中投(tou)(tou)顧問發布的(de)《2016-2020年(nian)(nian)中國污(wu)(wu)水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)處(chu)理行業(ye)投(tou)(tou)資分析及前景預測報告》中提到：在(zai)工(gong)(gong)(gong)業(ye)污(wu)(wu)水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)方面，未來我國工(gong)(gong)(gong)業(ye)廢(fei)水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)排放(fang)量仍將逐年(nian)(nian)提升，到2020年(nian)(nian)預計(ji)將達到305.6億噸。工(gong)(gong)(gong)業(ye)廢(fei)水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)領域(yu)“十二五(wu)”期(qi)間的(de)總(zong)投(tou)(tou)入將達到8324億元，“十三五(wu)”期(qi)間將進一步提升至(zhi)9722億元。由于工(gong)(gong)(gong)業(ye)廢(fei)水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)覆(fu)蓋行業(ye)廣(guang)，各(ge)子領域(yu)存在(zai)處(chu)理技術的(de)差別，導(dao)致(zhi)各(ge)子領域(yu)壟斷壁壘(lei)較(jiao)(jiao)高(gao)。業(ye)內比較(jiao)(jiao)看好煤化工(gong)(gong)(gong)、石油化工(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)業(ye)污(wu)(wu)水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)處(chu)理等高(gao)難度、高(gao)危(wei)廢(fei)水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)的(de)處(chu)理。就細分市場來看，煤化工(gong)(gong)(gong)行業(ye)水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)處(chu)理有可能成就水(shui)(shui)(shui)(shui)處(chu)理新藍海。

在(zai)工(gong)業(ye)(ye)污(wu)(wu)(wu)(wu)水(shui)(shui)(shui)領域，含(han)油(you)污(wu)(wu)(wu)(wu)水(shui)(shui)(shui)處(chu)理對投資者(zhe)極(ji)具(ju)吸(xi)引力(li)。其主要(yao)(yao)原因是含(han)油(you)污(wu)(wu)(wu)(wu)水(shui)(shui)(shui)處(chu)理量大。同時，含(han)油(you)污(wu)(wu)(wu)(wu)水(shui)(shui)(shui)的(de)(de)處(chu)理仍然存在(zai)技(ji)術難(nan)點，有(you)些技(ji)術環節很難(nan)被攻破。比如聚合物去除、不同地(di)質(zhi)條件下污(wu)(wu)(wu)(wu)水(shui)(shui)(shui)處(chu)理的(de)(de)個性化解決方案(an)等，都(dou)存在(zai)很大的(de)(de)技(ji)術難(nan)度。有(you)時相距500米(mi)的(de)(de)油(you)井(jing)，水(shui)(shui)(shui)中的(de)(de)雜質(zhi)和礦物質(zhi)也會有(you)很大差別。對從事(shi)水(shui)(shui)(shui)處(chu)理的(de)(de)企業(ye)(ye)有(you)很高的(de)(de)技(ji)術要(yao)(yao)求。
