viii Profile of the International Membrane Industry
Introduction
Profile of the International Membrane Industry- Market Prospects to 2008
is a third edition of Elsevier's series of profiles of the filtration membrane
business, the first of which was published in 1996. It is also part of wider
set of profiles that deal with the filtration and other fluid handling
industries published by Elsevier.
As the term is generally understood, there are two broad types of
membrane:
(cid:12)9 those designed to keep two distinct zones completely separate,
allowing no fluid passage through them. Examples include
geomembranes, the damp proofing under a house, and, the base of a
landfill site. Such membranes are not covered by this Profile; and,
(cid:12)9 those designed to permit passage through them of a fluid, or some
components of a fluid, under controlled conditions. Such mem-
branes are fully covered by this Profile and represent its total content.
1.1 Scope of Profile
This Profile of the International Membrane Industry - Market Prospects to
2008 is basically a market study. It has been researched and compiled
through personal and telephone interviews with key manufacturers,
literature searches, detailed analysis of published statistics, and desk
research using Elsevier Advanced Technology's extensive in-house
database covering the international filtration and separation industry.
The research was undertaken between May and October 2003. As a
result of this research, a set of market volume estimates has been made
based on the state of the market in 2003. Forecasts are then provided
through to 2008.
The Profile deals with all the kinds of separating media that are now
