Truck-Mounted Mobile Water Treatment Plants Fuels Mobile Water Treatment Market Growth
The mobile water treatment market is experiencing a surge in popularity, with portable water treatment plants, including truck-mounted and trailer-mounted systems, gaining significant traction. These truck-mounted systems typically incorporate a reverse osmosis water treatment system to eliminate contaminants like bacteria, viruses, algae, fungi, and man-made chemical pollutants, such as calcium, magnesium, arsenic, chromium, nitrates, chloride, and fluoride, from untreated water. Premium reverse osmosis membranes and high degrees of automation are used in truck-mounted water filtration systems, making them easy to operate and highly maneuverable. On the other hand, trailer-mounted mobile water treatment units are primarily designed for use in the field, natural disasters, water pollution incidents, and other emergencies. Truck-mounted and trailer-mounted water filtration systems provide convenient access to the desired location while also being lightweight and structurally strong. These systems can produce up to 100 tons of purified water per day and operate easily thanks to automated sand filter and RO membrane cleaning, among other features. These factors are contributing to the growth of the mobile water treatment market.
ELW Global, a South African company, received an order for trailer-mounted reverse osmosis water purification equipment from the Gambian Armed Forces in November 2020. The ROWPU 2K, which is widely used in African countries such as Guinea, Senegal, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Chad, has gained popularity. It comes with a built-in 5kVA generator, a potable water bladder of 5,000L, and a UV filter system, among other features such as pumps and testing equipment. The ROWPU 2K produces 2,000L of potable water per hour via reverse osmosis or 5,000L of filtered water and surpasses the World Health Organization's (WHO) potable water standards. This usage of trailer-mounted and truck-mounted water treatment systems is propelling the growth of the mobile water treatment market.
The mobile water treatment market is witnessing growth due to various factors such as the usage of water softeners, which comprise two tanks, one with rock or pellet salt and the other with ion exchange resins. Hard water containing magnesium and calcium ions leads to waste and the formation of hard scales on equipment, mainly in industrial and municipal environments. The chemical softening segment is growing due to the increasing demand for combined clarification and softening operations in a single compact treatment unit, which reduces water alkalinity and hardness. Reverse osmosis technology is highly preferred for removing pollutants like fluoride, pharmaceuticals, arsenic, lead, and pesticides, and reducing water odor, and removing chlorine for improved taste. Reverse osmosis technology finds applications in municipal water purification, seawater desalination, industrial boiler feed water, wastewater treatment, and others, contributing to the growth of the mobile water treatment market in residential and commercial applications.
Ion exchange is a water treatment method that involves substituting undesirable ionic contaminants in water with another less objectionable or non-objectionable ionic substance. This process is particularly effective in removing toxic metals from water, making it a popular choice for water softening to reduce calcium and magnesium content. Consequently, these factors are driving the demand for ion exchange in the mobile water treatment market. Many companies are also using ion exchange to treat water and remove toxic content before disposing of it as waste. Furthermore, strict government regulations concerning wastewater treatment are boosting the size of the mobile water treatment market.
Disk filters consist of multiple disc-shaped components held on a central core. The disks are porous on both sides and are stacked over a perforated inner tube with spacing washers in between, creating a flow space. The use of reliable condensate and polishing systems produces high-quality water, which reduces the transport of impurities such as iron particulates into steam generators. Polishing demineralization uses ion technology to ensure continuous production of pure water. Ultrafiltration treatment is a membrane filtration method that separates solid particles from the liquid source and is often used as a prefilter in other mobile water treatment applications. These factors are driving the growth of the mobile water treatment market.
Key Findings of Study:
The market for mobile water treatment is categorized into three segments, namely offering, application, and end-user. The offering segment is divided into systems and services, and in 2022, the services segment dominated the market. The market is further segmented based on application into clarification, filtration, chemical softening, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, and others. The filtration segment led the mobile water treatment market in 2022. The end-user segment is classified into construction, municipal, agriculture, chemical, and others, with the others segment leading the market in 2022.
