Flocculant-related standards are constantly improving, and the industry is developing well

Flocculant refers to a type of substance that can reduce or eliminate the polymerization stability of dispersed particles in water, thereby causing the dispersed particles to agglomerate and flocculate into aggregates for removal. There are many types of flocculants. According to different chemical compositions, flocculants can be divided into inorganic flocculants, inorganic polymer flocculants, organic flocculants, organic polymer flocculants, microbial flocculants, composite flocculants, etc.; according to different sewage treatment capabilities , which can be divided into decolorizing flocculant, oil removal flocculant, phosphorus removal flocculant, COD flocculant, heavy metal flocculant, etc.

The application fields of flocculants are relatively wide, and the main fields include papermaking, metallurgy, food, textile, petroleum, chemical industry, medical treatment, environmental protection, urban sewage treatment, sludge treatment, construction mud treatment, etc. Among them, sewage, sludge, and mud treatment are the largest application areas of flocculants. Currently, under the background of continuous strengthening of domestic environmental protection supervision, the scale of their treatment is constantly expanding, which in turn drives the demand for flocculants to continue to increase.

Taking the sludge treatment market as an example, the domestic sludge treatment market will exceed 80 billion yuan in 2022, a year-on-year increase of nearly 15.0%. In this context, according to the “Flocculant Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center Shows that my country’s flocculant market size will reach 8.95 billion yuan in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 6.6%. In the future, as domestic environmental protection efforts continue to strengthen and water pollution prevention and control efforts continue to increase, the scale of flocculants will continue to expand. It is expected that by 2024, its market size is expected to exceed 10 billion yuan, and the industry has broad development prospects.

After development in recent years, the number of flocculant companies in my country has continued to increase, relevant standards have continued to improve, and the industry has shown a good development trend. In terms of company status, domestic flocculant companies mainly include Jianghai Environmental Protection, Fumiao Technology, Aisen Flocculant, Baomo Biotechnology, Jinan Zhongbei, Tianrun Chemical, Hengju Chemical, Jiangsu Nantian, Daqing Refining and Chemical, and Hongao Biotechnology wait. At present, my country has become the largest producer of flocculants in the world, and the competition in the flocculant market is fierce.

In terms of standards, since the early 20th century, in order to promote the continuous development of the domestic flocculant industry in the direction of standardization, my country’s flocculant-related standards have been continuously improved. Current standards include seawater microbial flocculant HY/T 0335-2022, waste acid sewage treatment Use flocculant T/ZJGFTR 01-2020, technical requirements for underwater non-dispersible concrete flocculant GB/T37990-2019, etc.

Industry analysts said that flocculants, as important chemicals required in sewage, sludge, and mud treatment, are currently used in domestic water treatment Driven by the rapid development of the sludge treatment industry, its market demand continues to increase and its scale continues to expand, and the industry shows good development prospects. At the same time, under the background of continuous improvement of domestic flocculant-related standards, the flocculant industry is continuously developing in the direction of standardization, and the industry is developing well.
