Rise in Demand for Water Treatment in Industrial Applications:

The growing industrialization has increased the amount of waste in water sources. Wastewater from industries contains metals such as copper, nickel, iron, silver, and mercury among others. The disposal of waste water in the environment is strictly prohibited in many countries due to the presence of the pollutants in the water. Industries are increasingly adopting water treatment process to reduce the pollutants and chemicals and thereby making the water reusable for industrial applications. Water treatment is widely used to optimize most water-based industrial processes, such as cooling, heating, processing, rinsing, and cleaning. Industrial water treatment is used to tackle different problem areas including scaling, corrosion, microbiological activity and disposal of residual wastewater among others. The industrial water treatment can range from relatively compact and straight forward to complex multiunit processes. The wastewater from industries is causing many diseases and polluting the environment with the chemicals. The metals content in the waste water cause health issues such as dysfunction of the kidney, liver, reproduction system, and central nervous system among humans and animals. Sodium hypophosphite is an effective reducing agent for the recovery of Ni, Cu, and Fe among others chemicals. Thus, sodium hypophosphite holds high-growth prospects in the coming years in water treatment applications. The advancements in water treatment technology are growing according to the industry. The mechanical filtration, such as reverse osmosis, is widely employed to filter contaminants in water content.  Some of water retreatment technologies including ozone generators, wastewater evaporation, electrode ionization, and bioremediation are also used to address the challenges of industrial water treatment. Industries including pharmaceutical, chemical, oil & gas thermal power plants and food processing among others use waste water treatment technology for purification process. Increasing number of food processing industries across the globe is expected to drive the market. MEA region is expected to drive the market of sodium hypophosphite because of the presence of number of oil & petroleum players in the region.
