Asia Will Account For More Than Half the $6.4 Billion 2014 Liquid
Macrofiltration Market
Purchases of liquid macrofiltration equipment and media will exceed $3.4 billion
in 2014. This is the latest forecast in Liquid Filtration and Media World Market
published by the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

McIlvaine liquid filtration forecasts are segmented into liquid macrofiltration,
cartridges and cross-flow membranes. Macrofiltration includes belt filter
presses, belt filters, gravity media filters and automatic backwash filters.
Municipal drinking water will be the largest segment with revenues of just under
$1 billion. Gravity media filters are used at most new drinking water plants.
Asia is undertaking a massive program to provide clean drinking water.
Municipal wastewater will be the second largest Asian segment of macrofiltration
next year. Municipalities use belt filter presses and recessed chamber filter
presses to dewater sewage sludges. In less than a decade, China has developed
30,000 mgd of municipal wastewater treatment plants. This compares to 40,000 mgd
in the U.S. However the U.S. investment has been staggered over one hundred
years. Only a few thousand mgd of U.S. plants have been built since 2000.
The large majority of the new coal-fired power plants will be built in Asia in
the next five years. Filter presses, automatic backwash filters and gravity
media filters are used for the cooling of wastewater. Treatment purchases are
enlarged by the lack of water resources and the preference for treating and
using contaminated water.

100,000 People Who Are Changing the Worlds Environment and Access to Energy
Governments are facilitators but the real improvements in the world environment
and the increasing access to clean electricity are achieved by corporations and
associations. Within these entities, it is individuals who are responsible for
progress.
One hundred thousand of these individuals are identified in three McIlvaine
networking directories. These individuals are employed by corporations,
associations and governments. They include the senior management as well as the
research and project engineers. They include the specifiers as well as the
purchasers at the companies operating energy and environmental equipment.
The biggest contributions are being made by individuals in developed countries
who are providing their expertise to build the energy and environmental
infrastructure in the developing countries. One of the most important
contributions toward the information transfer has been the globalization of the
energy and environmental industries.
Two of the world’s largest power generation equipment companies now have more
Chinese nationals in their employ than citizens of any other country. The
world’s largest supplier of air pollution monitoring equipment has its main
research facility in China.
The major international drug companies are also setting up large research
centers in China and India. The foundation of the globalization is that trust
and loyalty of workers will be constant regardless of nationality.
Globalization results in higher revenues resulting from innovations. This
provides a more attractive return on investment for research and development
activities.
The information flow is bi-directional. With the large number of engineers
graduating each year in Asian countries, there will be increasing value in the
innovations coming from this region. Already environmental and energy products
developed in Asia are competing in the world market. One Chinese environmental
company has committed 30 percent of its engineering efforts to R&D. In most
Western countries the average is 1 percent.
The three networking directories are:
