South America for growth and diversity

摘要

One of the biggest areas of growth for the pump industry over the last two decades has been in the South American and Latin American markets. This expansion is partly thanks to the NAFTA agreement, changes in customs regulations and the desire of major manufacturers to diversify. Currently, oil and gas, mining and power generation are leading the demand in South America, and these are areas that are increasing as the region is rich in natural resources and needs energy to keep moving forward. Throughout the region, dosing/metering pumps are mostly used in chlorination processes for water treatment but there is also a big demand for anti-incrustants and pH regulators - for example, sulphuric acid in the fertirrigation process. Fertirrigation is an agronomic practice that provides precise timed and spaced supplies of readily assimilated chemical elements in pursuit of preset production goals.
