Asian revenues to exceed $7 billion by 2008
news business Asian revenues to exceed $7 billion by 2008
Voith Siemens scoops its biggest ever contract
According to a recent report, Asia will purchase water and wastewater treatment chemicals in 2008 valued at US$7.4 billion. This will represent 36% of the world market, up from 32% in 2001. This forecast is included in the online report, Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals: World Market by the McIlvaine Company, .
Voith Siemens Hydro Power Generation Shanghai has been awarded a contract to supply five Francis turbines with 711 MW each for the Laxiwa hydropower project in China.
Development Program to utilize the hydropower resources in the western region of China and transmit the energy to the eastern areas. The first unit is scheduled to be commissioned in 2008.
The contract volume is approximately 65 million. This is the largest contract Voith Siemens Shanghai has ever received. After completion in 2011, the Laxiwa project will be the biggest hydropower station along the Yellow River.
Also, Voith Siemens Hydro has expanded its North American activities with a new operating unit, Voith Siemens Hydro Power Generation Inc., in Canada. Focusing on business development, project management and project administration, the unit is working on the Mercier and La Tuque projects. The existing unit in Ontario, Canada has been renamed Voith Siemens Hydro Power Generation Services.
Municipal water treatment plant operators will be the biggest purchasers. By 2008, Asian municipalities will be buying chemicals with a value of more than US$1.6 billion. Asia, with rising GDP and with over one billion people without access to treated drinking water, will be increasing its use of treatment chemicals. The second biggest purchaser of treatment chemicals will be the power industry. By 2008, world purchases will be US$3.5 billion, of which Asia will account for US$1.4 billion. Coal-fired power plants consume more treatment chemicals than gas-fired plants as corrosion inhibitors protect boiler tubes. Asia is planning more new coal-fired plants than all the other regions combined.
The impact of the Kyoto protocol has made some figures uncertain, but the report maintains that replacing coalfired plants older than 20 years (operating at 31% efficiency) with new coal-fired plants (with 45% efficiency), will be the most cost effective option for CO2 reduction. By these means, Western Europe coal-fired capacity will increase from 154 GW in 2004 to 164 GW in 2012. Coal-fired plant capacity in Eastern Europe will expand from 60 GW this year to 70 GW in 2012. In addition, some existing plants will be replaced in keeping with environmental stipulations for new EU members.
The Laxiwa hydropower project, located at the upper stream of Yellow River in Qinghai Province, is part of the National Hydro Power

Flow control specialist FCX has opened modern new premises in Cergy Pontoise, France. This is the latest stage of its merger of Flowserve, Copmat Voglin and Sarmef to form FCX France.
Torque Tension Systems Ltd (TTS) has won a major order to provide hydraulic equipment to the US$250 million Alaskan Pipeline project. The UK-based company, which specializes in the design and manufacture of hydraulic equipment for the oil and gas industry, won the order with help from UK Trade & Investment — the Government organization that provides support services for UK companies trading overseas.
Technology development company, Delgue, has signed a Letter of Intent with Carmel Energy Inc. The agreement allows the Arizona-based company to use its new crude oil pumping technology on a Carmel Energy crude oil lease. Deluge will install and operate 80-120 wellpumping systems.
Dosmatic has established an office in Bangkok, Thailand. Known as Dosmatic Asia Co, Ltd, the office will provide sales and after-sales service, and technical support to the growing and strategically important Asian Pacific region.
Operations at Cergy, Nanterre and Andilly have all been relocated to the new facility as part of the firm's merger plan. The new facility includes a state of the art assembly and testing area for FCX France, which will be used to test completed automated valve packages. As part of a major effort in France, the FCX Group has also entered into exclusive distribution agreements with the relevant Flowserve businesses for the sale of its products in France, including brands such as Argus, Atomac, Audco, Automax, Durco, Gestra, Limitorque, McCanna and NAF.

In fact, according to another McIlvaine report, coal is destined to play a bigger role in future power generation, as world capacity is set to reach 1450 GW by 2012. Among the factors that suggest a greater growth for coal and less for gasturbines include: the high price of natural gas and the cost of environmental controls for coalfired plants will be less than anticipated.

John Wilkinson, sales director for TTS Ltd explains, "The basic function of any oil transportation system is to move products safely, efficiently and with minimal adverse environmental impact. The operators of the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) proved that the hydraulic tensioning system designed by TTS could not only meet, but also surpass their expectations for performance on safety and reliability.”
Brian Hageman, president of Deluge Inc. said small oil companies supply about 25% of the crude oil for the US. This capacity can be doubled or tripled with the Deluge technology. "The US could become a net exporter of crude oil if it get serious about producing the oil it has in existing reservoirs," claimed Hageman. "But it will take new technologies like the Deluge Thermal Hydraulic Engine to attract the needed investment to extract oil out of our proven reservoirs."
This move is due to increasing levels of business in the region over the past year. This also enables Dosmatic to improve its communication with local businesses as well as taking into consideration local language and culture requirements. Mr. Peter W Acutt, vice president of sales, commented that "Dosmatic’s strategy here is in keeping with its policy of employing local staff. These people are well qualified and equipped to develop and serve local markets.”
