The Polish water treatment chemicals market is expected to reach a size of USD 307.56 million in 2018 and USD 390.23 million by 2023, at estimated CAGR of 4.88% during the forecast period (2018-2023). Major factors driving the market studied are - growing demand from the power and municipal industries in Poland. Hazardous nature of hydrazine is expected to hinder the growth of the market studied. The market has been segmented by product type, and end-user industry.
Growth in the Power Industry Driving the market
Increasing electricity generation, primarily from thermal-based power, is boosting the demand for water treatment chemicals in the country. In 2017, thermal power accounted for more than 78% of the total electricity generated, in Poland. With the increasing demand for power in the country, the regulations on the wastewater has also increased, in comparison to the past years. Moreover, the power industry has taken needed measures and implemented them, in order to meet this demand, which has, in turn, boosted the demand for water treatment chemicals in the near past. Furthermore, in December 2017, Enea, a Polish state-controlled energy company opened a coal powered plant in Poland, which is largest in Europe. This scenario has also positively impacted the demand for water treatment chemicals in the country.
Scale Inhibitors Dominating the Market
Scale is a precipitate that forms on the surface of water treatment towers, as a result of the precipitation of soluble solids that become insoluble as temperature increases. This, in turn, causes metallic corrosion that affects the functioning and maintenance of the cooling water towers. This deposition increases corrosion rates, causes loss of production, restricts water flow, and interferes with heat transfer. In the boiler water treatment, the usage of untreated water brings a number of soluble salts in the boiler. These remain soluble in cold water, but with the rise in temperature inside the boiler, the salts become insoluble. As a result, carbonates and bicarbonates are formed from calcium and magnesium chemicals that are dissolved in water. However, it is to be noted that complete removal of deposits from boilers is not possible with a limited blowdown. Chelation depends upon the chemical binding action of calcium, magnesium and iron, and maintenance of solubility. Chelation is expensive in comparison to phosphate treatment. Chelants are used mostly in boiler feed water rather than inside boiler. The use of chelant is advisable when several minimum requirements regarding liquid composition are satisfied. The oil and gas and petrochemical industry is one of the largest users of scale inhibitors in Poland.
