Smart Pumps Will Help Drive Pump Revenues to $59 billion in 2019
Pump suppliers will experience rising sales resulting in just under $59 billion
in revenue by 2019. This is the conclusion reached by the McIlvaine Company in
Pumps World Market. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

The early pump companies were foundries.
Competitive
edge and greater revenue were based around manufacturing skills. Today the pump
industry is much more focused on providing solutions for customers. This can
include purchased components and software. These auxiliaries are reflected in
the revenues reported by the companies.
A significant part of the growth is due to the “smart pump” offerings. Smart
pumps can be integrated directly into plant distributed control systems. They
reduce maintenance and improve performance.
The Grundfos smart DDA pump comes as a package with:
·
Flow Control with selective fault diagnosis
·
Pressure monitoring
·
Flow measurement
·
Intuitive and self-explanatory menu
·
Click wheel (turn-and-push knob)
·
Big graphical LCD with four color “traffic light” concept
·
More than 25 languages
It has the ability to improve the dosing function for pH control, disinfection,
or cleaning–in-place.
Pump company “smart” revenues can extend to retrofits on competitors pumps.
PumpSmart® from ITT is an intelligent flow system that works with any
pump, utilizing smart VFD controller and proprietary control software to provide
advanced process control, enhanced reliability through failure prevention,
reduced life cycle costs and lower energy costs.
ITT also offers ProSmart® which is a multi-patented, low cost,
wireless predictive condition monitoring system that provides continuous online
monitoring, alerting operators to alarm conditions via email or telephone.
Six years ago Colfax Corporation developed an intelligent concept pump with the
ability to monitor its performance, adjust to changing conditions and order its
own replacement parts - all without human supervision. The TX2020 can operate by
itself at a remote pumping location or be connected to a network of pumps
managed at a central office.
TX2020 pump software includes a preventive maintenance calendar and, based on
foreseen needs or detected problems, the ability to determine which parts need
replacement and issue a purchase order for them. For marine applications, the
TX2020 can even provide a pre-programmed list of the service stations closest to
the vessel, with full coordinates and contact details. The software also
maintains precise records in the form of an electronic log book operators can
use to track performance trends over time.
These examples are part of a trend among pump suppliers to supply the “smart”
auxiliaries.

The Pharmaceutical Industry Ultrapure Water (UPW) Purchases to reach $550
Million in 2019
The pharmaceutical industry demands for UPW for injection (WFI) and UPW for
cleaning process equipment and other uses will result in purchases close to $550
million in 2019 up from $480 million in 2015. This is the latest forecast in the
continually updated Ultrapure Water: World Markets published by the
McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Some major trends are:
·
Coal-fired boiler market will level off but at a high level.
·
The gas turbine combined cycle market will grow but expenditures for UPW are
just 50 percent of those for a coal-fired power plant.
·
Semiconductor market will continue growth based on mobile communications and the
automobile demand.
·
The pharmaceutical industry will remain a major sector and will achieve steadier
growth than other segments.
The forecast includes hardware such as filters, piping, pumps and instruments.
It also includes consumables such as membranes and ion-exchange resins. In
general, the contamination prevention demands are so high that specially
designed hardware and consumables are needed.
The largest pharmaceutical growth is coming in Asia where there is a
construction boom centered around generic drug manufacture. The major drug
companies of the world are building generic production facilities in China,
India and other Asian countries.
There are four trends driving the rapid growth in the Asian pharmaceutical UPW
market:
·
Increasing ability to pay for drugs.
·
Low per capita expenditures in the past.
·
New focus on health care.
·
Tighter restrictions forcing more UPW expenditures per unit of production.
One of the areas of greater investment is in measurement and control. Better
instruments to measure contaminants and flow along with software to optimize
processes are allowing pharmaceutical plants to achieve better contamination
control a reasonable cost. So–called smart pumps and valves which report their
condition further the optimization potential.
There are equipment improvements such as electrodeionization and membrane
contractors for gas removal. There are consumables improvements such as reverse
osmosis membranes which achieve greater efficiency at comparable energy
consumption.

Liquid Macrofiltration Market to Approach $6.8 Billion Next Year
The market for equipment and media to separate larger particles from liquids and
dewater slurries will exceed $6.7 billion next year. This is the latest forecast
in Liquid Filtration and Media: World Markets published by the McIlvaine
Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

The equipment included in this forecast are gravity belt filters, belt filter
presses, drum filters, leaf filters, granular media filters and bag filters.
These devices are separating particles between 1-100 microns from various
liquids from water to wine. Dewatering of sewage sludge and other slurries is a
major use.
East Asia will dominate the market next year for several reasons. The first is
the large investment in belt filter presses to dewater sewage sludge, mining
ores and coal slurries. The large investment in flue gas desulfurization will be
accompanied by significant investment in belt filters to dewater gypsum.
Granular media filters will purify much of the water needed for cooling in
coal-fired power plants.
Hardware sales in NAFTA will be less than 50 percent of the hardware sales in
East Asia, but the sales of media will be more equal. This is because the
existing market is large in NAFTA but the new expansions are comparatively few.
NAFTA will benefit from a substantial expansion of oil and gas processing
plants. Hydraulic fracturing is creating the need for treatment of the flow-back
liquid which contains sand, shale particles and high levels of dissolved solids.
Treatment of produced water is another expanding application. The use of
automatic backwash filters in treatment of ballast water is another growth
segment.

GTCC Valves is the “Hot Topic Hour” on June 4, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. CST
This webinar will be a discussion of the options and issues involving gas
turbine and combined cycle valves. It
will be based on a continually evolving
GTCC Route Map and Summary.
We are requesting input from the industry to expand this route map prior to the
meeting and then to discuss and debate the alternatives during the webinar.
Another purpose of the webinar will be to integrate this route map with the
entire program.
The GTCC Route Map is going to be displayed in Power
Plant Valves Decision Guide.
This decision guide provides direct links to detailed articles, white
papers, recordings and other material needed for decision making. This
intelligence is contained in two complete decision programs
44I Power
Plant Air Quality Decisions (Power
Plant Decisions Orchard) and
Gas
Turbine and Combined Cycle Decisions
.
The whole concept of the decision programs in power and the role of route maps,
decision guides and decision orchards is explained at
Power Plant Decisions.
