Trends for Filtration 1
• Rapid increase in world demand for filtration systems

– Shortage of drinking water, waste water replenishment into aquifers, pre-treatment of
industrial waste water, clean water for manufacturing / plant utilities
• Suppliers (e.g. Siemens, GE, Koch, Pall, etc.) offering filtration skids with improved
performance and longer warranties
– Based on their knowledge and ownership of the filter technology
– While most filtration skid control code design is mature and done with basic PLCs, suppliers
will still consider some of the control algorithms to be intellectual property
• Filtration Skid OEMs are segmenting their offerings into basic low cost (component
class) skids and customized, high-end skids
– Especially on the cookie cutter, low-cost systems…control system acquisition price is very
important
– The more custom / larger skids tend to require more elaborate SCADA systems and utilize
more advance control systems

Trends for Filtration – cont’d 1
• With reduced engineering staffs, time saving tools for design and implementation are
becoming more critical
– E.g. faceplates, code libraries / AOI’s, ease of integration / data collection for VFD’s,
transmitters, valves, etc.
• Remote connectivity - important tool for reducing support costs

– Many companies have not upgraded the control system to streamline remote support
capabilities
– Automatic emailing status of skid is desired by most companies interviewed, but very few
understand how to implement
• Data is becoming more important

– End users are requesting data base / historian to track performance / faults, especially in
regulated industries (Food & Bev, Pharma, O&G, Power)
– OEMs can use runtime data to guarantee performance, improve skid performance /
capability, improve diagnostics and create revenue stream for MRO sales

What is Membrane Filtration? 6
• Filtration: /fil·tra·tion/ (fil-tra´shun) the act of changing a fluid by passing it through a filter or
other material that prevents passage of certain molecules, particles, or substances.
• Membrane Filtration - A semi permeable membrane that allows certain molecules to pass through
that are smaller than the membrane pores, while rejecting other molecules that are larger than the
membrane pores
Crossflow Filtration 6
• Crossflow Filtration
– The liquid to be filtered is pumped tangentially across
the membrane surface
– As the liquid moves across the membrane, rejected
components will continue to be washed away while
good parts of the liquid will pass through the membrane
as clean permeate
– Remaining concentrate is returned to the tank to be
recycled across the membrane to create more clean
permeate
• Periodic Back Washing (PBW)

– Small amounts of the clean permeate is pushed in
reverse back through the membrane wall restoring high
filtration rates and extending the process lifetime.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) 6
• Most widely used crossflow technique, producing the finest level of

filtration of all membrane processes
• Water moves from the concentrated side to dilute side
– Normal osmotic pressure would move water from dilute side to concentrated side
• RO rejects most components other than water and operates at a
pressure of 250-1000psi.
– 99% of dissolved minerals are removed; 60-80% incoming water is recovered
• Typical application is to provide water (which is almost free of solids,

salts, organics and colloids) to subsequent fine polishing processes such
as ion exchange
Top Industries Served: Desalination, Power, Water / Wastewater,

Semiconductor, Pharmaceutical
Reverse Osmosis Example Applications 6

BOD = biological oxygen demand
Nanofiltration (NF) 6
• Less common
• Nanofiltration is the label provided to
membranes with performance between
reverse osmosis (RO) and ultrafiltration (UF)
• Molecules that are readily rejected are
typically a nanometer or 10 angstroms in size
Top Industries Served: Desalination, Power, Water / Wastewater,

Semiconductor, Pharmaceutical
Nanofiltration Example Applications 6
Application Permeate Concentrate (Retentate) Benefits of NF
Whey / whey permeate Salty wastewater Desalted whey concentrate Allows the recovery of lactose & whey
protein concentrate with reduced salt
content
Textile Dyes Water, salts, BOD, COD, and NF is used to desalt dyes resulting in a
color higher value product
Caustic cleaning Caustic cleaning solution BOD, CODE, suspended Allows caustic cleaning solution to be

water costs
Water Softened water Hard water Potable water production. Softened
water reduces scaling on equipment &
heat exchange surfaces
Antibiotics Salty water product Desalted, concentrated NF produces high value pharmaceutical
antibiotics products
BOD = biological oxygen demand
COD = chemical oxygen demand
Ultrafiltration (UF) 6
• Pores range from 10Å to 0.2 microns.

• Process typically rejects organics over 1,000
molecular weight (MW) while passing ions and small
organics.
– Ex: Colloidal silica is easily removed with
ultrafiltration.
• Common applications include ultrapure water
systems in the pharmaceutical, power and
semiconductor industries. In power plant
applications, ultrafiltration is a likely candidate when
a once-through system is operating without a
reverse osmosis system.

Microfiltration (MF) 6
• Lowest cost membrane technology

• Pore size ranges from 0.1 to 10 microns (largest pore
sizes)
– Filtration skids run at a much lower pressure than other filtration
types, typically operating at between 3 – 100 psi.
– For the same flow rate (Gallons / Day), requires less power to
pump the liquid through the system.
• Microfiltration membranes allow molecules of the size
of salts, sugars, and proteins to pass through while
rejecting molecules of the size of bacteria.
• Commonly used to sterilize liquid reagents such as cell
culture media
– Often these liquids contain heat labile components that make
sterilization by heat (autoclaving) inappropriate.
• Can also be used as pretreatment to reverse osmosis.

Filtration Skid Equipment Overview 6
What’s going on?

• Influent (contaminated or diluted liquid) is
pumped under pressure through filters
• Dead Filtration
– Used for removal of contaminants (including many
single use applications)
– Influent is pumped through the membrane and the
permeate (what passes through the filter) is OEM’s concerns
captured • Pressure on inlet and exit of filter
• Cross-flow Filtration - Too high will damage filter; too low reduces efficiency
– Used for removal of contaminants - Note: Pressure is a good indicator of when to backflow (clean)
filters to extend life
– Also used to raise the concentration level of a
diluted solution - Sometimes measure temperature, PH, salinity and conductivity if
feeding boiler or used for clean water processes
– Permeate (what passes through the filter) is
removed from the solution and the rejected (now
more concentrated) is recirculated to further
What’s used?
increase concentration to the desired level • PLC/PAC for main logic
• VFD’s for pumps
• Low end HMI/OIT for operator interface and logging /
displaying data (pressures, temp, etc.)

Competitor 1: Siemens 7
Complete Automation Supplier
Strengths Weaknesses
• Complete portfolio of controllers – from Micro • Not the same code for PCS7 and S7-200.
S7-200 to S7-400. • Perceived lack of global co-ordination
• Siemens also markets a DCS (PCS7) • Complacent in many large accounts
• Integrated Architecture approach (limits RA • Reduction in Force hit Siemens hard throughout
differentiation) N.A.
• Full line of Transmitters
• Scalable offering
• Price position
• Time to Market
• Strong relationship with European OEMs
• True Global Supplier, dominant in every region
RA Tactics to beat Siemens:
• Siemens Water is one of the largest global filtration skid producers – leverage the fact that Siemens is our
mutual competitor when talking to skid OEMs. Understand that Siemens Water (US Filter) is a good RA
customer as well.
• Promote the benefits and ease of use with PlantPAx / Integrated Architecture
– True re-use of code between CompactLogix and ControlLogix.
• Leverage Global OEM team resources to assist with innovation and time to market on new designs
• Market & develop Industry-specific products & solutions for Filtration Skids
• Leverage the brand preference of RA at several Global End User and OEMs to drive into the OEM Market
• Leverage OEM focused transmitters (836E, 837E,839E and 840E)
Competitor 2: Emerson
Focused on Industry Domain Expertise and 7
End User Process Control System Spec
• Marketing of DeltaV and Ovation Process • Limited Access to Training for OEMs
Control Systems • While they are strong on Main Process Operation control,
• Comprehensive Process Library and process balance of plant skids are not feasible due to lack of
control capabilities scalable control system
• Large Installed base in Power, O&G and – Very Expensive Solution for most Filtration Skids
Expanding in Life Sciences – Hardware can be competitive but controller tag licensing
• New S-Series I/O touts Electronic Marshalling becomes very cost prohibitive for skid OEMs
and has single point I/O module granularity • Not a complete automation supplier
• Can provide Control Hardware at prices • OEM Cannot test skid as fully functional before shipping
competitive with other control system – Only Half • Weak local inventory in most cities
the DCS Cost Story though • Lack of technical resources available – College Students,
• Complete Line of Transmitters Trade Schools, Large SI Community, Distributors, etc.
RA tactics to beat Emerson:
• Emerson leverages end user to pressure OEM in to installing I/O on skid and divulging Intellectual Property (control
know-how), allowing Emerson or their integrator to write skid control program on end user’s main control system
– RA Leverages OEM Team, local distributors, Colleges & Trade Schools, Large SI Community to let OEM and End User
choose delivery partner.
– By using PlantPAx solution based on a cost effective, scalable, open communications platform, skid ships fully functional
and can easily connect to most supervisory systems – exchanging information and follow control references, if needed.
• RA provides complete DCS functionality in a multi-disciplined (process, discrete, high speed, motion, etc.) scalable
architecture that offers true plantwide control from one control platform.
– Most plants already have some RA controllers throughout facility
– Reducing required resources (Engineering, Maintenance, Spare Parts, Etc.)
Competitor 3: Koyo / Automation Direct 7
Focused on Lowest Priced Control System
• Comprehensive range of PLC’s, OIT’s and • Little to no mandate or specification to use Koyo /
VFD’s focused on low-end controls market Automation Direct products by end users or machine
• Adequate Performance Capabilities for low buyers
end Filtration skid market • No real global support
• Competitive price position for the system
• No Local Resources available to work with OEMs, as
• Free plc programming software – downloadable all transactions are completed over internet
from web
• Fairly quick delivery – order over web • Inability to provide local kitting for control systems
• Appealing to the ANTI-Big company OEMs • While they claim improved software functionality,
whether using RSLogix500 or 5000, our development
environment has many time saving tools.
RA Tactics to beat Koyo / Automation Direct
• Depending on OEM requirements and the industries they serve, promote either component based products
(MicroLogix, Component HMI, PF4/40) or midrange solutions (CompactLogix, PVPlusCE, PF40)
• Leverage RA Infrastructure to reduce sales, support and development costs
– Global OEM Team to minimize learning curve and time to market
– Accelerator programs / code libraries to decrease development time
– Inventory, kitting and resources from local distributors (leverage our logistical advantage)
– Local RA Resources (technical and commercial resources)
– Preferences of Large End User base improves order hit rate
– Assist with Overall TCD measurement and reduction program
– Leverage OEM focused transmitters (836E, 837E,839E and 840E)
Competitor Key Takeaways – 7
How to Sell Against
• Leverage our differentiators
– RA is a major player in this market (MicroLogix, SLC500 and CompactLogix)
– Integrated Architecture with multi-disciplined control (Process – DCS Functionality, Sequential, Safety, Motion, and drives)
– We have a significant price advantage against DCS providers
– Encompass Partners to complete our offering (E+H, HiProm, Control Station, etc.)
– Support of Open Standards (EtherNet I/P, ControlNet, DeviceNet, FDT/DTM, ProfiBus, FF, etc.)
– Information-enabled equipment (WAGES, OEE, Historian etc…)
– Use RA Global OEM Team message – expanded focus on filtration skids
• Dedicated team globally & new product development focused on OEMs
• Develop Libraries / Templates over time
– Use RA Global Support message
• RA is a capable market leader with a large installed base
– Leverage End-user contacts and team with them to coordinate OEM specifications
– For Life Sciences – Promote GEMS module possibilities
• Understand the fact that GE & Siemens are Major Players in this market
– Many of their competitors do not use their controls because of the ownership position (we have a competitor in
common)
• Do NOT bring it up with those customers other than if encountered, ask if it is a concern for them
– GE Water and Siemens Water (US Filter) are significant users of RA
Call to Action 7
• Target customers in your region and seek out new and emerging companies building
filtration equipment
• Focus on helping your OEM realize the benefits of Integrated Architecture to achieve
faster throughput and faster time to market
• If OEM has a significant high volume / low end skid offering, be prepared to talk about
Connected Components as our offering (especially if they use Idec, Omron, Mitsubishi
or Koyo)
• Utilize our channel partners’ supply chain excellence to help the OEM improve capacity
and asset utilization
– E.g. kitting, vendor managed inventory, panel outsourcing
• Utilize the OEM team to assist your OEM with RA technology adoption and to help your
OEM achieve faster time to market with their new designs
