Forecasts for Individual Purchasers will be provided in the Pulp and Paper IIoT
& Remote O&M Webinar Wednesday
The pulp and Paper IIoT and Remote O&M webinar on August 23 will show forecasts
of guide, control and measure revenues. In 2018 the pulp and paper industry will
spend an estimated $1.1 billion for guide, control, and measure products and
services. This is the latest forecast in IIoT and Remote O&M published by the
McIlvaine Company. The "guide" category includes automation consulting, software
and services which will generate revenues of $330 million. Control which
includes automation products will result in purchases of $550 million. $220
million will be spent on measurement including analysers.
Forecasts are being provided for the top 50 pulp and paper companies. For
example, IP will spend $18 million for software, and consulting and other
services for IT. It will spend $30 million for controls and $12 million for
analysers and measurement devices.
The performance of components has the most impact on process management success.
Many suppliers of treatment chemicals, fitters, pumps, valves and other
components make an important contribution to the "guide" segment. Examples of
the leading "guide" initiatives of component suppliers will fill up much of the
webinar. To register for this webinar click on Weekly IIoT Webinars.
Renewable Energy IIoT and Remote O&M Webinar moved to September 13
McIlvaine tracks every wind, solar, biomass and hydro project. Technology
advancements such as combined heat and power plus the use of CO2 for indoor
agriculture are analysed. This industry knowledge will be used as a basis to
chart the future of IIoT and Remote O&M. Progress is rapid. Duke formerly had
remote O&M systems provided by multiple wind turbine suppliers. All of this data
is now analysed in one open platform cloud system. Purchases of guide, control
and measurement products by the top 70 power companies will also be discussed.
Remote monitoring and maintenance of wind turbines is well advanced and provides
a template for similar initiatives for other products. The diagnostic center of
Siemens Wind Power Services in Brande, Denmark collects and evaluates all the
operating data from more than 7,500 Siemens wind turbines all over the world.
Data is collected by the SCADA and Turbine Condition Monitoring (TCM) systems
from Siemens. Whereas the SCADA system collects the turbines' electronic and
mechanical data as well as information about the weather and power grids, TCM is
a vibration recognition system. Each wind turbine nacelle contains up to nine
sensors that measure the vibrations of the turbines' key components: the
transmission case, the generator, and the main shaft bearing at the rotor
blades. All Siemens wind turbines with an output of over two megawatts are
equipped with TCM, which monitors them around the clock all year round.
Siemens engineers can remotely switch off the affected wind turbine and send
someone for repair work. Remote diagnostics is especially important for dealing
with faults that develop slowly over time. In some cases, Siemens engineers can
detect defective main shaft bearings a whole year before they must be replaced.
Thus, the experts from Siemens can anticipate damage before it makes itself
felt. The center measures more than 2,500 anomalies every week. The 100 analysts
at the facility investigate these error messages and transmit more than 100
early warnings to the service technicians every week. If a case is serious, the
technicians go directly to the affected wind turbine to take care of the matter
after the center in Brande has provided them all the information about the
turbine and its operating history. To register for this webinar click on Weekly
IIoT Webinars.
550 Companies will spend $5.5 Billion for Macrofiltration Next Year
550 companies will spend $4 billion for macrofiltration equipment and $1.5
billion for cloths and belts in 2018. This group will purchase more than 50
percent of the $9.5 billion total purchased by all companies. McIlvaine has a
number of market reports on filtration. The macrofiltration segment includes
filtration of larger particles from liquids. The specific products are filter
presses, belt filters, belt filter presses, drum filters, bag filters and
granular media filters.
Total Macrofiltration Hardware Purchases 2018
$millions
Industry 2018
Total 7,303
Chemical 789
Food 350
Metals 394
Mining 890
Other Industries 945
Pharmaceutical 405
Power 448
Pulp & Paper 155
Wastewater 1,041
Water 1,882
The forecasts by industry and product for all purchasers as well as individual
forecasts for the top 550 companies are included in
N006 Liquid Filtration and Media World Markets.
Here is an example of the forecasts for five food manufacturing companies. The
food segment represents only 5 percent of the total market. Food garners a
higher percentage for filter presses but a lower percentage for granular media
filters.
The municipal water segment includes substantial purchases of granular media
filters.
The forecasts for the 550 individual purchasers indicate their use by continent.
However, purchasing is becoming more centralized. The trend toward IIoT and
Remote O&M is allowing corporations to track performance of filters in all their
plants and use data analytics to evaluate performance. This important
development is analyzed in N031 Industrial IoT and Remote O&M.

Liquid, Powder and Gas Analyzer Market Forecasts for 550 Purchasers
In 2018 the pulp and paper industry will spend $220 million for analysers to
measure gases, liquids and powders, (Including chips and fibers). These are
instruments in continuous service or for periodic use to analyse processes.
The total market for these analysers for all industries will be over $4 billion
in 2018. Forecasts by industry and individually for
550 of the largest purchasers are included in N031 Industrial IoT and Remote O&M
The forecasts for each of the 550 companies include segmentation by type of
medium (liquids, gases, powders). Further segmentation is by use. Pressure,
flow, and temperature are segmented from contaminant and constituent analysis.
The analyzer suppliers are boosting revenues by including features to more
accurately measure and communicate those measurements to remote monitoring
centers. Companies such as Yokogawa, ABB, and Emerson manufacture both the
instruments and process management systems. This gives them advantages in the
new IIoT shaped world.
Other large suppliers are pursuing different strategies. Hach division of
Danaher has a good position in water measuring analyzers. Their Chemtreat
division supplies treatment chemicals while the Pall division supplies reverse
osmosis units. This combined expertise allows measurement of membrane fouling
and addition of chemicals to most efficiently operate the processes.
Other instrument suppliers are aligning themselves with process management
system suppliers. Endress + Hauser is employing this strategy.
