New Route to Market Will Be Launched Next Week in Charlotte
McIlvaine, International Filtration News, and AFS are collaborating to
provide a unique new way for owners to select water purification products and
services. The AFS spring conference will be focused on power. Last
week you received a link to the IFN pre-show issue with articles by Ovivo
and others. Peter Cartwright will be conducting a half day course on reverse
osmosis. Dan Oberle will be discussing adhesives for spiral wound membranes.
Membrana will be providing insights on gas contactors.
What is new is the portion of the conference focused on hot gas filtration and
air inlet filters. There will be a 90-minute session devoted to each.
Eight to ten experts will debate and discuss a number of the issues and options
which are displayed in DECISION GUIDES. All the details are shown at:
Power Plant Decisions.
This same powerful approach will be utilized with Decision Orchards in each
major water using industry and hundreds of Decision Guides e.g. cross-flow
membranes for coal-fired power plants. AFS, IFN and McIlvaine will be
initiating some of this at the fall AFS oil and gas conference.
McIlvaine will have a decision guide on coalescing filters. For more on

Expenditures for Cleanrooms Will Exceed $5.6 Billion By 2020
Expenditures for modular and engineered cleanrooms will exceed $5.6 billion by
2020 according to the McIlvaine Company latest forecasts in
World Cleanroom Markets. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Totals include walls, floors, ceilings, HVAC, filters and control systems
installed in ultra clean space. Cleanrooms are needed in the
semiconductor, flat panel display, pharmaceutical, food and other industries
where small particles could damage the product or micro-organisms could cause
harm to human, plant or animal health.
The continued growing demand for electronic products in China continues to drive
investment in expanding the nation’s domestic chip-making capabilities. Total
world semiconductor unit shipments are forecast to top one trillion units for
the first time in 2017. The chip demand for mobile devices is predicted to
grow robustly throughout the remainder of the decade.
One of the trends over the last decade is to remove the human from the cleanroom
environment. This requires expensive robots and automation systems to
substitute for human labor. This is possible in high volume semiconductor
facilities and in some pharmaceutical and food operations. However, it is
not economic or possible to make this substitution for most operations.
Where automation is possible the expense of automation is offset by the smaller
cleanroom size. The amount of air filtered can be reduced by an order of
magnitude.
The nano technology movement is creating new applications for cleanrooms.
Typically the smaller the product the more sensitive it is to harm from
particles in the air. In a world where miniaturization of electronic
devices is a priority, the cleanroom market will continue to grow.
