Iron Removal – Key to long RO Membrane life
Due to incredible advancements in membrane technologies over the years, RO membranes have become a household name in almost all kinds of water treatment applications. Reverse Osmosis is being increasingly used for various applications such as Zero Liquid Discharge, treating process water, water discharge and even desalination of water. With so many industrial […]
KEEPING YOUR FARMS, HATCHERIES AND FACILITIES CLEAN & DISINFECTED
A hatchery is the very earliest stage in chickens’ lives. Any kind of contamination in this environment can be a serious threat to their health and overall production. Hence, proper hygiene, disinfection and permanent monitoring in the hatcheries are of paramount importance. Periodically, even the best hatcheries will suffer from depressed hatch, higher […]
The growing importance of ETPs in Textile Manufacturing
Textile manufacturing in India has played an integral part in the growth that our country has witnessed over the past 2 decades. In fact it is an industry that offers much more than what meets the eyes. For starters, it contributes about 2% to the country’s GDP. And as an industry, it is the second largest employer […]
Centralized & Decentralized STPs – Finding the right balance
India’s water crisis is a constant. Although India has 16 per cent of the world’s population, the country possesses only four per cent of the world’s freshwater resources. India is water-stressed due to changing weather patterns and repeated droughts. As many as 256 of 700 districts in India have reported ‘critical’ or ‘over-exploited’ groundwater levels. […]
REDUCING LOAD ON EVAPORATORS – The Hows and Whys
Evaporation is essentially a separation process that takes advantage of the changing physical states of water, or other solvents, from liquid to vapor. It is unique from other separation processes, in that the water is removed from the contaminants rather than the pollutants being filtered from the water. Although widely used in the water treatment […]
SILICA IN INDUSTRIAL WATER – How big of a problem is it?
Silicon is among the more abundant elements in the Earth’s crust, and most rocks are comprised of silicate minerals with SiO₂ as a fundamental building block. So it comes as no surprise that it is almost always present in source water, process water, and wastewater streams. For industrial units, efficient management of silica levels in […]
BRINE MANAGEMENT – THE NEED OF THE HOUR
The world is experiencing serious shortages, unequal distributions, and contamination of available freshwater resources. Many factors like geography, increasing populations, industrialisation, and inadequate water management are the main contributors to this issue. Energy rich countries have set fossil fuel consumption and desalination of seawater as their main target method for continuous water supply. But this […]
Chlorine Dioxide for Pulp Bleaching in Paper Mills
In the highly competitive global Pulp and Paper industry, the importance of the quality of output i.e. the quality of the paper manufactured cannot be understated. Customers have a plethora of options and they will not hesitate in finding another supplier if there is any variance in quality. This kind of cut-throat competition has […]
IMPORTANCE OF ODOUR CONTROL – AT MANUFACTURING FACILITIES
Industrial odours are produced by a variety of organisations and facilities, including wastewater treatment and chemical processing, to food manufacturing, the development of infrastructure, rubbish incineration and more. Industrial odours are also affected by environmental factors; for example, higher temperatures almost always lead to intensified odours, and the speed or direction of the wind […]
IMPROVING GROUNDWATER QUALITY – Securing India’s Water Future
Historically speaking, India and its various industries used to heavily rely on surface water supply from sources like rivers, lakes, ponds, etc. – to meet a huge majority of its water requirements. The supply of surface water has always been in abundance and India made use of this. However over the past few […]
