Market Definition

Wastewater treatment is the industrial process of converting wastewater into soft water to make it usable for industrial processes. In wastewater treatment, the chemical is required to remove microbial contaminants such as protozoa, viruses, unwanted bacteria, and other suspended solid particles from the water. 

U.S. Industrial Water Treatment Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, opportunities, challenges, and restrains. All of this is discussed in detail below:

Drivers

• Increasing Demand for Wastewater Services from the Power Industry

Power industries are where industrial water is needed the most, as these industries do not need fresh water. However, as per the requirements, untreated raw wastewater cannot be applied for processes in the energy industries. The water consists of various organic and inorganic components within it. For this reason, the water should be adequately treated to be usable for sectors. This can be a huge driving factor for the industrial water treatment market in the U.S. Not only is the need for wastewater increasing, but the number of power industries is also rising, enabling higher demand for water treatment services in the upcoming years.

Wastewater treatment is applied in industries for various reasons. Along with these drivers, reusing water treatment is also one of the most important sustainable goals. The power industry is reusing wastewater to produce energy. Other than that, most of the energy-producing industry has a huge area. The whole area must be ready to fight any emergency fire situation. Therefore, there is also a need for treated wastewater that is contaminant-free and not potable.

• Growing Awareness Regarding Waterborne Diseases

The pandemic of COVID-19 made the public and government highly aware about health in developed countries including U.S. and people are well aware of airborne and waterborne diseases. Due to this, several health campaigns were held. People in U.S. have been taught about the effects and prevention of waterborne diseases. This growing awareness is one of the biggest drivers for U.S. industrial wastewater treatment.

People are aware of the untreated wastewater produced by industries. Several harmful microorganisms and chemicals can contaminate the water, which can be hazardous to the environment. Many stringent government regulations are also being released to prevent the growth and prevalence of water-borne diseases. Furthermore, various surveillance programs have been initiated for Industrial waste water. Because of the reasons above, various industries will invest in and modify their wastewater treatment facilities and technologies.

Opportunity

• Advancement and Adoption of Greener Sources for Water Treatment in Industries        

Water contamination is growing as a result of industry and urbanization. In addition, the sanitation problem is growing daily in most developing countries. Water use has increased in the various product manufacturing industries, leading to waste water formation. The waste water includes toxic chemicals and sludge, which is supposed to be separated through water treatment. The industries use various chemicals for the treatment of the waste water which is generated during manufacturing. There is increasing popularity of green or Eco-friendly technical methods for treating industrial water such as using the microalgae and its component for waste water treatment. Waste water treatment using microalgae has several positive applications over conventional methods as it is useful in wastewater treatment. The green technical methods are very cost-effective and more efficient for treating the waste water produced by industries in the country.

Manufacturers have the opportunity to produce microalgae solutions for the treatment of wastewater with the green technical method. As the method is cost-effective will have more demand by the industries for the waste water treatment, which will help the manufacturer earn more revenue in coming years.

Restraints/Challenges

• Harmful Effects of Water Treatment Chemicals

Mass consumption and disposal into various industries have increased the volume of industrial and domestic water. This has created the requirement for effective advanced wastewater treatment as wastewater contains a variety of constituents such as particles, organic materials, and emulsions depending on the chemicals used in various industries. However, few types of the chemicals are used during the wastewater treatments, forming different kinds of by-products by reacting between chemicals and pollutants. These by-products can cause chronic exposure, such as drinking water ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact, along with cancer and non-cancer risks to human health.

Generally, biocides are used to treat waste water in several industries, killing living organisms such as bacteria, algae, insects, and rodents. These biocides products are highly toxic, carcinogen, endocrine disrupting properties and may adversely affect human health and the environment. Along with properties that kill non-pathogens, biocides are dangerous for humans. The use of biocides in the industry for wastewater treatment affects the workers' health in the factory as biocides cause effects on the eyes, skin, respiratory system, nervous system, and other organs, which can also result in building tumors. The reaction may lead to a person's chronic disease or even death.

• High-Quality Chemicals are Required for The Separation of Wastes from Water

Water is involved in numerous stages of manufacturing various products in different industries. During these subsequent stages and usages, the water gets polluted with hazardous chemicals and substances, due to which treatment of the water becomes difficult and resulting in the discharge of the toxic water in the water bodies such as sea by the industries and affect the sea life and different water ecologies.

Paint industries use chemicals for manufacturing products. In this process, the generation of toxic chemicals takes place. These toxic chemicals are later released into the water bodies without proper treatment, which may lead to the loss of aquatic life. The chemicals which are used in the manufacturing of the paints are very difficult to separate. These difficulties lead to the high cost of Industrial waste water treatment. In the automotive sector, several metals and chemicals are used to manufacture cars and machines, generating hazardous liquid waste in the factories. Water separation from these liquids needs high-quality chemicals to be treated, which can exceed the manufacturer's budget.

Recent Development

• In May 2022, according to the article published by National Science Foundation (NSF), Rice University engineers developed an electrocatalyst of ruthenium atoms atop a mesh of copper nanowires to recover ammonia from wastewater, with funding from the National Science Foundation. The high-performance electrocatalyst can extract ammonia, which is often used as an industrial fertilizer, from low quantities of nitrates in industrial effluent and polluted groundwater with near-perfect efficiency.
• In October 2023, Solenis finalized the acquisition of CedarChem. The purchase is consistent with Solenis' direct go-to-market strategy of improving chemical and wastewater treatment products and service offerings for clients.
