Defoamers Market Dynamics
Driver: Significant growth in water treatment infrastructure
Increasing investments in water and wastewater treatment operations has positively influenced the defoamers industry over the past few years. Rise in water treatment operations is likely to drive demand for defoamers, owing to considerable contribution of defoamers in process improvement. The use of defoamers in water treatment applications is predicted to bolster due to increasing presence of surface-active molecules in industrial wastewater.
Complex chain surfactants are added in industrial and household cleaning products to improve their performance. However, filtration of these surfactants in wastewater causes foaming, as they are difficult to break down through biological processes. Foaming in water treatment process significantly hampers the treatment operations and discharge quality. Appropriate defoamers designed with desired surface properties can address the growing concern of foaming in the water treatment industry. They are widely applied in water treatment processes to mitigate foaming and thereby meet the receiving stream quality standards. Treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater stream helps in reduction of pump cavitations, prevention of loss due to overflow, improvement of sanitation and safety, filling of containers to capacity, and improvement in mixing and blending process. Defoamers destabilize the foam in wastewater by reducing surface tension. They destroy foam in boilers and cooling towers, industrial effluents, household sewage, and rainwater overspill. Defoamers optimize the sludge dewatering process. Furthermore, they facilitate the clarification, filtration, thickening, and floatation process.
Driver: Rising demand in pulp & paper production
Rising demand from printing and packaging industries is predicted to fuel the pulp & paper production over the forecast period, leading to growing number of pulp & paper mills across the globe. The global paper production base is expected to shift to the emerging Asia Pacific region, from the mature Europe and North America regions. Furthermore, Latin America and Eastern Europe are also predicted to experience promising growth in pulp & paper production.
Defoamers have wide usage in pulp & paper production. Several mechanical factors such as leaky seals on pumps, high-pressure pumps, and agitation lead to foam formation in pulp & paper mills. Moreover, various chemicals used in paper mills such as acid sizing agents and rosin sizing agents are responsible for foam creation. Foams in pulp & paper mill create numerous issues such as deposit formation, decrease of pump effectiveness, water drainage, chemical drainage, downtime to cleaning system, and development of bacteria. The usage of defoamers helps in addressing these concerns. They improve drainage systems by reducing foam formation through “knock-down” effect. In addition to reduction of unwanted foam formation, defoamers enhance water drainage from pulp mate, lessen loss of process chemicals, and increase equipment capacity. Defoamers are used in Kraft black liquors, sulfite stocks, and effluent treatment in the pulp & paper industry. Thus, defoamers usage is expected to increase with rise in pulp & paper production.
Restraint: Stringent regulations
Organizations such as such as U.S. FDA, U.S. EPA, USDA, and European Commission have enacted several laws to regulate the composition of defoamers. The organizations have specified the usage limits of various components in defoamers formulation. The U.S. FDA has mentioned the concentration or amount at which various components including silicone compounds, stabilizer, thickening agent, and other additives are to be used. Stringent regulations imposed by several regulatory organizations have negatively affected the defoamers market. Manufacturers thrive to meet the stringent regulatory standards, which entail to high cost of production and quality control.
Defoamers are used in the processing of various food & beverages. Various food items including soft drinks and packaged foods contain defoamers. As a result, defoamers based on harsh chemicals used in foods have the potential to cause health hazards. Growing awareness among people regarding the adverse health effects of packaged foods is anticipated to hamper the growth of defoamers market over the forecast period.
