The Mechanics of Filtration

The Mechanics of Filtration Commercial and industrial filtration systems fall into two broad categories: surface filters and depth filters. Essentially, filtration is accomplished by either surface and depth filters or by electrostatic attraction of undissolved particles in water to certain types of filter media. Figure 1-2 Surface (screen) Filtration Surface filtration can be described as [...]

The Troublesome Trio & Water Purity: Part 1

The Troublesome Trio & Water Purity: Part 1Part 1: Iron Three undesirable water characteristics-iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide--can he called the "Bermuda Triangle" of the water processing business. Singularly or in combination, this trio can present a very complex challenge to the water treatment specialist. The same processing method used for removal of one species [...]

Understanding Boiler Operation

Understanding Boiler Operation One of the most common water softener applications is for softening the supply water to steam boilers. Most industrial and many commercial establishments require steam. Steam is used in textile mills to produce, form, and dye fabrics. The dry cleaner uses steam to iron linens. Canneries and meat packers cook or process [...]

How to Identify Water Impurities

How to Identify Water Impurities The impact of the various physical impurities of water generated during the hydrologic cycle and/or bacterial colonization depends upon the water user’s particular requirements. In order to assess the need for treatment and the appropriate technology, the specific contaminants must be identified and measured. Qualitative Identification Qualitative identification is usually [...]

Water – The Problem of Purity

Water – The Problem of Purity In its pure state, water is one of the most aggressive solvents known. Called the “universal solvent,” water, to a certain degree, will dissolve virtually everything to which it is exposed. Pure water has a very high energy state and, like everything else in nature, seems to achieve energy [...]

Identifying Specific Water Impurities

Identifying Specific Water Impurities Specific Impurities Many individual impurities can be quantified through water analysis techniques. Below is a discussion of most ionic individual contaminants. Water Hardness The presence of calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) ions in a water supply is commonly known as “hardness.” It is usually expressed as grains per gallon (gpg). Hardness [...]

Selecting the Perfect Filter Cartridge

Selecting the Perfect Filter Cartridge As a distributor of water treatment supplies, we are often asked to provide filter cartridges. Most of the time, these requests consist of the client saying: "Hey, I need a 5 micron 20" long cartridge." Sounds simple enough; however, there's more to a filter cartridge than the just these two  [...]

The Advantages of RO Water in Finishing Systems

The Advantages of RO Water in Finishing Systems The powder coating industry demands quality water to clean and rinse parts. By using reverse osmosis (RO) technology, finishers have found ways to help reduce water consumption and the overall volume of wastewater in their plants. In addition, purified RO water leads to better finish quality, huge [...]

Pharmaceutical Water Treatment Experts

Pharmaceutical Water Treatment Experts The pharmaceutical industry requires the purest of water to ensure that regulations are met and products are produced without the risk of introducing contaminants that could potentially result in illness and/or product recalls. Are you willing to risk the expense of that situation, or are you ready to speak to the [...]
