The system can remove up to 99.9% of contaminants, making it suitable for businesses in pharmaceuticals, mining and extraction,... (read more) Author: Laura Jeeves

31. An Industrial Water Softener: What it is, How it Works June 14, 2024 We’ve all come across the terms hard and soft water, but what exactly do they mean? Put simply, hard water has a high content of calcium and magnesium. When rain falls on rocks such as limestone and chalk, these minerals dissolve, producing hardness: clogged shower heads, limescale build-up on kettle elements, and whitish deposits on bathtubs and sinks are all thanks to this. Conversely, soft water has a low content of calcium and magnesium, and is more user-friendly on appliances and machinery. In commercial and industrial settings, the problem of hard water can be serious, so... (read more) Author: Laura Jeeves

42. Effluent Treatment: What Reverse Osmosis Won't Remove January 15, 2024 Industrial processes produce wastewater rich in contaminants and toxins that require proper waste management before disposal into the environment or the public drainage system. This is why it is important to install effluent treatment plant, to ensure that wastewater meets the required environmental standards, as outlined by the Environmental Agency (EA) in the UK. Various methods are deployed to purify effluent, and one of them is reverse osmosis (RO). This method is very effective, as it has been proven to remove up to 99% of ions, or dissolved solids, bacteria, and particles.... (read more) Author: Laura Jeeves

43. Choosing the Right Effluent Treatment Plant January 15, 2024 Commercial and industrial processes produce a great amount of wastewater that requires standardised or approved waste management and disposal. It can be described as waste that contains high concentrations of pollutants such as dissolved solids, chemicals, metals, or organic products. Thus, this wastewater can cause potential harm to the ecosystem if disposed of or discharged through the municipal drainage system without prior treatment. An effluent treatment plant that is specifically selected for the appropriate industry is therefore a requirement to reduce high pollutants to ... (read more) Author: Laura Jeeves

44. Why is Industrial Wastewater Treatment so Important? January 15, 2024 Industrial processes produce effluent with extreme levels of chemical, biological, metallic, and metalloid pollutants, depending on the industry, of course.

45. Simplex and Duplex Water Softeners: What's the Difference? December 13, 2023 The prolonged use of hard water in industrial processes has consequences that can cause premature damage to expensive plants and equipment, due to limescale build-up. This is rather more prevalent in the UK, where public water is not suitable for industrial processes due to high levels of calcium and magnesium. An industrial water softener provides a good solution for reducing calcium and magnesium ions for industrial use. So why is there such a need to correct this hardness? The geographic formation of most areas in the UK is made up of sedimentary rocks, such as limestone, cha... (read more) Author: Laura Jeeves

46. Understanding How an Industrial Water Softener Works December 13, 2023 Industrial processes rely heavily on the use of water, and due to the sensitivity of machinery and equipment, the mineral levels need to meet the required standards. Public water in the UK is safe for human consumption; however, it can negatively impact some domestic and industrial processes because 65% is classified as “hard". In simplified terms, it is deemed hard because it contains high levels of calcium and magnesium (and iron in some cases), which can lead to limescale buildup, in turn damaging expensive plumbing and equipment. The solution can be the installation of an indus... (read more) Author: Laura Jeeves

47. Deionised Water: What's the Story? December 13, 2023 Water used in a commercial setting requires strict adherence to industrial standards; hence, different methods are deployed for the purification process. Among these is the use of deionised water systems, which remove mineral ions such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and copper. The presence of these minerals causes limescale build-up, which will reduce the overall lifespan of plants and equipment. Calcium and magnesium access the public water supply when rain percolates the sedimentary rock surface, dissolving these minerals, while copper and iron gain access through the pipes. ...
