EUEC Has Strong Water Program This Year
EUEC will be held January 28-30, 2013 in Phoenix. McIlvaine will be an exhibitor
and will be coordinating informal discussions relative to water issues for
power. Co-location of power and sewage treatment plants is a concept more
advanced than just using treatment municipal wastewater for cooling and burning
sewage sludge. The integrated concept uses the waste heat from the power plant
and makes it much more efficient. We will be focusing on this concept plus all
the regulatory issues for intakes, etc.
We had a discussion at the Ovivo stand at Power-Gen on these issues, and we hope
to enlist this company and others with the expertise to provide their views.
Advanced process optimization is another important component of successful
co-location, so we have invited Yokogawa to also participate. The complete
program is displayed at:
http://euec.com/getattachment/Index/Brochure_2013.pdf.aspx.
The plenary keynote panel held on Monday, January 28, 2013, will feature:
EUEC is an annual energy, utility and environment conference organized jointly
by a team of directors from the US EPA, US DOE, EPRI and EEI. EUEC 2013 is
the 15th annual conference, making it the largest and longest running
professional networking and educational event of its kind in the United States.
EUEC provides an educational forum with 600 expert speakers in 12 tracks and
networking events in the exhibit hall to facilitate the collaboration between
government, industry and stakeholders for the protection of our environment and
energy security.

$69 Billion Market for Industrial Process Automation and Control in 2013
This year industrial enterprises around the world will invest $69 billion for
process automation and control. This is the latest finding in
Air/Gas/Water/Fluid Treatment and Control: World Markets
published by the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
A number of companies participate in the industrial process automation and
control market. Some of the companies have extensive lines of instrumentation
and control valves which are included in their automation packages. Others have
little instrumentation or valves but buy these from others. Many of the
companies purchase some of the components and act as integrators.
Industrial process automation is distinct from building, transportation or other
automation segments. The major purchasers include the power, refining and oil
and gas industries. World revenues in 2013 are projected at $69 billion.
Instrumentation is the largest segment and is analyzed in detail in a separate
McIlvaine publication Air and Water Monitoring (including liquids and
gases). Control valves are another substantial segment. It is analyzed in
Industrial Valves: World Markets.
The integration of systems along with software to change operations is the
biggest growth area. It is presently a $9 billion market, but has potential to
be much larger.
In 2013 the power industry will be the biggest purchaser of automation systems.
Coal-fired power plants will buy more automation systems than the other
generator types (nuclear, gas, biomass, wind and solar) combined. This is due to
the huge construction activities in Asia and the attractive economics of
increasing energy efficiency at older power plants.
Oil and gas will be the second largest industry segment.
The Middle East will generate the most revenue in this segment, but NAFTA is
closing the gap. A large investment in automation is required in
hydraulic fracturing. In the U.S., there is a very large investment in
extraction of liquids from the so-called wet shale in the west and gas from dry
shale areas in Texas and Pennsylvania.
The market is also expanding due to the expenditures to liquefy natural gas. In
the U.S., terminals which were built to import and gasify LNG are now being
converted over to liquefy the U.S. shale gas and export it.
New regulations on fugitive emissions make the automation package more complex.
Systems to capture gas now released during well completion incorporate a number
of valves and other products which must be automated. The reclamation and reuse
of wastewater is also an expanding application for automation systems.
Sub-sea applications challenge suppliers with requirements for high pressure and
performance. Because of the lack of human access, the automation system
has a very high reliability requirement.
The transport of gas liquids, which are a by-product of the shale gas
extraction, provide still another application. There are also plans to invest
more than $20 billion in gas-to-liquid plants. These plants will take advantage
of the disparity between natural gas and oil prices. These plants will each
require automation and control of thousands of valves, along with separators,
compressors, pumps and other products.
McIlvaine has created a ranking which is based on different criteria than most.
It includes revenues just for industrial process automation after deduction of
control valves. Siemens is the largest supplier followed by ABB and
Emerson.

Revenues $ Billions |
Siemens |
>5 |
ABB |

Emerson |

>3 |
Rockwell |
>3 |
GE |
>3 |
Mitsubishi |
>1 |
Honeywell |
>1 |
Invensys |
>1 |
Endress & Hauser |
>1 |
Yokogawa shows up higher on this list than one with general automation rankings
for two reasons. The company does not make control valves and its primary focus
is on the industrial sector.
The big long-range potential is to fully integrate advanced process automation
with enterprise management. One of the stumbling blocks has been a way to
quantify social and economic alternatives. Various sustainability models are
complex and not uniformly applicable. McIlvaine has created a common metric to
measure all harm and good. It has also developed a database of important event
odds, tribal factor impacts and the adjustment of future values to the present.
