Deionized Water & Ion Exchange Processes

Deionized Water & Ion Exchange Processes Deionized Water When it comes to finding a water treatment solution for an industrial or commercial application, and more specifically for any manufacturing application, it is important to develop the appropriate water treatment solution. Having the wrong water treatment system in place in your facility could undermine the production [...]

The Adsorption Process

The Adsorption Process The Adsorption Process Adsorption is the phenomenon which occurs when various substances accumulate at the "interface" zone (see image below) between two phases: a liquid and a solid or a gas and a solid. These absorbates are held on the surface of various adsorbent products by physical and chemical forces. The major [...]

Aeration Processes

Aeration Processes The Aeration Process Water aeration has been taking place in nature since the beginning of time. Typical examples include the action of waterfalls such as Niagara Falls at the Canada-New York border and the swift-flowing white-water rapids of the Colorado River. Both of these examples of natural aeration permit water to absorb oxygen [...]

Adsorption Influence Factors & Applications

Factors and Applications of Adsorption Influence ADSORPTION INFLUENCE FACTORS As with almost all water treatment methods and unit processes, three key factors play a very important role in controlling the degree to which the adsorption process succeeds or falls short. Some of the same factors that govern aeration effectiveness also come into play in the [...]

The Benefits of Deionized Water

The Benefits of Deionized Water What is Deionized Water? For hospitals, biotech companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, blenders or any other facility that needs purified water for their production, deionized water is crucial. So, what is deionized water, or DI water, and why does it matter? Deionized water is a common component of a chemistry laboratory and [...]

Taste & Odor in Water

Taste & Odor in Water Taste and Odor in Water The most common use of the absorption process in commercial water treatment is the reduction and removal of taste- and odor-causing substances in water. Certain compounds and organisms in water, while they have no bearing on the hygienic safety of water supplies, are nevertheless, offensive [...]

Getting to Know Chemical Feed Systems - Part 3 More Chemical Delivery Systems As previously stated, delivery systems are the central key to a chemical feed system. Although most commonly used delivery systems are through the metering pump, there are several more options. In "Getting to Know Chemical Feed Systems - Part 2" you learned [...]

Getting to Know Chemical Feed Systems – Part 2

GETTING TO KNOW CHEMICAL FEED SYSTEMS - PART 2 Chemical Delivery Systems Chemical delivery systems are the center of a feed system. There are multiple different chemical feed systems. The most commonly used is the metering pump. Almost 95% of all feed systems use this type of pump. Although, in cooling water systems gravity feed [...]

Getting to Know Chemical Feed Systems – Part 1

Getting to Know Chemical Feed Systems - Part 1 Feed System A well-developed feed system is an important part of having an effective water treatment program. If a feed system is designed inadequately, chemical control will not meet specifications, operating costs could be expensive, and program results could be lacking. A few costly problems affiliated [...]

Applying Quality Methods to Water Treatment

Applying Quality Methods to Water Treatment Water treatment systems can function and work in a wide variety, which is why applying quality methods to water treatment is so important. Water make up is continually changing.  The source of the water directly effects the amount and how quickly the change in the system happens. Having changes [...]

Boiler Failures Due to Corrosion – Part 1

Boiler Failures Due to Corrosion - Part 1 Stress Corrosion Cracking There are various corrosion mechanisms that contribute to boiler tube failures. Stress corrosions can result in either intercrystalline or transgranular cracking of carbon steel. This is caused by a combination of metal stress and the presence of a corrosive. To determine the extent and [...]
