Cartridge Filter Media Sales to Exceed $3 Billion in 2016
Cartridges used to filter, particulates, droplets and liquids from liquids and
gases represent a $35 billion dollar market. The media used with these
cartridges generates revenues of over $10 billon. Removal of particulates from
liquids at stationary sources will generate 2016 revenues of $16.5 million for
cartridge suppliers and $3.1 billion for media suppliers. This is the conclusion
reached by the McIlvaine Company in N024 Cartridge Filters: World Market.

NOx Control Decision Guides will be compared on March 24 at 10:00 a.m. central
time
McIlvaine has prepared decision guides for NOx control for various applications
including gas turbines, coal-fired boilers, incinerators and cement plants and
refineries. The most recent guide is for NOx control from diesel trucks and
light vehicles.
The purpose of the discussion will be to generate cross pollination among
industries. Refineries have more experience with ozone oxidation than other
industries. The catalytic filter has a big potential in coal-fired power but
most of the experience to date has been in incineration and glass furnaces and
other smaller applications.
* E = explanation, A = advantages D = disadvantages
DeNOx decisively classified options for coal, cement, incineration
Option * Details
SCR E Ammonia injection followed by a catalytic reactor
A High efficiency and accepted by regulatory authorities
D Cost, catalyst plugging, space
SNCR E Urea injection in the furnace
A Low cost, low maintenance, space
D Low efficiency, ammonia slip
Ozone
Oxidation E Ozone injection followed by scrubber
A Little space if scrubber already in place
D Ozone cost, efficiency
Hydrogen
Peroxide E Chemical injection converts to NO2 followed by scrubbing
A Low capital cost if scrubber already in place
D Chemical cost
Catalytic
Filter E Fabric filter has embedded catalyst
A Lower footprint with combination, lower capital and operating cost
D Lack of experience
The mobile diesel SCR uses urea. The infrastructure to deliver urea for the urea
for stationary plants can be integrated with the mobile demands.
Opportunities abound for combining systems to best fit unique circumstances.
SNCR and induct SCR is one example. The use of hydrogen peroxide where there
are short peaks in NOx generation can allow use of a smaller SCR.
Suppliers are encouraged to send information on their successes to McIlvaine
prior to the meeting. McIlvaine will display all the options during the meeting
and lead the discussions.

Daikin Now has Over a Nine Percent Market Share in Air Filtration with the
Purchase of Flanders
Daikin Industries Ltd., through its subsidiary American Air Filter Co. Inc., has
acquired Flanders. The acquisition price was $430 million. As a result of the
merger, the Daikins filter sales will exceed ₯100 billion ($890 million)
annually. Approximately 75 percent of that business is in the $7.3 billion air
filtration segment. So Daikin will enjoy almost 10 percent of a world market.
This is a market which is quite splintered and no competitors are dominating.
Flanders is a U.S. based corporation as is AAF. Both have long histories dating
back to the post World War II period where the U.S. was the center of the
semiconductor industry and warm air heating (steam radiators were used
elsewhere). The U.S. filter market share was greater than 50 percent at that
time. Now the market share is falling toward 10 percent. Semiconductor
production is centered in East Asia. Residential filter sales are soaring in
countries such as China and India with highly polluted air.
Flanders has high value-added products such as those used in cleanrooms for
semiconductors, pharmaceuticals and food processing. There is also a middle
value added product range used in gas turbine intakes. There has been a movement
to much higher efficiency to better protect the high performance turbines
produced today. So the high efficiency microfiber glass filters from Flanders
will be more relevant.
Flanders also has the low end products - a broad product lineup ranging from
commercial to residential and a nationwide sales network. Flanders has
manufacturing bases near most major U.S. cities, including Chicago and New York,
and provides short lead times and low logistics costs to deliver products that
are cost competitive in the low end market.
Having established manufacturing bases in the regions of Japan, North America,
Europe, China and Southeast Asia, Daikin has expanded its filter business
through its subsidiaries AAF and Nippon Muki Co. Ltd. Products have focused on
commercial-use air conditioning filters used in buildings and factories and the
engineering fields, including dust collection systems for production facilities.
AAF has established itself in each region of the world and performs development,
production, sales and service for products satisfying the needs of an extensive
market.
Daikin, through AAF, is also a participant in the equally large dust collector
filter market. However, it has chosen to pursue the low end value filters in
this market and, therefore, has a tiny market share. Some of the same cartridges
used in gas turbine intakes are also used in woodworking, welding and other low
temperature dust collector exhaust applications. Some competitors such as
Donaldson and Clarcor are in both markets. Clarcor recently expanded into the
high end dust collector market with the purchase of the BHA division of GE. Both
the dust collector and air filter markets will show high growth over the next
decade.
