Air and water monitoring revenues include sales of laboratory, continuous and portable instruments and systems. These include process gases and liquids as well as exhaust gases and liquid waste streams. The values reported include physical properties such as flow and temperature as well as chemical constituents such as ammonia or cadmium.
Power is the largest industrial user of air and water monitoring equipment. These plants extract more water than any other industry and discharge more gases to the atmosphere than all the other industries combined. Process gas instrumentation includes measurement of oxygen, carbon monoxide, temperature and flow. It also includes related measurements such as fuel flow.
Laboratory equipment is also included. Often a solid e.g. filter catch is measured to determine the constituents in the air or gas. Where the analysis of the raw material is necessary for pollution control purposes, this is also included. Many regulations affecting pollution control in coal-fired power plants require measuring the sulfur or mercury in the coal being burned. In the cement industry, the metals are measured in the limestone feed as well as in the stack gas.
The power industry in Asia is investing more than the rest of the world combined in boosting electrical capacity. Asia also leads in the expansion of municipal water and wastewater. Municipalities in Asia will spend $1.2 billion for air and water instrumentation next year. Most will be for water quality. However, odor control is a big problem and will require a significant investment in portable test equipment.
The trend is away from laboratory testing and towards continuous monitoring. Municipalities presently have large investments in laboratories and considerable operating expense devoted to periodic sampling. This will be sharply reduced as these plants invest in systems which will continuously monitor and control the processes.

Large Treatment and Flow Control Companies Expect to Grow 5.2 Percent in 2013
Eighty major companies participating in the air, gas, water, fluid treatment and control market expect their 2013 sales to be $114 billion up from $108 billion in 2012 for an average gain of 5.2 percent. The mean gain is 5.6 percent (the projected sales for the company ranked #41). The McIlvaine Company in its report, Air/Gas/Water/Fluid Treatment and Control: World Markets, is projecting sales in this market to increase worldwide from $323 billion in 2012 to $339 billion (in non-inflated 2010 dollars).
Many of the companies participating in this market derive the majority of their sales from products outside the scope of this forecast. These 80 larger companies generate only 15 percent of the revenues in this market. The conclusion is that the larger companies will be growing at the same rate as the total market.
Companies headquartered in Asia (with the exception of Japan) will in general be growing faster than companies headquartered in Europe and the Americas.
Future sales forecasts of each of the 80 companies are an aggregate of forecasts by the companies or by the analysts who follow their stocks most closely. Individual forecasts ranged from a negative 3 percent to a positive 22 percent.

The biggest segment is carbon. The market for carbon filters for residential and commercial applications includes filters in pitchers and ice making systems. The filters improve the taste of water. For industrial applications, carbon filters compete with granular carbon.
Non-woven cartridge sales will exceed $4.6 billion in 2012. These cartridges are widely used in industry and in both point-of-entry and point-of-use in residential and commercial applications. Automotive and other mobile cartridges and those used in fluid power applications are not included in the scope of this report. Otherwise the non-woven segment would be the largest cartridge segment (automotive and fluid power filters are analyzed in other McIlvaine reports).
Membrane cartridge sales will exceed $4 billion next year. The chemical and pharmaceutical industries are major purchasers. Membrane cartridges are also used in many other industries. The semiconductor industry uses point-of-use membrane cartridges to capture any contaminants generated in the piping between the reverse osmosis system and the tool. Membrane cartridges are distinguished from cross-flow membranes in that they are dead end filters. All the liquid flows through the cartridge. Cross-flow membrane filters reject a portion of the liquid which then flows across the membrane and is discharged. Cross-flow membrane filters are analyzed in the McIlvaine report RO/UF/MF World Markets.
Metal cartridges are used in high temperature applications such as polymer purification in the petrochemical industry. String wound cartridges are used in paint purification and a number of applications where their low cost makes them attractive.
