Description

Global Water Treatment Chemicals Industry: Supply Chain Resilience



Water treatment chemicals play a significant role in water pre-treatment for municipal and industrial use and the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater for environmentally safe disposal. The growing popularity of chemical-based mobile water treatment services, installation of zero liquid discharge and minimal liquid discharge infrastructures, and the need for potable water of adequate quality will contribute to increased demand for water treatment chemicals.

However, the distribution network for water treatment chemicals faces complex challenges, including the risk of natural disasters and pandemics, regulatory changes, and market fluctuations. Any disruption caused by these events in the supply of water treatment chemicals will have significant repercussions on public health. An effective and robust supply chain of water treatment chemicals is essential for public health and environmental sustainability. This report explores the resilience of the water treatment chemicals distribution network, emphasizing the importance of adapting to potential disruptions and building a robust system capable of withstanding unexpected challenges.

This study covers various chemical types, including coagulants, flocculants, activated carbon, pH conditioners, disinfectants, and fluoridation chemicals. It assesses key strategies and best industry practices through case studies to enhance the resilience of these chemical types. Resilience in the water treatment chemicals distribution network involves proactive measures to identify risk parameters and develop mitigation strategies. It includes distribution network optimization, supplier diversification, and the adoption of digital technologies for real-time monitoring and decision-making.

The study discusses the significance of stakeholder collaboration, including chemical manufacturers and water treatment plants, in fostering resilience. Incorporating sustainable practices, such as using environmentally friendly chemicals and energy-efficient processes, is also considered an essential component of a resilient distribution network.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
