Market Program based on Reliable Forecasts of Purchases by Each Customer
Reliable forecasts can be obtained for each of 50,000 purchasers of combust,
flow and treat (CFT) products and services. The Total Available Market (TAM)
forecasts for specific products e.g. valves, pumps, cartridges, treatment
chemicals, membranes, dust bags etc. can be purchased for as little as $1 per
prospect. The average ROI will be 200 to 1. This is based on a yearly
opportunity of $200,000 an increase in market share of 0.5% and a profit margin
of 10%. The ROI for the very largest customers will be 20,000 to 1 whereas the
ROI for the small customers will be just 5 to 1.
A program starting with the prospects with the highest ROI can be progressively
expanded to eventually cover all customers.
The purchase forecasts for all customers is the first step in a complete
business program to address the sea change in CFT market. There will be a high
ROI achieved with direct sales programs for larger prospects. Custom websites
can easily be justified for top prospects
Details on this program are explained at www.mcilvainecompany.com
A series of webinars relative to the opportunity for specific CFT products will
include a Valve webinar on June 20. You can register at Free Market Webinars
McIlvaine can recommend a progressive program starting with the prospects with
the highest ROI for a specific product. For more information on this program

Forecasting your Sales Opportunity for Each Customer, Large or Small
Thanks to digital technology it is now economically possible to forecast the
market opportunity for each potential customer for each type of combust, flow
and treat product. Traditionally the market program has been based on sales
leads. If the customer is interested in a general performance product such as
small valves for a fresh water line, the order may be placed by a contractor and
the lead time from project inception to sale could be a matter of weeks. The
purchasing agent or project manager may be the sole decision maker. Here is how
marketing programs are set up around sales leads.
High performance products such as a severe service valve or a cross flow
membrane filter are purchased as a result of initiatives which will span months
or years. There is often a preferred bidders list. Decisions are made based on
total cost of ownership more than on initial price. Most purchases are to
replace existing products or by owners who have products of this type in
operation.
Some general performance products are now being purchased as if they were high
performance. For example if a supplier of small fresh water valves offers a
package which includes remote monitoring and replacement of all the valves in
the corporation, his offering will need the time and scrutiny that high
performance products receive.
For high performance products, the most valuable estimate is the yearly purchase
opportunity for a product at each plant and for the total corporation. Since
there may be 100,000 plants who are potential customers this would have been an
impossible quest before the digital age. Now it is economically attractive to
make these determinations. With the Industrial Internet of Wisdom and a number
of services available from McIlvaine product forecasts can be made for each
plant
McIlvaine has many market reports each of which projects revenues for each type
of product in each industry. The purchases for the top 100 customers are also
included. Details on each report are shown at
http://home.mcilvainecompany.com/index.php/markets.
Forecasts for all the plants are created based on McIlvaine databases. Plant
databases and corporate profiles as well as tracking systems for individual
projects are included in a number of services described at
http://home.mcilvainecompany.com/index.php/databases.
The ability to accurately forecast the opportunities for specific products is
contingent on understanding the processes and potential changes to those
processes. This data is extracted from Decision Systems at
http://home.mcilvainecompany.com/index.php/decisions
It is possible to purchase just product forecasts for each plant without
purchasing the support services. So there is an economical option for each
combust, flow and treat supplier. Details are contained in the 5 step business
program described at www.mcilvainecompany.com.
Forecast Purchases at Each Individual Power Plant Unit
It is now possible to obtain product forecasts for each potential power plant
customer. These forecasts can become the foundation of a sales program.
McIlvaine can provide forecasts for more than 20,000 large units and another
30,000 smaller utility and industrial units.
The power industry represents a large market for combust flow and treat (CFT)
products and services. Coal fired power plants will be the largest purchasers
but the gap is shrinking as gas turbine capacity grows. Nuclear plants will
continue to rank below coal and gas.
The amount of CFT purchases by solar and wind generators will remain small even
though the share of generation by these plants will be growing robustly.
Geothermal and biomass are big purchasers of CFT products but their share of
total generation will be small. Hydropower will remain a big market for pumps
and valves but not for most other CFT products.
Between 2018 and 2021 the capacity of coal plants worldwide will grow from 2440
GW to 2600 GW. The average boiler size is 0.2 GW. There are 12,200 existing
boilers. The average size of new boilers is 500 MW. So the number of boilers
will grow by 320 during the next three years Each existing unit and details on
the new boilers are provided in 42EI Utility Tracking System.
Nuclear capacity will grow from 433 GW in 2018 to 453 GW in 2021. The average
reactor is approaching 1 GW and many sites have multiple reactors. So the number
of units is less than 500 and the number of sites less than 300. Weekly details
on these plants are included in 41F Utility E-Alert.
Gas turbine capacity will rise from 1670 GW in 2018 to 1890 GW in 2021. The
average unit size is 0.1 GW resulting in 18,900 units in place by 2021 Data on
all existing plants as well as new projects is included in
59EI Gas Turbine and Reciprocating Engine Supplier Program.
There are thousands of geothermal, biomass, biogas and hydro plants. Most are
small. Each is tracked in
31I Renewable Energy Update and Projects.
The projected CFT product revenues for each type of generator are included in
the market reports http://home.mcilvainecompany.com/index.php/markets
Innovations and insights to future revenues are included in Decision Systems
44I Coal Fired Power Plant Decisions and 59D Gas Turbine and Reciprocating
Engine Decisions
This aggregation of services allows McIlvaine to cost effectively predict
product purchases at each plant.
Operators of simple cycle and combined cycle gas turbine plants will spend $180
billion per year for hardware, consumables, instrumentation and services on an
annual basis over the next 10 years.
The top 15 power companies will spend more than $750 million for gas measurement
devices in 2022. This includes analyzers to measure CO, CO2, O2, NOx, NH3, SO2,
SO3, mercury and dust. The requirements for mass measurement of dust are
boosting the market because their cost is considerably greater than the
previously required opacity monitors.
Five Companies will be Responsible for 39 Percent of the Combust, Flow and Treat
Purchases in the Nuclear Power segment in 2018.
Global nuclear power generation is now predicted to grow by 2.3 percent per
annum out to 2035. Over 90 percent of the combust, flow and treat expenditures
will be made by fewer than 50 companies. Thirty-nine percent will be made by
just three operators and one supplier.

Nuclear plants will spend $200 million for cross flow membranes. This represents
20 percent of the total membrane purchases by the power industry.
Most new coal fired plants will incorporate flue gas desulfurization. Many
existing plants have FGD systems or will install them. So this is a big market
for pumps, valves, controls, chemicals, nozzles, fans, packing, seals and other
CFT products. The purchases are concentrated among a few large operators.
Guodian and Shenhua are merging and will make 12 percent of global purchases FGD

There are nearly 30,000 industrial boilers in the U.S. However, there are only
350 plants with coal fired boilers and 2000 plants with large gas fired boilers.
In the case of a chemical plant such as BASF Freeport, the total market for
valves and pumps is large. The boilers just become one of a number of relevant
processes within the plant. In Asia there are a large number of independent coal
fired power plants operated in conjunction with mining, steel, and chemical
products.
Setting up a program built around individual power plants.
The program can be structured to place larger effort on the plants with the
greatest potential.
Maximum effort with custom websites can be set up for 2000 individual units at
the top 20 purchasers with 50 percent of the potential. So this would be just 20
custom websites. There would be 200 direct sales programs covering corporations
with 10,000 units representing 80 percent of the potential. Forecasts for 45,000
units would account for 95 percent of the potential and would be an evaluation
tool for the general sales effort.
The forecasts for each individual plant will allow the sales team to effectively
deploy resources and maximize sales.
Steps to a Program Based on Forecasts for Each Plant
Segment products in to two categories: High performance and general performance
Determine product revenue for each potential purchaser at each plant
Post the forecasts in the CRM System
Prioritize customers based on size of Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM) and
product category
Where the product is in the general performance category use the forecasts as an
evaluation tool on a retrospective basis and to replace sales leads on a
proactive basis.
Where the SOM is below a revenue size warranting direct sales the existing sales
approach can be used.
For high performance products and for prospects with sizable SOM revenue
potential initiate a 5 step program as explained at www.mcilvainecompany.com
Revise specific forecasts based on feedback from the sales personnel
This program can be initiated in a progressive cost effective manner. For more
information on the utilization of individual boiler forecasts contact Bob

Pump Forecasts for Many Thousands of Customers
It is now economically beneficial to forecast pump purchases at many thousands
of plants. Since the average industrial pump is replaced every 10 years and
since repairs and service generate costs equal to 75 percent of the initial
price over the 10 year period, the market for replacement pumps and
repairs/service is seven times higher than the market for new pumps for new
systems. Since most of the new systems are purchased by companies which already
own pumps, the purchases by existing known companies represent 99 percent of the
market.
The takeaway from these statistics is that 99 percent of the purchasers are
already known and can be pursued based on detailed forecasts of their annual
purchases. McIlvaine identifies each plant, the processes within that plant, the
flow rates, and the annual purchases of new and replacement pumps as well as the
potential for repairs and services.
The conventional way to pursue the market is through sales leads. However, there
is a new approach. The Industrial Internet of Wisdom empowers IIoT and IIoT in
turn enriches IIoW. The result is that an increasing percentage of pumps will be
purchased based on a continuing lowest total cost of ownership evaluation. The
sea change in the route to market will occur first for high performance pumps
and for higher quantities. The recommendation is to set up parallel sales
programs: one for high performance pumps and high volume sales, and one for
general performance pumps and for small volumes of high performance pumps.
Both programs should take advantage of Advanced Forecasting. It is now possible
to identify all the purchasers and predict 99 percent of the orders. The
municipal wastewater industry can be used as an example.
BEWG owns a number of wastewater treatment plants, operates others and supplies
waste treatment systems which include pumps. They are active in Singapore,
Portugal and other countries. However, the bulk of their plants are in China.
They will spend just under $20 million for pumps this year.

There are more than 90,000 municipal wastewater treatment plants worldwide
including 16,000 in the U.S. There are 3500 wastewater treatment plants in the
U.S. which spend more than $100,000 per year for pumps. Another 3500 spend more
than $50,000 per year. The largest plants spend over $30 million per year each.
California has a number of large wastewater treatment plants whose purchases
range from $7 million per year to over $35 million.

There are 69,000 industrial plants in the U.S which are treating wastewater and
then discharging it to lakes and streams. There are 400,000 plants treating
wastewater worldwide. Some of these plants also treat municipal wastewater.
ConAgra treats municipal wastewater in the small towns where it has food
processing plants.
BASF has more than 100 plants worldwide. At the Ludwigshafen site it also treats
industrial hazardous waste from nearby industries. It is a sizable purchaser of
wastewater pumps at its U.S. plants.

Wastewater represents a small percentage of the total pump applications at BASF
plants. Pump purchases for other processes can be determined based on the
production and use of various fluids. For example acids are produced at some
plants and then used in downstream processes. BASF Antwerp, Belgium is highly
integrated with 50 individual production operations within the plant confines.
BASF is a relatively small producer of chlorine. The Ludwigshafen plant produces
385,000 tons per year of chlorine. Dow, Germany produces 1.5 million tpy of
chlorine. Its other chlorine operations were merged with Olin. This makes Olin
the largest producer (5.6 million tpy). World production is now 70 million tpy.
Chlorine producers use 70 percent of the amount produced for chemical processes
within the plant boundaries. The requirements for lined and exotic metal pumps
can be determined from primary and secondary use of a specific acid at a
specific plant. Wacker Chemie produces chlorine and then reuses each chlorine
atom 15 times in downstream processes.
BASF has one professional interface for all global suppliers and has a suite of
strategic procurement processes for all plants worldwide. This centralization of
decision making is one of the factors in the sea change in the route to market.
Program for general performance pumps and for small volumes of high performance
pumps
The conventional market program can continue to be used for this category of
pumps. Advanced forecasting of purchases by individual customers can be used as
an evaluation tool for the sales network and for the marketing program. In the
past sales leads served this purpose. Since replacement pumps and repairs
dominate the market the forecasts for individual plants and for individual sales
territories are reliable and less expensive than sales leads.
Program for high performance pumps and high volume sales of general performance
pumps.
High performance pumps by definition are purchased because of their lower total
cost of ownership rather than initial price. The process to obtain Lowest Total
Cost of Ownership Validation (LTCOV) or to be a most preferred supplier, or even
a accepted supplier is lengthy and needs to be pursued with a continuous effort.
It is therefore critical to apply Advanced Forecasting and assess the
opportunity with each customer and then formulate a program which may include
direct sales to the largest customers and use of representatives for the smaller
opportunities. In either case the knowledge of the likely opportunity at each
plant is important.
The forecasts including pump purchases by the largest customers are provided in

Top Five Semiconductor Manufacturers Purchase 40 Percent of the Combust, Flow
and Treat Products
The semiconductor industry is a large and growing market for combust, flow and
treat (CFT) products. In 2019 the industry will spend $15.4 billion for these
products. The top five purchasers will account for 40 percent of the total.
Four of the top five purchasers are integrated suppliers with both chip
fabrication and proprietary designs. TSMC is not an integrated supplier but has
a 56 percent share of the independent foundry market.
The processes used by these manufacturers include ultrapure water to wash chips,
acids to etch them, cleanrooms with sophisticated HVAC systems to prevent
particulate damage, wastewater treatment and air pollution control. There are
many individual steps as a chip moves from tool to tool.
The top 100 purchasers represent over 80 percent of the market. These companies
are centralizing decision making and purchasing. They are also remotely
monitoring operations and utilizing total cost of ownership evaluations to make
decisions.
Consolidation is continuing and it is likely that the top 100 purchasers will
account for 90 percent of the market within a decade. These purchasers have
plants throughout the world. Therefore market research based on the market size
in China or the U.S. is not nearly as relevant as the market size for each of
the top 100 purchasers.

The challenges to improve performance increase as line size decreases. Chips
with 7nm line sizes are now in production and 5nm production is slated for 2020.
This progression needs to be accompanied by similar advancement of CFT products.
This means that suppliers must understand the processes generally but also the
unique variations applied by individual purchasers.
This focus on individual purchasers and their unique processes dictates
collaboration among disparate supplier divisions. ABB makes cleanroom robots as
well as a range of guide, control and measurement products. Danaher has acquired
Pall and Chemtreat to supplement its Hach operations and now can supply a range
of filters, treatment chemicals and measurement equipment.

Danaher can use its strong position in cross flow membranes and measurement to
increase penetration for its other products. The right treatment chemical in an
accurately measured amount is necessary to keep the cross-flow membrane clean.
Danaher how has all the products to provide the operational synergy to maximize
membrane performance.
Emerson purchased Tyco Valves from Pentair. This expands its synergy between
valves, controls and instrumentation.
Now with low cost sensors, wireless technology and capable partners, CFT
suppliers can add remote monitoring and edge computer packages to their
offerings and substantially increase revenues.
Multi product suppliers would be well served to determine the opportunity at
each of the top semiconductor purchasers and then devise a strategy to encourage
collaboration among divisions to pursue each. This represents a sea change in
the route to market caused by international consolidation, IIoT and the
Industrial Internet of Wisdom (IIoW) to empower IIoT.
The opportunity for controls and instrumentation for each large purchaser is
included in N031 Industrial IOT and Remote O&M.
The potential for purchases of specific products such as valves, pumps,
scrubbers, filters, etc. by each large semiconductor purchaser as well as
purchasers in other industries is included in the individual market reports
