Industrial Removal of Nitrate From Your Water

Wondering why you should remove nitrate from your business’s water supply? Industrial nitrate removal from water is important for any business. Although nitrate is found in many naturally occurring substances, it can become a hazardous compound in larger amounts. How does this affect your business? Well, too much nitrate in water facilities can be very dangerous. Allowing a water treatment company to remove nitrate from your water is going to reap huge benefits for your company.

Nitrate is a compound of nitrogen and oxygen that naturally occurs and is found in many human-made sources. While it is essential for all living things, it can be harmful to our health in large amounts. It’s most often used in industries in fertilizers for crops and lawns and is often used in food preservation. On top of that, it’s often found in our drinking water. While the human body produces small levels of nitrate and it is essential for plant growth, nitrate can also be produced by smoke and exhaust from different industries. And although nitrate may naturally occur, its presence in your water supply is usually an indication of man-made pollution. Complete Water Solutions has the expertise and experience to properly remove nitrate from your business’s water supply.

There isn’t a lot of information out there regarding the lasting effects of nitrates in drinking water, however, it has been discovered that there are plenty of potential concerns following prolonged exposure. On an extreme level, nitrates in drinking water can cause cancer or death, and on a smaller scale, there are genotoxic, developmental, and systematic concerns. If your industrial facility is struggling with increasing nitrate levels in your water there are several different options for removing this potentially dangerous element from your industrial water supply. 

The three most common options for nitrate removal are ion exchange, distillation, and reverse osmosis. Each process is different but has the same goal of water purification. 

A portable ion exchange tank provides large amounts of processed water and heightened flow rates. After each tank is exhausted they are returned to a water treatment provider and reprocessed.

Distillation is the process of using heat and other methods to rid pure chemicals from a source, like water. This process is often used in water purification on both the industrial and commercial levels.

Reverse Osmosis is a type of filtration that uses a thin membrane that is small enough to allow water to pass through and block its impurities or hazardous compounds. RO is used to create more purified water for anything from drinking water systems to industrial boilers.
