Frequent water pollution monitoring is especially important

The Huanjiang Maonan Autonomous County of Guangxi Province reported on January 9, 2013 that a local water pollution incident occurred in the village of Hanxiang, a local water source, which caused an abnormal smell and turbidity in the drinking water sources of the 4 Tuen Mun, and the masses could not drink. The water conservancy, environmental protection and sanitation and other multi-sector inspections found that manganese and ammonia nitrogen in the water exceeded the standards and did not meet drinking safety standards. According to preliminary judgments, there is a correlation factor between water pollution and a nearby pond and pond. Due to the long-term large-scale use of sugar cane sludge and fish feed, the fishpond has caused damage to the health of residents.

On January 6, 2013, the leakage of aniline from Shanxi Tianji Coal Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd. led to the occurrence of water pollution incidents in the Shanzi River upstream of the Weihe River, forcing the city of Handan City to stop water supply in large areas, and plunging the area within the city of Anyang, Henan. City reservoirs, red flags and other parts of the water. At noon of the same day, Anyang Municipal Government issued a message to remind people along the route to suspend the use of water sources such as Hongqi Canal, Anyang River, and Yuecheng Reservoir for human and livestock drinking and farmland irrigation.

At 7:40 pm on January 10th, 2013, a serious water pollution incident occurred in Zhujing Town, Jinshan District, Shanghai. A bulk chemical ship was incomplete during the loading process at the digging port. Closed, causing some chemicals to escape into the river, causing pollution of the surrounding waters. The incident directly led to the tragedy of 23 people admitted to hospital because of inhalation of irritating odors from chemicals. Nearly 8,000 villagers did not hesitate to go out to buy a bottle of clean mineral water in more than two miles. Under the mad rush of buying, supermarket mineral water sold out. The pollution incident caused the local community to panic.

Frequent water pollution incidents have aroused widespread concern among the public and the media. Provinces and autonomous regions have also issued notices on the prevention and control of water pollution. He said that while increasing the leadership and supervision of water pollution prevention and control efforts, it must also seriously solve and control the water pollution problems in key areas and achieve the discharge of pollution sources. As a necessity to detect water pollution - water quality monitoring equipment, it fully exerted its strength at this crucial moment, bringing a new round of "blowout" to the instrument market. What will happen to the future development of water quality monitoring equipment? The following editors do some analysis of their market prospects.

Analysis of China's current water resources, it is easy to find that the total shortage, the lack of matching of water and land resources, increasing water pollution, highlighting the lack of urban water shortage and other issues are increasingly significant. The problem of water pollution has become one of the most pressing issues for people. In water pollution prevention and control work, water quality monitoring is an important means of pollution warning, pollutant monitoring, and treatment effect assessment, and has received the attention of the environmental protection department. The on-line water quality monitoring instrument as a continuous monitoring tool bears responsibility for providing accurate monitoring data and monitoring reports, and plays an increasingly important role in environmental monitoring work.

In China, the environmental monitoring industry has formed a system with independent characteristics. The prospects of the water quality monitoring industry are also very promising.

I. Overview of industry development

Traditional environmental water quality monitoring mainly focuses on manual on-site sampling and laboratory instrument analysis. Although the analytical methods in the laboratory are complete, laboratory monitoring has the disadvantages of low monitoring frequency, large sampling error, scattered monitoring data, and failure to promptly reflect changes in pollution status. It is difficult to meet the needs of governments and enterprises for effective water environment management. From the development trend of foreign environmental protection monitoring and international advanced experience, online automatic monitoring of water quality has become an effective means for relevant departments to obtain continuous monitoring data in a timely manner. After only a few minutes of data collection, the water quality information of the water source can be sent to the server of the Environmental Analysis Center. Once the concentration of a certain pollutant is observed to be changed, the environmental supervision department can immediately take corresponding measures and sample and analyze it. It can be seen that the biggest advantage of the online water quality analysis system is that it can quickly and accurately obtain water quality monitoring data. The application of automatic water quality monitoring system helps the environmental protection department to establish a large-scale monitoring network to collect monitoring data to determine the pollution status and development trend of the target area. With the development of monitoring technology and instrumentation industry, environmental water quality monitoring has begun to develop in the direction of automation, intelligence and networking.

Throughout the development of China's online monitoring system for environmental water quality, after years of development, a continuous continuous automatic monitoring and management system with Chinese characteristics has been established, and a network has gradually been formed.

II. Status Quo and Development Prospects of Environmental Water Quality Monitoring Instruments Market

(I) Market Structure In the past, China's environmental water quality monitoring equipment mainly relied on imports. Since 2000, mature domestically produced equipment began to be widely promoted nationwide. With the nation’s attention to the environmental protection industry and the establishment of an automatic water quality monitoring network system, the number of on-line water quality on-line monitoring equipment manufacturers has grown rapidly. Some companies with independent R&D strength have grown and become famous foreign brands such as the United States Hash and Japan Island. Tianjin and other equipment manufacturers to counterbalance. According to the statistics from the China Environmental Protection Industry Association, the annual growth rate of China's environmental water quality online monitoring industry enterprises has reached 233%, and such companies as Congguang (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd., Hebei Xianhe Environmental Protection Co., Ltd., and Guangzhou Yiwen Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. have been born. Co., Ltd., Yuxing Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. and other industry-leading companies.

However, it is undeniable that companies in the industry are still in the process of active staking and enclosure. The market share of a single company is small, and the market concentration is still low. With the rapid growth of the market, companies with independent research and development advantages and market expansion capabilities will occupy the commanding heights of the market, and quickly occupy the market share, bigger and stronger.

(II) Classification and Development Prospects of Water Quality Monitors Environmental water quality monitoring mainly includes on-line monitoring of wastewater pollution sources and online monitoring of surface water quality. The monitoring of wastewater pollution sources is mainly based on the determination of monitoring factors in pollutants discharged by state-controlled, provincial-controlled, and municipal-controlled pollution sources (such as key polluting industries, urban sewage treatment plants, etc.) according to the amount of pollutants discharged, and the main management departments. For the Ministry of Environmental Protection, surface water monitoring is mainly used to monitor the water quality of river sections, drinking water sources, lakes, and reservoirs. The main management departments are the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Water Resources. In addition, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is also involved in the use and monitoring of urban water resources. Water quality monitoring in offshore waters is mainly managed by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs.

Therefore, it is imperative to develop monitoring instruments suitable for China's national conditions. The relevant experts believe that the water monitoring instruments suitable for China's national conditions should have: cheaper prices, lower maintenance costs; can be used under harsher conditions; convenient for maintenance operations, intelligent, and anti-interference Strong ability; some high-intelligence, high stability, high-precision monitoring equipment is also the development trend of China's environmental protection instruments.

In the future, with the continuous advancement of air and water quality monitoring systems nationwide, the investment in the national environmental protection field will increase substantially. Monitoring equipment companies will attract a new round of development climax, and the entire industry will enter a period of rapid development. It is expected that the next five years The environmental monitoring market has grown at a rate of at least 30%.
