Understanding Industrial Water Treatment

Industrial water treatment is the process of using various filters to remove harmful contaminants from an industry or business’s water supply. Having a poor water treatment solution can set your business back hours of precious time and thousands of dollars. Not choosing the right system can lead to an increase in energy bills and lead to water not being properly filtered.

There are many common issues when it comes to the water usage of an industry including, scale corrosion, and contamination over time. These issues are a big deal for any business that has a large water supply they need to monitor. 

What are the key factors?

Each type of business has a different requirement when it comes to water quality and what type of contaminants they are more likely to come into contact with. This is an important factor when it comes to choosing the right solution that is going to provide the most high-quality water filtered through the system.

On top of that, as we discussed, each industry has specific needs when it comes to water treatment. For example, a pharmaceutical company is going to have a different water treatment need than a business in the food or processing industry. Each has its own unique water treatment solutions needed for the best functioning. 

So, it’s important to look into exactly what contaminants are there that need to be treated and removed from your water supply. This could be anything from heavy metals or organic matter to minerals and bacteria.

Once you’ve determined what contaminants are most common it’s time to research which water treatment solution and system will get rid of them efficiently and properly. You should be able to then determine what size and scalability will best suit your capacity as a business.

Types of Water Treatment Solutions

There are many different options when it comes to specific systems and solutions, each with its process and benefits

  1.  Reverse osmosis is known as being highly effective in removing contaminants. An RO system will provide highly purified water by reversing nature’s osmosis process. The RO membranes work to catch as many contaminants as possible which creates safe water for drinking, testing, and any other uses.
  2. Ion Exchange is more technical and focuses on the removal of more specific contaminants. It is the process of replacing unwanted ions with others and is often paired with another water treatment solution for the most effective contaminant removal. 
  3. Deionization is the complete removal of ions, both negative and positive charges, to create ultrapure water through the use of just electricity.
  4. UV filtration is used to remove bacteria and viruses from your water supply. This is usually effective when paired with another type of water filtration and acts as an extra measure. 

These are just some of the solutions for industrial water treatment and the choice really just depends on your targeted contaminants, cost, and overall effectiveness. So evaluate your water source and determine its current quality and composition then move forward into the cost of each individual solution and what fits within your budget.

It’s also important to make sure that whatever solution you choose complies with industry standards and regulations. Always choose a solution that is energy-efficient and will help reduce operational costs and save you time and money in the long run.
