Water treatment chemicals are chemical compounds used to remove impurities from water. The consumption of water treatment chemicals in various applications such as municipal and industrial water depends on the source of water; which can be sea water, ground water, and municipal drinking water. The demand for water treatment chemicals is influenced by various factors such as water availability, quality of water and usage pattern, presence of pollutants, government policies, and trade-offs among the various chemical compounds.

The consumption of water treatment chemica
