Thousands of U.S. Water and Wastewater Plants Purchase Lime Based Products Each
Year
Lime products soften water by removing carbonate and non-carbonate hardness.
This purifies the water for consumption, provides better tasting water and
allows soap products to lather readily. Many of the 18,000 municipal drinking
water facilities purchase lime.
Lime is used in municipal wastewater treatment to stabilize biosolids by killing
pathogens, viruses and reducing vector attraction to produce high quality
fertilizers for the agricultural industry. It also has other uses.
·
Reducing biosolids odors and improving handling through drying.
·
Ensuring pH and alkalinity are correct to optimize biological treatment
operations.
·
Adjusting pH and alkalinity to optimize coagulation and flocculation settling
processes.
·
Controlling nutrients like phosphorus as lime precipitates phosphorous to very
low levels without biological treatment.
A sizable number of the 16,000 municipal wastewater treatment plants also use
lime. A city may combine purchases and buy lime for multiple water and
wastewater plants in an annual contract. Some contracts are as short as six
months and some as long as five years.
McIlvaine Company tracks bids for the purpose of helping lime companies
understand when lime will be ordered, the quantities which will be needed, and
the prices which are likely to be paid. Since a plant typically orders lime for
the same period as previously and in the same month, it is possible to create a
useful plant-by-plant pattern and predict the next order timing and amount.

The pricing shown in the chart does not necessarily reflect the price paid in
the current year. The prices vary greatly based on the location of the lime
supplier and the availability of the product. Prices also vary by the particle
size and treatment.

Brazil
Market forecasts for Brazil's economic growth and inflation worsened for an
eighth straight week, according to a central bank survey.
The median forecast of about 100 economists in the weekly central bank survey
projected Brazil's economy to shrink 0.5% this year, down from a contraction of
0.42% in the prior week's poll. Annual inflation is set to end 2015 at 7.33%, up
from 7.27% in the prior survey.

ASIA
Japan
Japan’s economy pulled out of recession more slowly than expected last quarter,
with soft spending by businesses and consumers underscoring the challenges
facing Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as he tries to steer the nation to a robust
recovery.
The worst is likely over for Japan in the near term, economists said recently,
but Mr. Abe still faces a difficult balancing act as he tries to get prices and
wages to rise at the same time. Growth last quarter was driven by exports, while
sustainable expansion depends on instilling confidence in consumers who account
for around 60% of the economy, and whose wages have been rising more slowly than
prices for more than a year.
“I was surprised by how weak household spending was,” said Shotaro Kuga, an
economist at Daiwa Institute of Research, said of the fourth quarter results.
“The economy is recovering—it’s just the pace of the recovery is less than
forecast.”

EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST
Russia
Russia’s economy minister said that the country’s gross domestic product is
expected to shrink by 3% in 2015 with oil prices at $50 a barrel and an
estimated capital outflow at $115 billion, Russian news agencies reported.
The government previously predicted the decrease in GDP at 0.8%. Inflation in
2015 is now forecast to stand at 12%, up from the previous estimate of 7.5%,
Alexei Ulyukayev said, Russian news agencies reported.
The announcement comes a day after the Russian central bank unexpectedly lowered
its key interest rate by two percentage points, sending the ruble lower. Russia
was also recently downgraded to “junk” level, below investment-grade, by the
credit rating company Standard & Poor’s amid the mounting violence in eastern
Ukraine. .”
