This third edition of Profile of the International Filtration and Separation Industry looks at all aspects, both quantitative and qualitative, of the market for filtration and separation equipment, as it exists in early 1999. It must be understood that the defining phrase should actually be read as "filtration and other mechanical separation", because filtration is a separation process, and because there are separation processes that are not covered by this report, such as distillation or adsorption. Unlike the two previous editions of the Profile, this report covers all parts of the filtration and separation industry, to better reflect the actual business undertaken by the suppliers listed in the directory section. This means that engine filters of all kinds are covered, as well as commercial and domestic water and air filters. Chapter 1 continues with an overview of the world economy. Chapter 2 covers the international filtration and separation market, with a summary of major trends, market size figures and forecasts to 2003, as well as trade data. Chapter 3 looks at the main end-user markets for filtration and separation products. Chapter 4 is a brief review of the latest trends in filtration and separation technology. Chapter 5 profiles 40 leading international companies in the filtration and separation business. Chapter 6 is a directory of more than 1000 companies and organisations involved in the business. The details given include address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail and website addresses, as well as parent company, main products, named key executives, number of employees and sales figures where possible.

Throughout the world there is evidence of mounting interest in marine resources and new maritime industries to create jobs, economic growth and to help in the provision of energy and food security. Expanding populations, insecurity of traditional sources of supply and the effects of climate change add urgency to a perceived need to address and overcome the serious challenges of working in the maritime environment. Four promising areas of activity for ‘Blue Growth’ have been identified at European Union policy level including Aquaculture; Renewable Energy (offshore wind, wave and tide); Seabed Mining; and Blue Biotechnology. Work has started to raise the technological and investment readiness levels (TRLs and IRLs) of these prospective industries drawing on the experience of established maritime industries such as Offshore Oil and Gas; Shipping; Fisheries and Tourism. An accord has to be struck between policy makers and regulators on the one hand, anxious to direct research and business incentives in effective and efficient directions, and developers, investors and businesses on the other, anxious to reduce the risks of such potentially profitable but innovative investments.The EU H2020 MARIBE (Marine Investment for the Blue Economy) funded project was designed to identify the key technical and non-technical challenges facing maritime industries and to place them into the social and economic context of the coastal and ocean economy. MARIBE went on to examine with companies, real projects for the combination of marine industry sectors into multi-use platforms (MUPs). The purpose of this book is to publish the detailed analysis of each prospective and established maritime business sector. Sector experts working to a common template explain what these industries are, how they work, their prospects to create wealth and employment, and where they currently stand in terms of innovation, trends and their lifecycle. The book goes on to describe progress with the changing regulatory and planning regimes in the European Sea Basins including the Caribbean where there are significant European interests. The book includes:• Experienced chapter authors from a truly multidisciplinary team of sector specialisms• First extensive study to compare and contrast traditional Blue Economy with Blue Growth• Complementary to EU and National policies for multi-use of maritime space
