Water Treatment Chemicals Market - Trends and Forecasts(2010-2015).

Water Treatment in Soft Drink Industry

Water treatment is the procedure of removing impurities or contaminants from the water either by using organic methods such as settling the water, filtration, Boiling or by using some chemical processes.

Water treatment in Soft Drink

As we all known that soft drink industries have to undergo the government policies and other criteria regarding the quality of its content, So the water treatment plays an important role in Soft drink industry. To ensure the water impurities are not there in water the different chemical compounds are used for treatment of water.

the different types of water treatment chemicals used are:

• Algaecides - Copper Sulphate, Iron Salts, Rosin Amine Salts, Benzalkonium chloride
• Anti-foams -To remove the mass of bubbles from the soft drinks.
• Biocides - Chlorine, Chlorine dioxide, Chloroisocyanurates, Hypochlorite, Ozone
• Boiler water chemicals -
  The chemicals which are used for following are Boiling water chemicals.
  · Oxygen scavenging;
  · Scale inhibition;
  · Corrosion inhibition;
  · Anti-foaming;
  · Alkalinity control.
• Coagulants - Aluminium Sulphate, Iron(Ferrous) Sulphate
  
• Corrosion inhibitors - Corrosion is a general term that indicates the conversion of a metal into a  soluble compound.
• Disinfectants - Chlorine, Chlorine dioxide, Ozone, Hypochlorite
• Neutralizing agents - sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH), calcium carbonate
• Oxidants - Hydrogen Peroxide
  
• pH conditioners-lowering the pH is the addition of hydrogen chloride, in case of a basic liquid. An example of bringing up the pH is the addition of natrium hydroxide, in case of an acidic liquid. To adjust pH levels Ca(OH)2 is applied as co-flocculent.
• Resin cleaners - sodium chloride, potassium chloride, citric acid and chlorine dioxide Scale inhibitors.

Considering above water treatment chemicals the Corrosion and scale inhibitors chemical types are having largest market with 43%  of total market share.

Alternative to Chemical Treatment:

Besides the chemical treatment for soft drink water the Non-chemical treatment methods are also sharing the good market response. These Non Chemical treatments include methods such as ultra-filtration and ultraviolet disinfection that are most commonly used techniques in soft drink industries because they remove impurities easily as compared to the chemical methods.

But there are certain lagging or disadvantages for Non chemical treatments...

1) Huge investment in capital cost
2) Operation and maintenance cost is much higher than chemical treatment.
3) cost of chemical processing is less as compared to the cost incurred by advanced technologies.

Water Treatment Chemicals Market:

The usage of water treatment chemicals in soft drinks market is going to reach around 216 million Kg in 2015, which was recorded as 181.9 million Kg in 2010, possessing the growth rate of 3.5% from 2010 to 2015.
Considering overall market for Water Treatment Chemicals Market North America has the largest market for water treatment chemical and it is responsible for around 37% of the overall market recorded in year 2010. After North America, Europe has the second largest market for water treatment chemical sharing 33% of overall market and Asia-Pacific is having 21% market.
