July 8, 2013 -- Research and Markets recently released its new report, "Water & Wastewater Treatment Equipment Market by Types (Disinfection: Chlorine, UV, Ozone; Filtration: Granular, Adsorption, RO, MF, UF; Desalination, Testing), By Applications (Municipal, Industrial), & By Geography - Global Trends & Forecasts To 2018."

The report provides a comprehensive review of market drivers, restraints, opportunities, challenges, and key issues in the market. The market is further segmented and forecasted for major regions, such as North America, Europe, APAC, and Rest of the World (ROW). The top players of the industry are profiled in detail with their recent developments and other strategic industry activities.

The report covers commercially used water and wastewater treatment equipment for: disinfection, filtration, distillation, and water testing. APAC is the fastest growing region for water and wastewater treatment equipment due to high demand in developing countries such as China and India. Europe and North America have high revenue for technologies used in industrial processes and gradual shift in municipal sector is observed in recent years.

Various technologies are carried out for water and wastewater treatment in municipal, industrial, and other processes depending upon the parameters to be restricted such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa, suspended solids, salinity, etc. The widely used technologies are coagulation, disinfection, distillation, filtration, chemical treatment, and sedimentation.

Water and wastewater treatment is essential in to maintain its quality in consumption for drinking, daily public use, industrial processes, medicine, etc. There has been decline in fresh water resources in quantity as well as in quality due to increased water pollution in recent years.
