Water Treatment in China

Water Treatment in China

Water treatment in China to lead world in growth



For the past several decades, China has registered faster economic growth than any other large nation. Until recently, however, water usage in China has been fairly indiscriminate, with little attention paid to misuse and pollution. Although water use has become more efficient and treatment techniques have become more widely used in recent years, China still uses much more water to produce a ton of paper or steel than do industrialized nations in Western Europe, the United States or Japan. Industrial users who had once just discarded wastewater without regard for short- or long-term environmental impact have begun to comply with more assertive regulations for effluent discharges. Water supplied by municipal providers -- which still leave a significant share of the Chinese population unserved -- has generally been either untreated or undertreated. Even water deemed “fully treated” is usually not safe to drink without first being boiled, although efforts to improve the reach of the Chinese water infrastructure and the quality of the water it delivers have been substantial.



The newfound commitment to better water management practices has boosted demand for water treatment products to almost the ¥20 billion mark, and will continue to build on exceptionally strong gains despite minimal changes in overall water usage. Although industrial expansion will continue at a globe-leading pace and urban population increases will continue as people move away from agricultural areas and into metropolitan areas, improvements in efficiency and reduced agricultural water usage will offset increased industrial activity and municipal water demand. Even so, water treatment product demand will register outstanding growth as food and beverage processors seek to improve finished product quality, papermakers reduce water expenditures by treating water for reuse, municipalities strive to supply safe, high-quality water to their citizens, and consumers look to home filtration gear such as sinktop systems and carafes with activated carbon units to improve the flavor and quality of water in their homes.



Industrial use leads; residential, commercial uses to see fastest growth



Industrial applications account for the majority of water treatment product demand in China. Pulp and paper production, electric power generation, petroleum applications, and food and beverage processing are among the largest industrial outlets. These and a number of other markets, including electronics manufacturing and metals processing, are all projected to post healthy growth through 2012. For example, although overall water use in papermaking is being sharply reduced thanks to reuse programs and equipment improvements, significant usage of wastepaper as a fiber source and higher rates of water recycling will boost demand for treatment chemicals and equipment. Municipal water treatment will also post strong growth, as China works to supply water to a larger percentage of its citizenry while making dramatic improvements in overall water quality and wastewater treatment rates. The smaller residential and commercial segment is also projected to register fast growth, although it will continue to be dwarfed by the industrial and municipal segments. In addition to the aforementioned home filtration equipment, strong growth is anticipated for such applications as recreational water treatment in tourist locations, and the small but fastgrowing pool and spa market.
