Tap Into the Emerging Wastewater Market With Winters

December 06, 2023


Rising populations, water shortages and growing irrigation demands are driving a worldwide wave of interest in the largely untapped market of wastewater treatment.

Today, over half of all wastewater in the world is not treated. The rest continues to end up in lakes, rivers and oceans. Of the wastewater that is treated, only 11 per cent is reused. Meanwhile, the agricultural sector (the world's largest consumer of clean water) is facing immense pressure to feed growing populations.

These challenges are fast positioning wastewater treatment as a viable solution to the world's water woes. The United States Department of Agriculture, for instance, is looking at "reclaimed wastewater" as a possible way help sustainably raise American agricultural output by 40 per cent over the next 30 years.

USDA scientists say agriculture accounts for 80 per cent of all clean water use in the United States, while only 1 per cent of the world's water is fit for human consumption. Seasonal droughts across the country put even more strain on the farming sector.

It is no surprise that the global wastewater treatment market is expected to nearly double in size over the next decade.

Winters' full complement of pressure and temperature instruments are uniquely positioned to meet this anticipated growth and interest in wastewater treatment and water delivery.

From all-stainless steel PFP 4” gauges to Phenolic PPC 4.5” gauges, we have the market covered for local indication. Winters also offers the D81 Series Isolation Ring - the workhorse of the waste and slurry media being measured. With many material variants and sizes available, the D81 is the ideal annular seal for instrument measurement.
 
We also have an extensive electronics lineup, offering both smart and analog options. These include our WinSMART™ line, LXP transmitters and WPS series of pressure switches for general purpose and hazardous areas. Several models are explosion proof, making them ideal for operating in wastewater environments where flammable methane gas is present.

Once wastewater is treated, Winters offers a full array of lead-free pressure gauges, thermometers and accessories to help deliver clean drinking water to consumers. Our lead-free pressure gauges are NSF 61 and 372 certified, which means they meet many of the international drinking water standards. These include those set by the US Safe Drinking Water Act, the Canadian National Plumbing Code and the National Sanitation Foundation.
