Bi-weekly Webinars Continue with Semiconductor IIot Tomorrow
There is still time to register for our webinar tomorrow, July 19, 2017 at
Weekly IIoT Webinars.
Recorded webinars covering individual industries are part of a program to
forecast the market for IIoT and Remote O&M, but also to initiate a program to
pursue the 550 companies who buy the majority of the IIoT, combust, flow and
treat equipment and services. The webinar tomorrow will briefly cover the
broader IIoT initiative to monitor and control all the semiconductor equipment.
The majority of the time will be spent on the cleanrooms, HVAC, ultrapure water,
wastewater, and air pollution control operations. There will be special focus on
the pumps, valves, filters, scrubbers, treatment chemicals and sensors.
IIoT will be the catalyst of change in the route to market for component
suppliers. When every filter and valve is continuously monitored and its
performance compared to competitive components in operation in the system, a new
basis for purchasing decisions is created.
Most suppliers already have separate sales efforts for the large potential
purchasers. Since 60 percent of the products will be purchased by just 555
companies, suppliers can justify the prioritization of sales to this group.
McIlvaine has a program to identify the companies, projects, people, and the
ways not only to reach them, but to convince them.
N064 Air/Gas/Water/Fluid Treatment and Control: World Market
analyses the market for flow control and treatment at a high level. Since this
market is now being transformed by IIoT, this service is now available as part
of
N031 Industrial IOT and Remote O&M.
Specific forecasts for purchases by the 555 companies of each product or service
are now included in the McIlvaine market report
Markets.
The plants and projects for the 555 companies are reported in
Databases
Contacts at those 550 plants are included in several ways including several

A customized program can be provided which not only provides interconnection
between supplier and purchaser, but interconnection to other influencers and
interconnection among company employees.

The biggest expenditures will be made for boiler feedwater, cooling, FGD, and
wastewater. Chinese operators are investing in zero liquid discharge. This
process requires pumps in the stages preliminary to evaporation. Due to the lack
of water in arid Chinese areas, the plants are selecting dry cooling which does
not require pumps. Most new plants use ultra-supercritical technology. This
requires more expensive pumps to develop the high pressures.
Power plants are accelerating the IIoT transformation. Remote monitoring and
control will be common. Some pump companies are packaging pumps with software to
optimize operation. This promises to substantially increase the revenue
opportunity.

World Market
The sales of valves to the chemical industry in 2016 totaled $7 billion. The top
four chemical companies valve purchases totaled $386 million.
Number 1, BASF is the largest chemical producing company in the world with 2016
valve purchases of $126 million. The German company, headquartered in
Ludwigshafen, Germany is focused on industry grade chemicals used in the
automotive, construction, and pharmaceutical industries. The company is
investing heavily in Industry 4.0. As a result, it will be able to monitor the
valve performance at all its plants around the world. This will facilitate
determination of the valves and systems which provide the lowest total cost of
ownership. It has a system for vendor interaction and strategic procurement
powered by SAP Ariba. It is creating a center for expertise in Ludwigshafen
which guides the component choice at their plants around the world.
The magnitude of this
effort was chronicled in three articles in
Valve World last year.
Number 2, Dow - When the merger is final Dow/Dupont will be the largest chemical
company in the world with valve purchases of close to $140 million. Dow Chemical
and DuPont said their merger's end date was being pushed back but added it was
still on track as DuPont moved forward with plans to divest assets, a condition
of European Union
approval for the deal.
The companies now expect the deal to close in August 2017, after being delayed
by intense regulatory scrutiny. When the deal was first announced in December
2015, it was expected to close in the first half of 2016.
Number 3, Sinopec has total yearly valve purchases of close to $540 million.
However less than $91 million is generated in the chemical industry. The most
downstream of China's big three energy companies (alongside CNPC and CNOOC)
Sinopec is more a producer of petrochemicals, fuels, and lubricants than an
exploration and production company. It is the world's largest purchaser of flow
and treat equipment services.
In March 2017 Sinopec paid almost $1 billion for a 75 percent stake in Chevron
Corp's South African assets and its subsidiary in Botswana to secure its first
major refinery in Africa. Sinopec is Asia's largest oil refiner. The new assets
include a 100,000 barrel-per-day oil refinery in Cape Town, a lubricants plant
in Durban as well as 820 petrol stations and other oil storage facilities.
Sinopec Group's key business activities include:
industrial investment and investment management; the exploration,
production, storage and transportation (including pipeline transportation),
marketing and comprehensive utilization of oil and natural gas; the production,
marketing, storage and transportation of coal; oil refining; the storage,
transportation, wholesale and retail of oil products; the production, marketing,
storage, transportation of petrochemicals, natural gas chemicals, coal chemicals
and other chemical products; the exploration, design, consulting, construction
and installation of petroleum and petrochemical engineering projects.
Number 4, SABIC (also known as the Saudi Arabia Basic Industries Corporation) is
a chemical producing company in Saudi Arabia and is the largest company in the
Middle East. Valve purchases in 2016 were $70 million.
The company is currently the largest producer of polycarbonate and granular urea
and is the second largest producer of ethylene glycol in the world.
SABIC was founded by the Saudi royal family in 1976 as an oil refinery. The
creation of the company spurred the growth of the neighboring area transforming
Yanbu from a fishing village to what is now one of the biggest industrial cities
in the world.
The top 20 valve companies purchased 14.5 percent of the world's chemical valves
in 2016.

For the large international valve suppliers these 200 companies represent a big
market and one less likely to be made unattractive by local competition. The
number of decision makers at these companies is small enough that most sales
activity can be with direct employees and not agents.
Valve companies can address the new marketing environment with the following
initiatives:
The new marketing environment for valves in the chemical industry offers big
opportunities for those valve companies who best anticipate the rapid changes
taking place.
