Overview
The focus of investment in desal and reuse is changing. The boom in municipal
desalination and reuse which quadrupled the size of that market over the past
decade has mostly played itself out. Now the smart money is on industrial
water - the fastest growing sector of the water market today.
Water technology companies need to position themselves now to take advantage
of this growth - or miss out. ‘Industrial desalination and water reuse’
is your key to this market. It pinpoints the technologies, industries,
geographies and the markets which enjoy the greatest potential and gives you
the information you need to act.
Industries covered:
- Oil and gas
- Petrochemicals
- Power
- Mining
- Food and Beverage
- Pharmaceuticals
- Pulp & Paper
- Microelectronics

Table of Contents
‘Industrial desalination and water reuse’ is divided into three sections, over
200 pages:
1. Overview of market drivers
This section looks at what's driving the market, and the geographies which are
most under pressure to invest in water efficiency and improved wastewater
treatment:
- Understanding industrial desalination and water reuse
- Global water risk and industrial water usage
- Water stewardship as a driver for investment
- Wastewater regulation
- Water as a driver of performance
- Procurement models
- The financial proposition
- Global market forecast: provides volume and value data showing the size
and expected growth rate of the industrial desalination and water reuse market
2. Key Technologies Explained
- Seawater desalination: where and why are industrial water users
turning to seawater desalination, and what are the trends in the membrane and
thermal technologies they are using?
- High purity process water: value and technology trends in the
ultra-pure water systems including reverse osmosis, ion exchange, and
electrodionisation
- High recovery desalination: why is demand for high recovery
wastewater desalination systems growing so quickly, which industrial processes
are driving demand, and how is technology shaping the market?
- Low pressure membranes: which industries are showing most interest
in ultrafiltration and microfiltration as a solution to their process water
and effluent treatment needs?
- Other advanced wastewater treatment technologies: how demand for
improved water efficiency is driving technological development in biological
treatment, physical/chemical separation and disinfection.
3. Market Sector Profiles
- Oil and gas: From the Canadian oil sands, to coal seam gas in
Australia, and enhanced off-shore oil recovery, water treatment is emerging as
a key driver of value across the energy sector. This section pinpoints the
specific market niches which offer the richest opportunities for water
technology companies.
- Petrochemicals: the downstream petrochemical industry is moving
more towards emerging economies like India and China as well as upstream
producer economies in the Gulf and North Africa. Most new refining capacity is
being built in water scarce areas, prompting a revolution in the way water is
managed in this sector.
- Power: electricity generation is the largest industrial water use.
It's also responsible for some of the most challenging wastewaters. This, plus
the growing power demands of emerging economies and the need to increase the
efficiency of steam generation in mature economies, creates a recipe for solid
market growth.
- Mining: the process water needs of the mining industry are
increasingly pressed up against social and environmental limits, forcing
mining companies to make desalination and water reuse a central part of their
strategy.
- Food and Beverage: this is the largest industrial market for water
technology by total expenditure. It is also the one which is most under
pressure to improve its water stewardship.
- Pharmaceuticals: global healthcare expenditure is expected to grow
faster than the global economy as a whole for the foreseeable future. It also
has some of the most complex water treatment needs seen anywhere in the
industrial sector.
- Pulp & Paper: a massive user of water, and potentially a
significant source of pollution. Although the majority of plants are located
in water rich regions, producers are being pushed towards reuse by tougher
environmental regulation.
- Microelectronics: the most significant and challenging market for
high purity water. Process water requirements are continuing to become more
exacting, while stewardship concerns are making companies rethink their
approach to water efficiency and effluent treatment.
