Top Three Air and Water Monitoring Companies Have 13% Market Share, But Only
6% in Asia
Asia is the largest market for air and water monitoring equipment. The three
largest players have only a 6 percent share of this market even though their
world share is over 13 percent. This is the conclusion reached in the McIlvaine
Air & Water Pollution Monitoring World. (www.mcilvainecompany.com) In 2012, the
world air and water monitoring revenues were just under $21 billion. Forty-four
percent of the total was in Asia.

In 2012, the top three air and water monitoring suppliers generated revenue of
$2.8 billion or 13 percent of the world total. However, their Asian revenues
were only $578 million or 6 percent of the Asian market.

All three companies, along with most of the international suppliers, are
targeting the Asian market for major growth. Thermo Fisher has established its
main air pollution research center in China and has made substantial investment
in the region. Because Asian countries tend to adopt international standards,
there is an advantage for those suppliers who have been accredited in the U.S.
or Europe. Emerson and Thermo Fisher are U.S. based and Endress + Hauser is a
European company. These suppliers must compete against international suppliers
home based in the developed Asian countries. Yokogawa and Horiba are major
players in the international market.

The international companies must also compete with rapidly growing domestic
suppliers in China who are likely to expand beyond their own borders.

Three Largest Valve Companies have only 5.2 Percent of the Asian Valve Market
The three largest valve companies (Pentair, Emerson and Flowserve) have captured
10 percent of the world industrial valve market but have only a 5.2 percent
share of the Asian market. This is the conclusion reached in Industrial Valves:
World Markets published by the McIlvaine Company www.mcilvainecompany.com. The
total world market last year was over $53 billion. Asia accounted for 42 percent
of the market.

Asia 22,598 42
Europe 13,035 25
Total 53,436 100
* The top three valve companies are U.S. based. Their penetration of the Asian
market has been only half what it has been in other markets. Asian sales range
from 20 to 22 percent of total sales for the individual companies.

Pentair 475 22% 2.1
Emerson 437 25% 1.9
Total for Three Largest Valve Companies 1,192 22% 5.2
The international valve companies see this lack of Asian penetration as a growth
opportunity. They are building manufacturing facilities in Asia and striving to
reach the same penetration level as in other regions. There is another equally
compelling argument that this lack of strength in Asia opens the door to more
international competition. Other suppliers both Asian and non-Asian have the
opportunity to build a base in Asia which will allow them to compete more
effectively in the rest of the world. Chinese manufacturers are moving up the
quality chain and even supplying nuclear grade valves.
More than 80 percent of the new coal-fired power plants will be built in Asia
over the next few years. The majority will be of the supercritical design which
requires valves to function under higher temperatures and pressures. The
successful valve suppliers will be able to use this expertise as supercritical
boilers are built elsewhere in the world. China is a leader in coal to chemicals
and coal to gasoline. Valve requirements for this application are challenging.
This is another opportunity for competitors. The many new chemical plants under
construction in Asia offer similar opportunities.

Troubleshooting an Ion Exchange Unit Mixed Bed
Don Downey, Purolite
In the water treatment plant the Ion exchange mixed units can be your best
friend or worst enemy. Mixed bed can provide very high quality water, for days,
weeks or even months without regeneration. This means less hand on by operations
allowing more time for other task. Compared to normal demin trains that could
regenerate up to twice/day, operators do not retain the day to day routine of
regenerating a mixed bed can become unfamiliar with how to trouble shoot
problem. When a mixed bed unit does not work properly – it could take months or
even years to get it back into proper operation. This paper will discuss some of
the author’s +35 years of experience with trouble shoot and repairing various
mixed bed system in North America. It will cover cases involving resin problems,
mechanical failure inside the vessels and changes in feed water quality
Evaluating the Use of Condensate Polishers: Economic and Operational
Considerations
Colleen M. Layman, HDR Engineering Inc
Today’s power plant steam-water cycles are subjected to more strenuous chemistry
challenges than ever. Guidelines developed by EPRI, ASME, VGB and other
organizations recommend stricter control of condensate, feedwater, and boiler/HRSG
operating chemistry limits to prevent corrosion and deposition in the
steam/water cycle. The power delivery market requires many units, including some
that were not initially designed for such, to operate on a cycling basis and
often also necessitate quick startup times. Water management practices have
driven operators to cool the turbine exhaust steam with recycled water sources
or increase cycles of concentration in fresh water towers. Factors such as these
can make condensate polishers valuable tools in power generating facilities
today. However, condensate polishers can be costly to install. They incur
significant operating and maintenance costs, generate a wastewater stream which
must be treated and disposed of, and require trained staff to maintain. The
question of “to polish or not to polish” can be a complicated and difficult one.
This paper will provide an overview of condensate polishing technologies and
configurations, including the pros and cons associated with each technology and
configuration. It will also provide a risk-based cost-benefit analysis to assist
owners/operators in determining whether they should consider implementing
condensate polishing at a new or existing facility. The paper will address
situations in which each of the various types of polishers are best suited for
application and discuss basic criteria for proper polisher technology selection
and implementation at a power generating facility.
Manganese-Induced Pitting of Stainless Steel Piping and Heat Exchanger Tubing
George J. Licina, Structural Integrity Associates
Many power plant heat exchangers and piping systems have experienced severe
degradation due to pitting beneath manganese-rich deposits. Such failures
occurred in heat exchangers tubed with copper based alloys and especially with
stainless steels. Such failures continue today. Plants that have been plagued
with this problem have generally been confounded by it. Often, the problem is
incorrectly diagnosed as microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), based
upon the morphology of the pits, however, the same tunneling pit morphology that
is often associated with MIC of stainless steel can be produced when manganese
rich deposits contact chlorinated water, whether bacteria are present or not. As
such, chlorination or increased chlorination to address a supposed MIC problem
will simply exacerbate situations where manganese-induced pitting by producing
an even more aggressive underdeposit environment. This paper will provide an
overview of manganese-induced pitting, discuss the operative mechanisms, and
provide recommendations for diagnosis and control.
Photosynthesis-Inhibiting Biocide Solves Algae Fouling Problems in Recirculating
Water Systems
Jeffrey Kramer, BWA Water Additives
Cooling tower systems offer the ideal conditions for microbiological fouling:
warm heat transfer surfaces, exposed to the open air, complete with sunlight.
Algae growth can accumulate on wet cooling system surfaces, particularly during
the prime cooling season, thereby impeding heat transfer, leading to increased
energy consumption. Algae growth can also cause cooling tower surfaces to be
slippery, creating a work safety hazard. Even in closed loop systems where
treated sanitary wastewaters and recirculating cooling water ponds are utilized
to remove and dissipate unwanted heat from heat exchangers and other plant
processes, it can be challenging to control algae. Many common industrial
biocides applied do not offer adequate protection against algae, which is
difficult to remove, particularly if low flow conditions exist in parts of the
distribution system. One specialty algaecide, terbuthylazine (TBZ), has been
particularly successful at resolving algae issues in power plant cooling towers
and holding ponds due to its ability to inhibit photosynthesis. This paper will
examine a field application of TBZ and the resulting impact on cooling system
operations.
Novel Biocide Program Maintains Condenser Cleanliness for Power Plant
Chris Baron, Ashland Water Technologies
A zero liquid discharge power plant in New England had historically been
challenged with maintaining condenser cleanliness and maximum power production
as an apparent result of high iron and manganese in the cooling tower make-up.
Additionally, the cooling tower operated at 40 cycles of concentration,
exceeding saturation indices. Under these operating conditions, the plant had
been shutting down 2 to 3 times per year to clean the condenser with significant
lost efficiency in between and during cleaning cycles. Past treatment focused on
inorganic oversaturation of silica, iron, and calcium. Ashland sought to
understand the fouling mechanism through the use of the OnGuard™ 2-plus
analyzer, a proprietary monitoring and control system. This technology
accurately simulates the steady state conditions in plant heat exchangers while
revealing differentiation among various causes of fouling (e.g., sedimentation,
scaling, microbiological, etc.). This diagnostic tool was essential in
validating the response to the treatment program changes before they could
impact plant efficiency. As a result, it was discovered that fouling rates were
dependent on Oxidation-Reduction-Potential (ORP) and not mineral saturation.
Although traditional bio-assay slides suggested good bacterial control, the
OnGuard 2-plus analyzer results indicated that the fouling mechanism was
biological in nature. Based on this information, Ashland recommended a new
biocide, Biosperse™ XD3899 Microbiocide. The active, Bromide-Activated
Chloramine (BAC), performs at much lower ORP relative to traditional strong
oxidizers and not only stabilized, but effectively reversed the established
condenser fouling. This paper will present data correlating the optimization of
the BAC treatment program with a reduction in fouling. The plant is now setting
power generating records and shows no indications of condenser fouling after six
months.
Optimization and Successful Chemical Cleaning of a Supercritical Boiler
Christopher Hegger, Ameren Missouri
Since changing boiler chemistries to oxygenated treatment in the mid-90's, the
once through supercritical boilers at Ameren's Sioux Energy Center have
struggled with obtaining adequate boiler chemical cleans. This paper describes
the procedural and equipment modifications made to the boiler chemical cleaning
process, which lead to a successful clean in 2012.
Cooling Water Microbial Control Impacts Overall Plant Performance
Kevin Boudreaux, Nalco Power ITC
A good cooling water treatment programs consists of many different components.
Of these, microbial inhibition presents a special challenge because of the
variability in makeup water sources, plant processes, and discharge permits.
These struggles typically manifest themselves as an overall degradation in plant
performance; mainly heat rate and loss of capacity. Regardless of the
measurement used to determine the success or failure of a water treatment
program, failure to maintain the proper microbial inhibition program will result
in a significant financial and environmental impact. AEP Conesville, in
Conesville, Ohio, is a conventional, coal fired, 1695MW plant. The plant is
composed of six units, three of which are retired. The remaining three units
were commissioned between 1973 and 1978. As with many units commissioned during
this time period, the chemical feed systems are both dated and unreliable. With
this deterioration in reliability, maintaining the proper biocide program has
become onerous. The degradation in condenser performance is directly related to
poor microbial inhibition. This paper discusses how the plant designed and
implemented a trial to determine the costs and effects of improved microbial
inhibition practices. Results of the trial, as well as how the results were used
to justify the costs for new feed equipment, will also be discussed.
Asian Ultrapure Water Sales to Exceed $3 Billion in 2015
In the rapidly growing Asian market, sales of ultrapure water systems and
consumables will exceed $3 billion for the first time ever in 2015. This is the
conclusion reached in the McIlvaine online report Ultrapure Water World Markets.
Industry Totals ($ Thousands)
Industry 2015
Coal-Fired Power 1,044,935
Electronics 993,932
Flat Panel 662,483
Gas Turbines 33,210
Industrial Power 172,169
Other Industries 79,009
Pharmaceutical 138,426
Asia is building more new coal-fired power plants than the rest of the world
combined. The majority of these power plants are of the ultrasupercritical
design. These power plants need the highest purity boiler feedwater. Contrary to
public perception, the Chinese fleet is operating more efficiently than the U.S.
counterpart. The reason being that most of the Chinese plants have been built
since 2000. By contrast, the average coal-fired power plant in the U.S. is more
than forty years old. Asia has been quick to embrace newer technologies such as
electrodeionization (EDI) as a substitute for ion exchange.
Asia is proceeding with come nuclear power plants. These power plants require
the highest quality water. Combined cycle gas turbine plants also require high
quality water but their needs per megawatt are less than half of that of a
coal-fired power plant.
Over 50 percent of the market is attributable to the electronics and flat panel
segment. Asia has more electronics facilities using ultrapure water than the
other continents combined. One of the bigger growth segments in China has been
photovoltaic cells for the solar industry. These plants do require ultrapure
water although not as pure as required for semiconductor manufacture.
The one application where Asia does not dominate is pharmaceuticals. Water for
injection (WFI) needs to be ultrapure because it is mixed with substances which
are then injected into humans. The bulk of the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals
is still in the U.S. and Europe.
Special instrumentation which can measure dissolved oxygen and other
constituents in parts per billion are required in ultrapure water systems. There
are a series of filtration steps ending in treatment by reverse osmosis. Even
after the water is ultrapure there is a concern about re-contamination in pumps
and piping. Consequently, in a semiconductor plant, the water leaving the RO
system passes through piping and then into an end point membrane cartridge
filter before being used to wash the wafer.
