Power Plants Will Spend $3 Billion for Pumps This Year
Operators of fossil and nuclear power plants will spend over $3 billion in 2014 for pumps to move water, slurries and condensate. East Asia will be the leading purchaser. This is the conclusion in

The market in Western Europe is primarily a substitution of other forms of power for coal-fired power plants. For example Flowserve, received multiple orders for key pumping systems for the Lichterfelde Cogeneration Power Plant. The orders were booked in the first quarter of 2014. Located in Germany, the 300-megawatt (MW) plant replaces an old coal-fired power plant. The Flowserve pumping systems at the heart of this power plant use heavy-duty, radically split, multistage between bearings pumps for boiler feed service (BFP) and canned vertical turbine pumps for condensate extraction (CEP). In addition, Flowserve will also provide the pumps for the district heating process.
In East Asia the big market is new coal-fired power plants. "KSB has been awarded contracts by two Chinese power plant constructors to supply four new-generation boiler recirculation pumps. The pump sets are destined for the two new Chinese power stations: Laiwu in the province of Shandong and Taizhou in the province of Zhejiang. The boiler recirculation pumps from the LUVAk series are designed for a pressure of 400 bar and an operating temperature of 425°C".
The market in the Middle East involves mainly oil-fired plants which also desalinate seawater. KSB is providing equipment to the YANBU 3 power station in Saudi Arabia that also comprises a seawater desalination plant. For this project, the company will supply over the next years mainly 15 large high-pressure boiler feed pumps with variable speed drives of a total value far beyond €30 million.
From startup in 2017, the power station fired with heavy fuel oil and located at the shores of the Red Sea will generate more than 2700 MW of electricity at five units. It will be used to supply electricity to the west of the country, for example, to cities like Jeddah, Mecca and Medina. The associated seawater desalination plant, which will make use of the power station's electricity and accumulated steam, is to provide 550,000 cubic meters of drinking water per day.

The semiconductor industry is on a growth spurt and that is reflected in revenues for new rooms and in the amount of additional space. This year the semiconductor cleanroom space will increase by 1.62 million ft2 and require investments in cleanroom hardware totaling $634 million. This is the latest forecast in
World Cleanroom Markets published by the McIlvaine Company.

By the end of 2014, there will be over 210,000 semiconductor employees working in the clean space. Much of the growth is coming from Asia. This represents about 10 percent of the two million employees working in all cleanrooms including flat panel, pharmaceutical and other industries.
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) reported the worldwide sales of semiconductors reached $78.47 billion during the first quarter of 2014, marking the industry’s highest-ever first quarter sales. Total semiconductor revenue in 2013 reached $318.1 billion, up from $303 billion in 2012.
China, Taiwan and Korea are enjoying strong sales. Meanwhile, Japan continues to be mired in a slump, with chip revenue for the area declining a steep 17.9 percent.
Worldwide semiconductor capital equipment spending is projected to total $37.5 billion in 2014, an increase of 12.2 percent from 2013 spending of $33.5 billion, according to industry analysts.

Power plants are facing huge expenditures to meet new wastewater effluent guidelines and coal combustion residue rules which are still being finalized. The webinar next Thursday at 10 a.m. CDT is designed to help utilities understand the issues and to help them with their decisions to address these new rules. The following panelists will be offering their insights:
William (Bill) Betke, Director, Business Development, Coal Ash, GSE Environmental
Dale Timmons, R.G., Business Development Program Manager, NAES Corporation
Douglas J. Dahlberg, Project Associate, Civil Support Services, Sargent & Lundy LLC
Mark Rokoff, National Practice Lead for CCR's, URS Corporation
Proactive discussions rather than passive listening will be the modus operandi. The panelists will lead but participants are asked to familiarize themselves with data on the dedicated CCR and Effluent website
CCR and Effluent Continuous Analyses.Another unique feature of this initiative is to use the Global Decisions Positioning System™ (GDPS) analysis technique. There are a number of decisions to be made. They can be likened to stops on a trip. The route is complex because the information learned at one stop requires back tracking to the previous stop and applying the newly learned information. McIlvaine is simulating the role of a GPS in guiding the decision maker on this complex trip. Here is the route map.
Decision Trees in ELG-CCR GDPS Route Map:
ELG Regulations
CCR Regulations
The ELG regulations will be issued first and will shape the CCR decisions, so this is a starting point. However, it may be necessary to review the ELG regulations in light of any CCR regulatory insights. If the utility is also installing FGD systems there will be a major impact on both effluent and CCR. Bottom ash and flyash handling and wastewater treatment are all part of the route.
