Different Methods Of Industrial Water Treatment

• Different Methods Of Industrial Water Treatment
• Industrial water treatment is restoring used
  water by eliminating the toxins and waste
  contamination in the water. In industries,
  specific processes ensure the trouble-free flow
  of the treated water for reuse. Industrial water
  treatment is highly significant in maintaining
  business sustainability. If the water is not
  appropriately treated, costly equipment can
  corrode easily and can result in several other
  major industrial problems. To ease the process of
  industrial water treatment, the ATMP
  manufacturers are also increasing their
  production.
• Water treatment is used to ensure seamless growth
  of water-based industrial treatments to minimise
  or eliminate the risks and operating costs. For
  example, you need to treat the water of your
  industry before letting it flow into a cooling
  tower or a boiler. Other water treatment
  utilities include treating water in the
  automotive or food/beverage industry.
• Steam boilers can corrode or scale up very
  quickly. Therefore, more effort is needed to get
  the same amount of water heated. If cooling
  towers scale up or corrode, bacteria can grow in
  the water leading to serious health hazards like
  Legionnaires' disease. The water treatment
  process is also used to enhance the quality of
  water that is in contact with the manufactured
  product or a part of the product. In these
  cases, the products can get ruined. Industrial
  water treatment focuses on managing four core
  problems corrosion, microbiological activity,
  scaling, and dumping residual wastewater.
• In many cases, wastewater from one process can be
  recycled and reused in another process under
  suitable conditions. This can help reduce costs
  by decreasing charges of water consumption,
  reducing the disposal and energy costs due to the
  restoration of heat in the recycled water.
• Different industrial water treatment methods are-
• Filtration- This process removes organic
  material, turbidness, and organic material. This
  process results in the removal of solid particles
  from water. The main objective of this process
  is to provide the best possible quality of water
  catering to industrial specifications.
• Softening- Softening is the process of
  eliminating hardness in the water. Industrial
  water softeners remove hardness in the
  industrial water through the resin.
• Dealkalization- This process focuses on removing
  carbonate hardness and whole alkalinity from the
  water to diminish scaling. This improves the
  water quality in the steam boiler.
• Reverse Osmosis- Reverse osmosis is a water
  purification process that eliminates large
  particles from the water with the use of a
  semipermeable membrane. This technology also
  helps in removing dissolved impurities from the
  water too.
• Nanofiltration- This wastewater treatment makes
  use of a membrane to purify water. It is a blend
  of reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration. It
  removes ions or molecular substances from the
  water.

• Ion Exchange- This water treatment method removes
  ionic contaminants by introducing alternate ions
  that soften the water or demineralise it. Ion
  exchange also removes scale buildup from the
  water.
• All these water treatment processes are very
  beneficial and essential. By getting a basic
  understanding of these processes, you can select
  the right choice for you.
