This produced water contains a mixture of different organic and inorganic compounds that are to be separated from that water. Processes like pre-treatment, demineralization, and silica removal must be performed to ensure boiler feed water quality.
• The oil & gas production in the region has been witnessing significant growth in the recent years particularly in countries like Brazil, Colombia, and Peru.
• Hence, owing to the above-mentioned reasons, oil & gas industry is likely to dominate the south America water treatment chemicals market during the forecast period.

Brazil to Dominate the Market
