges will be general purpose. By contrast, high performance
cartridge sales in the pharmaceutical industry will exceed $1.6 billion. High
performance cartridge sales for healthcare will exceed $1 billion. These are the
latest forecasts in N024 Cartridge Filters: World Market.

There is a big difference in price and sales approach between high performance
and general purpose cartridges. McIlvaine is using its own definition of high
performance to include:
Unique service
Severe service
Critical service
Unique service is defined as a cartridge which is custom engineered for an
application. The media, size and/or materials for the vessel are varied to meet
a customers need. The extent to which a cartridge is unique can be measured by
how much more a customer is willing to pay for the custom design rather than be
content with an off the shelf alternative. A paint manufacturer may want a
cartridge that is not too efficient on small particles but does remove the large
ones. The reason is that the small particles are the ones providing the color.
So, while with standard cartridges the higher the efficiency the better, this
will not be acceptable in paint filtration.
Severe service is defined as an application where particle adhesion, particle
size, corrosion, erosion, pressure, or temperature is a concern. Purchasers are
willing to pay more for better severe service cartridges because the alternative
is high replacement rates, high maintenance cost and potential disruption to
processes. The refining, chemical and power industries have many severe service
applications.
Critical service is defined by the importance of the cartridge performance. If
safety, health, or quality of the goods manufactured are impacted by cartridge
performance, then it would be critical service. An example would be cartridges
in the semiconductor industry which must remove any particles which would
otherwise cause damage to a computer chip. By contrast, the carbon cartridge in
a refrigerator may deteriorate to where taste is impacted but failure would not
be critical. The food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries utilize cartridges
for food processing and, therefore, performance of the cartridge is critical.
Identification of the high performance cartridge segment is important to
cartridge suppliers. High performance cartridges offer the opportunity for
higher profit margins. They are also sold based on determining the lowest total
cost of ownership. Therefore, the route to market is different than for general
purpose cartridges.

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
residents 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.

Gas Turbine Owners Will Spend $1.3 Billion for Ultrapure Water Systems at New
Gas Turbine Combined Cycle Power Plants
Ultrapure water (UPW) systems are critical to the steam cycle in gas turbine
combined cycle (GTCC) plants. In 2017 more than $1.3 billion will be spent on
UPW systems for new GTCC generators. NAFTA will lead the way with 35 percent of
the purchases. These forecasts were reached through McIlvaine research for N029
Ultrapure Water: World Market and 59EI Gas Turbine and Combined Cycle Supplier
Program.
UPW components for GTCC plants are challenged by the rapid cycling which is
required. Wind and solar are playing an increasing role in power generation but
their operations are not constant. As a result, the GTCC plants are operated to
balance the fluctuating contribution from the other sources. Flow accelerated
corrosion and other problems are being addressed. Operators are being assisted
in dealing with these problems in another McIlvaine service 59D Gas Turbine and
Combined Cycle Decisions.

Granular Media Filter Sales to Exceed $2.4 Billion in 2021
Granular media filters will account for 29 percent of the world liquid
macrofiltration market in 2021. This is the latest forecast in N006 Liquid
Filtration and Media World Markets published by the McIlvaine Company.
Granular media filter functions can be divided into particulate and dissolved
segments. The market for particulate removal in drinking water plants will
expand slower than the total market due to market share loss to cross-flow
membranes. On the other hand, the market for removing dissolved contaminants is
booming.
Perfluorinated compounds, or PFCs, are manmade, fully fluorinated compounds that
are not naturally found in the environment and are used in a range of products
such as fire-fighting foams and coating additives. PFOS and PFOA are the most
commonly produced PFCs.
PFOA and PFOS are persistent and itinerant in the atmosphere and aqueous
environments due to their high chemical stability and low volatility. In their
anionic form, PFCs are water soluble and can easily travel from soil to
groundwater, carrying the contaminants long distances. Toxicological reports
indicate potential developmental, reproductive and systemic effects after oral
exposure, as PFCs accumulate and absorb in the serum, kidney and liver. Because
PFCs are resistant to direct oxidation, photolytic degradation, biodegradation
and air stripping/vapor extraction, their removal is very difficult.
AdEdge, Cabot, Calgon Carbon, Carbon Activated Corp. , CEI Carbon, Evoqua,
Jacobi Carbon, Ovivo, Oxbow and VAF filters are offering PFC removal solutions.
Calgon Carbon demonstrated that granular activated carbon (GAC) is an effective
way to remove PFCs from sources of drinking water. GAC is successful in removal
of harmful compounds in groundwater, including PFOA as well as perfluorobutanoic
acid (PFBA), perfluoropentanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) and
perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA). The spent activated carbon, containing adsorbed
PFCs, can be thermally reactivated, thereby destroying the contaminants and
allowing the activated carbon to be recycled and reused in groundwater treatment
applications. Lab testing and field trials have led to activated carbon systems
being successfully employed to treat groundwater for PFC removal throughout
North America.

Gas Turbine Owners Will Spend $300 Million for Pumps at New Gas Turbine Combined
Cycle Power Plants
Pumps are critical to the steam cycle in gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC)
plants. In 2017 more than $300 million will be spent on pumps for new GTCC
generators. NAFTA will lead the way with 35 percent of the purchases. These
forecasts were reached through McIlvaine research for N019 Pumps World Market
and 59EI Gas Turbine and Combined Cycle Supplier Program
Boiler feedwater pumps for GTCC plants are challenged by the rapid cycling which
is required. Wind and solar are playing an increasing role in power generation
but their operations are not constant. As a result, the GTCC plants are operated
to balance the fluctuating contribution from other sources. Flow accelerated
corrosion and other problems are being addressed. Operators are being assisted
in dealing with these problems in another McIlvaine service 59D Gas Turbine and
