Industrial water treatment systems are designed to suit a wide range of purification and separation needs. They range from very basic and compact procedures to complicated multipart processes for a wide range of applications. Industrial water treatment encompasses a wide range of methods and systems. Water is purified in industrial water treatment systems to make it acceptable for certain uses such as consumption, production, and even disposal.

However, each system is tailored to the demands of the facility, and many of the technologies that comprise such systems are interchangeable. This article provides a broad overview of widely used technologies and their capabilities in order to understand about various commercial water treatment options by Culligan Industrial Water.

System for treating the water in cooling towers

Cooling tower water treatment systems are used to safeguard cooling tower components from contamination in feed water, circulation water, or blowdown water. Chloride, hardness, iron, biomaterials, silicon dioxide, sulfates, TDS, and TSS are examples of contaminants. Untreated cooling tower water supply can cause filth, corrosion, biological development, and contamination of cooling tower equipment, resulting in costly plant downtime, decreased productivity, and maintenance or replacement expenses over time.

System for treating boiler water

Boiler water treatment systems are used to safeguard boiler plant components and pipelines against contamination in the boiler or auxiliary water supply lines. Dissolved solids, suspended solids, and organics such as iron, copper, silicon dioxide, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, hardness, and dissolved gas are examples of contaminants.

Boiler water supply without sufficient treatment can cause sedimentation, corrosion, and contamination of boilers and downstream equipment, resulting in costly plant downtime, expensive maintenance fees, and fuel use. It may worsen and cause the boiler to fail.

A good boiler water treatment system removes dangerous contaminants before they enter the boiler and controls the acidity and conductivity of the water. The treatment strands differ, but a typical system includes primary treatment and perhaps polishing, depending on boiler pressure, steam consumption, and the chemistry of the boiler feed and make-up water.

System for treating raw water

Untreated water that occurs naturally in the environment, such as precipitation, groundwater, wells, lakes, and rivers, is referred to as raw water. Raw water can be used for cooling, flushing, product creation, and even human consumption in an industrial setting if sufficiently cleansed.

Typically, raw water purification systems are used to pre-treat and optimize springs in order to improve production efficiency and process performance for specific purposes. Cooling tower/boiler water supply, process/production water, and/or drinking water pre-treatment are some examples.

Raw water treatment frequently focuses on preventing downstream equipment against spring pollutant buildup, contamination, corrosion, and other types of damage or premature wear. Typically, raw water treatment systems remove suspended/colloidal particles, microorganisms, and hardness.

The steps below demonstrate how a raw water treatment system works in practice: Gravity and/or pumps attract raw water into the system. Clarification occurs when water flows through a metal grill or mesh screen to keep big things out of the system. After that, the water is purified.
