Multibillion Dollar Projects Are Major Portion of the Site Remediation Market
Of the tens of billions of dollars spent annually on remediation of contaminated
sites, much of the total is generated by multibillion dollar projects. This is
the conclusion reached by the McIlvaine Company which publishes the Site
Remediation Markets Newsletter and custom reports on remediation. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Just in the last month projects totaling over $9 billion have been finalized.
Project Name Participants Activity Amount
($ Billions)
Selafield Areva, Mace and Atkins Nuclear Waste 2.3
Passaic River EPA , Diamond Alkali River Sediment Cleanup 1.7
Anadarko Petroleum at Multiple Sites U.S. EPA Cleanup of Thousands of
Contaminated Sites 5.2
Activity in the U.S. has peaked but remains at a high level. China and a number
of other countries are accelerating their programs. In many countries, a big
incentive is to reclaim land for purposes of new construction. Another major
incentive is to make available more water for human use.
Some activities continue to generate remediation needs. Dredging of rivers and
harbors to compensate for silt deposition, along with dredging for new harbors,
results in sediment which is very often contaminated. This activity alone has
created a billion dollar per year remediation market.
Accidents at nuclear power plants are creating both new and continuing markets.
The expenditures at Fukishima continue at a high rate. It is expected that
remediation will continue for decades.

World Market for Treat, Transport and Test Market Will Exceed $387 Billion By
2015
The world market for air and gas, water and other liquids flow and treatment
equipment and services will exceed $387 billion in 2015 up from $367 billion in
2014. This is the latest forecast in Market Air/Gas/Water/Fluid Treatment and
Control: World Market published by the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
World Treat, Transport Test Market ($ Billions)
Region 2014 Growth Rate 2015
Africa 19 6 20
Americas 99 5 104
Asia 161 6 171
Europe 88 4 92
World 367 5.4 387
Large companies such as Ecolab and Colfax have been expanding in the broader
flow and treatment market. Xylem is in the market and has segmented their
activities into treat, transport and test. McIlvaine has defined this market to
include pumps, valves, compressors, liquid and air filtration equipment,
biological treatment systems, treatment chemicals and all the related monitoring
and control systems to move and purify fluids.
The growth in Asia this year is projected at 6 percent versus only 4 percent in
Europe and 5.4 percent worldwide. This is in real dollars. Inflation is
presently projected at 3.8 percent this year. The aggregate revenues of the
companies participating in this market are anticipated to rise to $402 billion
in 2015. Reported revenues are always in current dollars. So, one must take into
account inflation to fairly compare the forecasts with the actual results.
In general, this market is growing at 1-2 percent faster than GDP. In part this
is due to environmental regulations which add additional stimulus to the treat
segment of the market. Another factor is the switch from conventional natural
gas and oil to nonconventional recovery. The amount of treat, flow and test
investment in a shale oil or shale gas extraction process is considerably
greater than extraction from conventional sources.

Cross-flow Membrane Market to Exceed $11 Billion By 2016
The market for cross-flow membrane components and systems will exceed $11
billion in 2016. This is the latest forecast in McIlvaine RO, UF, MF World
Market. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Cross-flow Membrane Market ($ Millions)
Subject 2016
Total 11,585
Micro Equipment 2,184
Micro Membranes 540
RO Equip 4,479
RO Membranes 1,312
UF Equipment 2,358
UF Membranes 712
The largest segment of the market involves reverse osmosis (RO). The less
efficient ultrafiltration and microfiltration segments are smaller in the
aggregate than the RO portion. Desalination is the largest single application
for RO systems. Another large segment is residential. China with poor quality
drinking water in many locations is a major purchaser of small under the sink RO
systems.
One of the largest applications for both microfiltration and ultrafiltration is
in municipal drinking water plants. These cross-flow systems compete with the
traditional granular media filters. Ultrafiltration systems find use in food
processing. A growing application is in membrane bioreactor systems. Waste is
subjected to biological treatment. Membranes immersed in the treatment tank
purify the treated water. By combining both biological treatment and filtration
in one process, the cost and size of the process is reduced.
There is a multibillion dollar market for replacement modules. RO modules in
desalination systems are replaced approximately every four years. The life
varies from application to application.
