Types of Industrial Water Treatment for Your Business

Regardless of where it comes from, water that is used in industrial processes must be treated prior to use in industrial systems. If your company wishes to avoid the harsh effects of contaminated source water, then it’s important that you incorporate industrial water treatment into your daily processes.

Here are a few types of industrial water treatment that could benefit your business:

If your business wants to avoid the dangers of using hard water, industrial water softeners should be used in order to turn hard source water into soft water, making it safe to use.

Industrial water softeners work by removing scale-forming minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, from source water in order to prevent scale build-up and system fouling. When industrial water softeners are implemented, businesses can expect reduced chemical consumption and energy usage, extended equipment life, and lower maintenance needs and costs.

Industrial water filtration is used in industrial systems in order to protect equipment and systems from fouling and corroding as a result of solid and mineral contaminants. If left unfiltered and untreated, contaminants in source water will reduce system efficiency, corrode equipment, and cause system malfunction. Some benefits of industrial water filtration are reduced effluent and maintenance costs, longer-lasting equipment, and reduced employee exposure to hazardous chemicals.

Reverse osmosis is a process that is frequently employed in industrial systems in order to remove dissolved particles, minerals, and organic materials from source water to make it safe for industrial use. Industrial reverse osmosis works by pushing water through a semi-permeable membrane under high pressure, forcing unwanted contaminants out and leaving behind pure, filtered water. Some of the benefits of using reverse osmosis in an industrial water treatment system are reducing water and energy usage, as well as wastewater and discharge expenses.

Many businesses use the process of deionization as a part of a larger industrial water treatment system. Deionization removes ionized minerals, salts, and total dissolved solids (TDS) from source water through the process of ion exchange. In order to remove contaminants, deionization controls the charge of hydrogen and hydroxide ions in source water, removing total dissolved solids. Culligan Industrial Water offers two versions of deionization systems: automatic deionization systems and portable exchange deionization systems, and each can be customized for your business’s needs.
