Decisive Validation Is the Route to Better Decision Making In the Developing World
It is easy to buy the lowest cost product. It is very challenging to select the best product with the lowest life cycle cost. The buyer has to evaluate supplier claims. This is difficult and made even more difficult in developing countries where there are language problems and lack of experience.
There has been no organized system to help the buyer make the necessary evaluations. In contrast, the buyer can be assured that the supplier will adhere to quality management standards in the manufacture of the product through ISO 9000 and other ISO standards.
Decisive Validation is a process which will make it easy for the buyer to make the best purchasing choices. It involves a whole system with a decisive classification sequence. At each step along the way there is a decisive classification of the options and validation that the supplier product is the right choice.
An example of purchasing options for NOx reduction is displayed in the McIlvaine Global Decisions Orchard
DeNOx Decisively Classified Options for Coal, Cement, Incineration.In addition to the conventional SCR and SNCR, there are three other options presented including ozone injection, hydrogen peroxide injection and the use of a catalytic filter. It is shown that the disadvantages of the chemicals are the operating cost, whereas, the disadvantage of the catalytic filter is lack of experience.
Each application is unique. In the case of the chemicals, it is necessary to show that in a specific application the cost of the chemicals will be more than offset by the lower capital cost. In the case of the catalytic filter, there is the need to show that there is ample commercial experience to satisfy the purchaser.
Decisive Validation with independent third party analysis using niche experts is the way to provide convincing evidence.
Niche Expert SystemAn additional challenge is to communicate the validation results to the purchaser. If his native language is Chinese, then the essence of the results along with the decisions sequence need to be provided in Chinese. The Global Decisions Orchard is a mechanism to make these results known.

Validation costs can range widely. However, when the benefits of validation are compared to those for conventional sales efforts it is clear that validation should be a major undertaking. One example of the benefits of validation is the white paper on use of single use vs. reusable surgical gowns.

Single Use Surgical Apparel·
Hospitals were leaning toward reusable gowns with the belief that they were greener. An extensive analysis showed that the water use and contamination aspects of reusables outweighed the greenhouse gases resulting from single use gown manufacture.

Knowledge Flow and Translation from China Rather than to It
In case you are of the impression that the Chinese desperately need valuable information which is in English and needs to be translated, whereas there is not much valuable information in Chinese which needs to be translated to English, then it is time to reflect.
A number of International industrial and drug companies now have research centers in China, so people whose first language is Chinese are doing much basic research. Most Chinese engineers can read English, whereas, few non-Chinese engineers can read Chinese.
The most modern industrial plants are being built in China. The U.S. has little supercritical boiler experience compared to China. The most active FGD supplier in China started up 25 new systems last year totaling nearly 13,000 MW.

There is a great deal of good published information in Chinese. Government statistics show the above market share data for FGD. There is similar information on DeNOx. Elsewhere in the world McIlvaine is compiling market share data through its own efforts, but in China much of this data is available. Therefore, McIlvaine is finding that there is as much need to translate Chinese into English as the reverse.
