Industrial Valve Market to Exceed $70 Billion By 2019
The sales of industrial valves will exceed $70 billion in 2019. This is
the latest prediction of the McIlvaine Company in
Industrial Valves: World Market. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

East Asia will account for 33 percent of the total market. NAFTA will be a
distant second with sales of less than $13 billion. The rapidly growing market
in Asia is shaped by a number of factors.
·
Investment in coal to liquids and coal to syngas projects: China is building
both direct liquefaction and indirect liquefaction plants. End products
are fuels and chemicals. Each plant has many valves to control water, products
and treatment chemicals. Korea and Australia are also pursing these projects to
convert coal to liquids and gases including LNG. Valve requirements are
challenging due to the pressures and cryogenic temperatures.
·
Coal-fired power plants: East Asia is moving forward with coal-fired power
plants. China already consumes 3.3 billion tons of coal per year but is
targeting 4.8 billion tons. Valves are used for intake water, cooling, boiler
feedwater, flue gas desulfurization and wastewater treatment.
·
Municipal drinking water and wastewater treatment. The migration of East
Asians to cities and the infrastructure to meet their needs is ongoing.
·
Continuing growth in production of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, foods, dairy
products, and fish: China has the largest aquaculture industry in the world. In
fact, fish production equals that of the ROW combined.
·
Mining: China is a leader in iron ore production as well as coal.

Cross-flow Membrane Market to exceed $13 Billion In 2019
Sales of cross-flow membrane systems and modules will exceed $13 billion by
2019. This is the latest forecast in

The forecasts include reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration and microfiltration
systems and replacement modules. Nanofiltration revenues are included in
the ultrafiltration segment. Desalination is the largest single market.
The Middle East has been the largest purchaser but other areas are finding that
seawater is an important resource. Municipalities will be spending $2.6 billion
for cross-flow membrane systems by 2019. Microfiltration and
ultrafiltration membranes remove more micro organisms than the traditional
gravity filter. So for health reasons, cross-flow membranes are steadily
gaining market share.
The power industry will be increasing its cross-flow membrane expenditures as it
standardizes on zero liquid discharge systems. These systems eliminate any
wastewater discharges. China is one of the country’s leading the way in
this approach.
The pharmaceutical industry uses cross-flow membranes in processing.
Solids are removed from broths and liquid products. Water for injection into
humans is treated in reverse osmosis systems to assure purity.

$2.9 Billion Market for Stainless Steel in Flow and Treatment Control Equipment
In 2015
Purchases of stainless steel by manufacturers of flow and treatment control
equipment will be $2.9 billion next year. This forecast does not include storage
tanks, piping, ductwork and other ancillary system components. These forecasts
are part of
Air/Gas/Water/Fluid Treatment and Control: World Market
published by the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Flow control including pumps and valves represent almost two thirds of the
total. Sales of these components will be $139 billion next year. The
suppliers will purchase stainless materials exceeding $1.9 billion. In
some cases, the purchases will be direct but often through suppliers of
forgings, castings and fabrications.

The vessels used to support liquid filtration devices are constructed of
stainless steel where there are hygienic or corrosion considerations.
Centrifuge design includes the additional challenge of rotating parts. The
scrolls and discs revolve at high speed. Stainless disc type centrifuges
are used for wine, food, dairy and chemical applications. The scroll type
centrifuges are used for sludge dewatering and for many chemical applications.
Reverse Osmosis housings are frequently constructed of stainless steel.
Microfiltration and ultrafiltration housings used in desalination are also
typically stainless steel.
Stainless steel will continue to gain market share in the flow and treatment
market as operators seek higher performance and reliability. For more

“Municipal Drinking Water Treatment” Hot Topic Hour October 16, 2014
McIlvaine has created a free website
Drinking
Water Filtration - Continuous Analysis.
A series of webinars will serve to further populate this website and make it an
important decision making too for municipalities.
The tried and true method for purifying drinking water has been the use of
gravity media filters. In the last decade, cross-flow membranes have been
an alternative selected by municipalities seeking protection against small
microorganisms. Chemicals and ultraviolet disinfection are also widely
used. The webinar on October 16 will explore each of these technologies
and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
The devil is in the details. With gravity media filters is air scour,
water backwash, or a combination the best way to keep the unit clean? What
are the options regarding underdrains? How do systems utilizing an
intermediate layer of gravel between the treatment media and the underdrains
compare to those which retain the media directly? Should an online
particle counter be used to monitor performance? If cross-flow membranes
are used, should the medium be microfiltration or ultrafiltration? What
about the tradeoffs between UV, onsite chemical generation and purchased
chemicals? How do chemicals aid the filtration process?
We are asking viewers to submit data to populate this site and to review the
posted data prior to the webinar. This will ensure a high level
discussion. Contact: Bob McIlvaine at
rmcilvaine@mcilvainecompany.com.
