Comparison of polyacrylamide application at home and abroad

At present, the domestic production of polyacrylamide compared with the advanced level of foreign there is still a certain difference, therefore, it is also necessary to improve the existing production process, improve the technical level, stabilize the product quality, make the product series. Different from domestic polyacrylamide mainly used for oil recovery, the main consumption areas of polyacrylamide abroad are water treatment and paper industry

Polyacrylamide (English abbreviation: PAM) has a very wide range of applications, known as "all industry additives" and "industrial MSG", Food Additives, and has a very wide range of applications. The use of polyacrylamide here do not elaborate too much, today mainly talk about the current polyacrylamide in the domestic and international main application areas, for now, China has become the largest manufacturer of polyacrylamide and the largest consumer use country, the concentration of domestic polyacrylamide manufacturing industry is very high, the industry's top 5 enterprises production capacity accounted for about 54% of the total capacity, In terms of higher industry concentration, it is more advantageous for those leading companies to ensure bargaining power and maintain a high level of gross profit. In China, polyacrylamide is mainly used for tertiary oil recovery.

Different from the domestic polyacrylamide is mainly used for Oilfield Chemicals oil recovery, the main consumption area of polyacrylamide abroad is water treatment and paper industry, and its consumption accounts for more than 80%. Water treatment is the largest consumer market for polyacrylamide, accounting for about 67% of total consumption.

Although the domestic urban sewage treatment rate has increased year by year, there is still a considerable gap compared with the sewage treatment rate of nearly 100% in developed countries. China's sewage treatment plant is only popular to the county seat, and the county seat coverage rate is only 32%, in addition, there are more than 17,000 towns sewage treatment facilities basic blank, the future of urban sewage treatment market space is huge. In addition, polyacrylamide as a standard papermaking additive is also used in the papermaking market. As the world's second largest producer of paper and paper products, the amount of polyacrylamide used in paper making in 2008 was 55,000 tons. The water treatment and paper industry has become a key market for development at present and in the future.

At present, the domestic production of polyacrylamide compared with the advanced level of foreign there is still a certain difference, therefore, it is also necessary to improve the existing production process, improve the technical level, stabilize the product quality, make the product series.
