Global Boiler Water Treatment Market 2016-2020

Global outlook of the boiler water treatment market

Technavio’s market research analysts predict the global boiler water treatment market to grow steadily during the next four years and post a CAGR of more than 3% by 2020. This industry research report identifies the increasing demand for electricity to be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the boiler treatment market in the coming years. The rise in industrialization and the constantly increasing population result in a significant increase in the demand for electricity across the world. Several countries around the globe still depend on coal-fired power plants to generate electricity owing to its capacity to provide uninterrupted power supply, which in turn, will drive the demand for power boilers. Additionally, the rise in number of power plant installations in several countries in the APAC and Africa and the replacement of inefficient power boilers, will also drive the demand for power boilers. This will subsequently result in increasing the demand for boiler water treatment systems, propelling market growth.

The use of diagnostic tools for preventive maintenance of boilers will be one of the major trends that will gain traction in the boiler feed water treatment market in the coming years. To predict and identify possible areas of corrosion, scaling, and other faults on a regular basis, several industries have started adopting predictive maintenance technologies such as infrared thermography, ultrasonic noise detection, non-destructive thickness testing, and visual inspection. Since this enables industries to take corrective measures in the boiler water treatment process and maintain the boiler feedwater, the next few years will witness an exponential increase in the adoption of diagnostic tools.

Due to the present climatic conditions, the fresh water content in most geographical locations has seen a significant reduction, leading to an increased demand for the supply of water. The boiler water treatment is used to purify the raw water and provide clean water. To avoid the scale, corrosion or foaming, different types of water treatment procedures are used in different locations. Before the raw water supplies can reach the boiler, the impurities are removed using external treatment. Before the water can be trickled down to boiler blowdown, the water undergoes internal treatment. Few of the key vendors associated with global boiler water treatment market are NALCO, Lentech, and GE Water.
