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. The directory includes equipment and media manufacturers and suppliers worldwide. The companies are also indexed by product type. Chapter 7 includes contact details for filtration and separation associations and societies, an Internet address book, and a listing of other filtration and separation-related Elsevier Advanced Technology titles.
