Mirror, mirror on the wall which is the most popular
purification company of them all? To answer this question, we first need to
determine which companies we will put in the scope of our micro research and
the winners are; Merck (Merck Millipore), Cabot, Calgon, Jacobi, Pentair, BASF,
Evoqua, Pall, Suez Environment, 3M. The mentioned companies are all active in purification and some are especially very active water purification companies.
We could then have looked at the CAGR (Compounded Annual Growth Rate), forecasts, company financial results, company outlooks, import and export statistics, the trends in air polution, water purification, gas purification and filtration and other megatrends that could be of influence on the selected companies and then break this down per region segment of application or market. Sounds good, however we mentioned “could” and we have selected to look to it in a different way and that is which company is most popular under the searchers on the internet. We could also have selected other companies then the 10 mentioned companies, which could have led to a list of more than 100 companies.
The good news, there are powerful tools available which you can use for various reviews, this time we selected the Alexa page rank 90-day trend information to determine the page rank in the Alexa global internet engagement. The companies rank as below, starting with the number 10 and ending with the number 1. (let us be clear, all these results are at this moment much better than this website)

That said, some of the companies in the list are hardcore purification companies and some do a lot of other “things”, so it is not a 100% apple to apple comparison.
