Water is the basic necessity of life. Drinking water, while pivotal to human existence, continues to get scarce. While industrial, environmental and military domains can witness ways and means of reducing water usage, drinking water has no such alternative. The accelerated growth in population, predominantly in developing economies, will push planners for replenishable water processing mechanisms and sources. In arid regions exposed to abundant coastlines, such as the Middle East andNorthern Africa, SWRO is the only viable alternative. The higher CAGR for municipal applications can also be attributed to the growth in portable and residential RO system adoption. With the economies of scale building up in regions such as the APAC, as well as in the traditional mature markets in the North American region, the household sector will continue to adopt sleek RO systems. The municipal sector of water purification market includes households (many of which are included in the municipal market, and
many others in rural areas dependent on their own wells or bottled water); recreational users, mostly dependent on transient noncommunity water systems or bottled water; and other segments such as the travel industry, where cruise ships constitute an important market for RO systems to provide onboard water supplies for long cruises, to treat wastewater prior to ocean discharge, and for other uses.Conceptually included in this segment is the portion of the bottled water market using RO to generate natural spring water.
Industrial water planners continue to see greater merit in the adoption of RO for ultrapure water provisioning, especially in cutting edge industries such as semiconductors. Their growing prevalence is the passport for RO system adoption. On the whole, the industrial use sector includes all of the process water for chemical industry, power generation and boiler feed water, medical/pharmaceutical, and food and beverage water needs. Required water quantity varies widely according to industrial end use. Over the past several years, water treatment firms serving industrial water markets have reported increased costumer interest in sustainable technologies. Faced with rising costs and uncertainty regarding the financial future, many businesses are beginning to reassess their water use and production processes. While end users have become more conscious of the need for cost cutting and better efficiency, many are still wary of committing to new investment. Compared to conventional processes for water recycling, RO typically uses less energy, requires less capital outlay, and takes less space. Water savings can be quite substantial, with as much as 40% to 70% of water being reused with no additional effluent costs.
While agricultural and environmental domains presently lack the critical mass for large-scale RO system adoption, greater awareness about the eco-friendly characteristics of RO water will eventually pave the way for large-scale adoption. While waste-disposal continues to be a crying issue in densely populated regions, few systems offer the sustainable modus operandi of water recycling as solid as RO. The agricultural and environmental end-use sector includes wastewater reclamation; leachate; wastewater
from remedial activities of oil and gas field-produced water. Leachate refers to rainwater that becomes contaminated as it seeps through mine tailings or landfill. During oil extraction, steam produced from groundwater is pumped beneath the earth of oil fields to liquefy the thick product for easier pumping.
Defense planners have been quick to latch on the ability of RO systems to tap just about any water source. Portability of RO systems will also further its adoption in the defense domain. Defense and municipal sectors are thus instrumental in furthering the cause of low-pressure RO systems. Military water usage is concerned largely with potable supplies for human consumption, although there are other requirements as well, including personal hygiene, vehicle maintenance, etc. In general, fixed military installations in the U.S. and abroad use municipal-type treatment/supply systems, usually their own, or sometimes connected to civilian sources.
