The Environmental Systems Market Is a $1 Billion/yr. Opportunity for Valve
Companies
The environmental systems suppliers generate revenues of over $100 billion per
year. The systems they supply include valves valued at nearly $1 billion/yr.
This is the conclusion reached by the McIlvaine Company in
N028 Industrial Valves: World Market.

The largest segment of the market is for valves dealing with water and slurries.
Valves used for fabric filter pulse cleaning and air monitoring valves are the
exception. Some of the individual valve purchases are substantial.
The knife gate and ball valves used in a large power plant flue gas
desulfurization system cost over $1 million. ITT, Pentair and Crane purse
this market with dedicated sales people.
Some of the companies such as B&W and MHPS are buying valves for many processes.
Both of these companies furnish environmental systems but their largest market
is for complete coal-fired power plants.
The largest 140 environmental companies average annual valve purchases of $1.3
million. These companies are all identified with contacts in 53DI
OEM Networking Directory.

Coal Is Still King in Sales of Ultrapure Water Systems
Power plants will spend over $1 billion for ultrapure water systems, replacement
parts and consumables in 2016.
Despite the negative publicity toward coal in the West, the bulk of the new
system purchases will be for coal-fired boilers. Most of this activity
will be in Asia.
New ultrapure water systems for gas turbine/combined cycle power plants will
account for only 25 percent of the total. One reason is that the size of
the ultrapure water system for a combined cycle power plant is only half the
size of the system for a coal-fired power plant of similar output.
The consumables and aftermarket is dominated by coal-fired power plants.
Replacement pumps and valves, water treatment chemicals and improved
instrumentation expenditures by Chinese, U.S. and other major coal-fired boiler
operators will account for 70 percent of the total.
Large coal-fired boiler construction programs in India, Vietnam and Indonesia
will boost the world market in the next five years.
The forecast for new systems and consumables is found in
N029
Ultrapure Water: World Market.
Each new coal-fired power plant is tracked in 43I
Utility People.
Each gas turbine combined cycle power plant is tracked in 59EI
Gas Turbine and Combined Cycle Supplier Program.
The Top 200 Purchasers Buy More Than 50 Percent Of The World’s Industrial Air
and Water Monitoring Equipment
The largest users of industrial air and water monitoring equipment are also the
industries which are most concentrated. A few oil and gas
companies produce most of the oil and gas. Large power companies produce
most of the electricity. A few large electronics companies produce most of
the semiconductors and flat panel displays. In fact, Samsung is a leader
in both products.
Due to the government ownership of wastewater plants in many countries and the
growth of third party operators such as Veolia and Suez, the water and
wastewater industry is also relatively concentrated in terms of decision makers.
Monitoring equipment suppliers sell directly to some large users and sell
through distributors to others. The percentage purchased by the large
users is rising and calls for more focus on this segment by the suppliers.
This is the conclusion reached by McIlvaine Company in N031 Air and Water
Monitoring: World Market.
The 2015 industrial air and water monitoring sales will exceed
$10 billion. Municipal water plants will be the largest purchasing sector
followed by municipal wastewater and then power.
The McIlvaine Company has created a program for suppliers to maximize sales to
the largest purchasers. It combines the air and water monitoring report
with tracking of prospects and projects.

Harm from CO2 vs. Other Pollutants
An editorial in the January 2, 2016 New York Times was titled “The Dirty
Truth About ‘Clean Diesel’.” It documents deterioration in air quality in
Europe as a result of a program to increase the use of diesel-powered vehicles
because they emit less CO2 than those powered with gasoline. The
substantial increase in NOx and fine particulate emissions are
leading European policy makers to belatedly view “diesel as a devil’s bargain.”
China has just started a $20 billion pipeline to transfer clean coal gas to
cities across the nation. The hope is to eliminate the smog caused by
burning solid fuels. So China has concluded that increasing CO2
in order to reduce NOx and particulate is worthwhile.
Every pollution control decision may not be a “devils bargain” but there is a
negative aspect. It may just be cost but typically the reduction of one
pollutant increases another. Water purification is an example.
Substantial energy is needed to purify water with reverse osmosis. The
investor has decided that increased CO2 is offset by the clean water
value.
Informally the world is functioning with a common metric to measure all harm and
good. Every government, business and personal decision involves use of
this metric.
The problem is that the metric values differ widely among decision makers.
The decision to donate to a charity or buy a new coat is individualized based on
life quality perceptions. Life quality, in turn, is shaped by tribal
values and differing views on discounting future values.
The European facing vehicle smog vs. CO2 at home will have a
different preference than if asked to choose between CO2 and smog for
China. CO2 causes global but not local harm. Tribal values
cause us to look at every decision through a prism of our own self-interest and
then the interests of our tribe (family, city, country, etc.).
The well fed protected American will more likely put more value in creating a
better life for grandchildren than the Syrian refugee who can justifiably
discount any future value.
McIlvaine has attempted to create a decision system with a harm metric which
fulfills the true goal of individuals to maximize life quality and not quantity.
