Industrial water treatment LIMS: high-quality and high-tech lab workflows!

The most accurate way to describe an industrial water treatment system is to concentrate the explanation on the specific industrial application area. All in all, an industrial water treatment system is a method to treat water for consumption, manufacturing, or disposal.

The following industrial water treatment systems will give a more detailed overview of the potentials of this application area:

• Boiler feedwater treatment systems: they detect and remove harmful impurities and control the water’s acidity and conductivity. The steps of Boiler feedwater treatment systems concern the following steps: Makeup water intake, Filtration, Softening, Dealkalization, Reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF), Primary ion exchange (IX), Deaeration or degasification, Polishing, Distribution.
• Wastewater treatment systems: wastewater concerns water that has been contaminated by human interaction and can be therefore harmful. The proceedings to treat wastewater are the followings: Clarification, Disinfection, Softening, Distribution.
• Raw water treatment systems: Raw water concerns the water that has to be found in the environment that has not been treated before. Raw water does not have any minerals, ions, particles, bacteria, or parasites removed and includes rainwater, groundwater, and infiltration wells. The following procedure occurs when treating raw water: Intake, Clarification, Disinfection, Lime softening, Ion exchange (IX), Distribution, Membrane filtration.
• Cooling tower water treatment systems: this process is used to protect the cooling tower’s components from any kinds of contaminants that can be present in feed water circulation water or even blowdown water. The process should be like the following: Makeup water intake, Filtration, Softening, Chemical addition, Side-stream filtration, Post-treatment.
