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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
