Tom Tschanz
and Bob McIlvaine will be leading the discussion and displaying
diagrams and other material to facilitate the discussion.
This service is free to our Power Plant Decisions, Valve World
Markets, Utility Upgrade Tracking and Fossil and Nuclear World
Markets and certain other subscribers. There is a $125 charge for others.

Desalination Flow Control and Treatment Revenues to Exceed $9 Billion by 2020
Desalination plant flow control and treatment expenditures are now just 1.5
percent of the $340 billion dollar flow control and treatment market. While the
market as a whole will increase at 5.5 percent, the growth in the desalination
sector will be nearly twice as high. These are the conclusions reached by the
McIlvaine Company in
Air/Gas/Water/Fluid Treatment and Control: World Markets. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Cumulative desalination treatment capacity will double by 2020:

Cumulative Capacity

2015 |

Flow control and treatment revenues will grow from $4 billion in 2013 to $9
billion/yr by 2020. The substantial revenue increases are a function of repairs
and upgrades as well as new capacity. When the installed base is growing so
rapidly, there is a corresponding growth in repair parts and consumables.
Another reason that the flow control and treatment revenues will grow rapidly is
the increasing preference for reverse osmosis vs. thermal treatment. The
filtration and pre-filtration steps represent a significant portion of the total
expenditure when desalination is accomplished with RO.
There are substantial repair part revenues associated with the primary and
energy recovery pumps. Valve part revenues are also significant. Dow
Chemical benefits with hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue generated by
replacement of existing RO modules. The company is also replacing alternative
pre-treatment filters with UF. Chemical cleaning of the RO system is
reduced. The result is a reduction in life cycle costs.
Upgrades to existing thermal systems will generate substantial revenues.
Yokogawa Electric completed a project in 2012 to replace the control systems for
the boilers, distillation unit and auxiliary facilities at the Shuwaikh seawater
desalination plant. The Centum series integrated production control system which
makes this plant operation more efficient and reliable. It replaced the aging
control systems for three boilers, three distillation units and auxiliary
facilities. The Yokogawa Centum series integrated production system controls all
plant facilities. Also included were a Prosafe-RS safety instrumented system for
the burner management systems on the boilers, a PRM integrated device management
software package to monitor plant facilities and predict when maintenance is
necessary.
At the Perth Seawater Desalination Plant at Kwinana, Australia Siemens
automation technology provided the opportunity to greatly reduce the enormous
quantity of copper cabling and connections normally required for a plant of this
scale. The quantity of copper has been reduced by using intelligent
communications and fibre-optic cable. Much less cable in the plant results in
lower capital costs and improved reliability. Using a combination of
leading-edge software, hardware and diagnostics, plant operators can predict
maintenance needs more efficiently.
