BCC Research: Latest in Membrane and Separation Technology Market Research
Wellesley, MA (PRWEB) December 20, 2013 -- Growing populations, increasing demand for water, and diminishing freshwater sources as a result of environmental degradation and drought have created shortages of water across the world. According to BCC Research (http://www.bccresearch.com), recent advances in membrane filtration and separation technologies have virtually revolutionized numerous industrial processes from biotechnology development to purification of municipal water supply.
During the past three decades, desalination systems have emerged as effective solutions for transforming saline, brackish, and contaminated water into useable and/or potable products. In recent years, technical improvements in membrane-based reverse osmosis desalination have increased energy efficiency of the desalination process and reduced RO operating costs. Experts estimate that advances in membrane technology and the development of energy recovery devices, coupled with the co-location of RO plants with power-generating facilities, have resulted in an 80% cost reduction for desalinated water.
Stringent government regulations, increasing environmental and sustainability concerns, relentless consumer demand, and the need to replace aging or outdated existing equipment will shape significant growth in this market for the foreseeable future.
