The next wave: Earth Observation Science and the evolution of Brine Management & ZLD
27 Aug 2024
Earth Observation Science (EOS) is a rapidly growing field, with applications ranging from water risk assessment to sustainability reporting. Satellite data can be used to monitor drought and flood risk, water quality, and leak detection. The market for EOS solutions in the water sector is estimated to reach $2 billion by 2027. Utility and technology providers are increasingly interested in this space. This market potential is explored in detail in BlueTech’s newly published report on EOS, which examines the technologies, market size, and key players. The report is especially relevant for municipal leaders, chief technology officers, R&D managers, and sustainability managers.Brine management and zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) are also important topics in the water industry. While the market for these solutions has grown more slowly than expected, the market opportunity is currently estimated at $600 to $800 million. Technological advancements have led to the development of smaller capacity systems, now being applied in industries like textiles and food & beverage, largely driven by stricter environmental regulations.Another significant aspect of the discussion is the technology shakeout observed since the last report in 2018. Some technologies, such as forward osmosis, have evolved to find new applications outside traditional ZLD use cases, like concentrating fruit juices in the food and beverage industry. For listeners interested in exploring these topics further, the latest reports on Earth Observation Science and Brine Management & ZLD are now available for download. WEFTEC 2024 in New OrleansBlueTech will be hosting several events at WEFTEC, including the Innovation Pavilion and the CrockTank session, where emerging technologies will be showcased.Don’t miss the Jamming for Water session on Saturday night, October 5th, and the Client Breakfast Briefing on Tuesday, October 8th.Reports & ResourcesEarth Observation Science Report: Download the ReportBrine Management & ZLD Report: Download the ReportWEFTEC 2024: Registration--Presented by BlueTech Research®, Actionable Water Technology Market Intelligence.
