Chromium Removal from ETPs using Ion Exchange Resin
WHAT IS CHROMIUM? Chromium is a chemical element that is commonly used in industrial processes. Trivalent chromium (Cr(III)) and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) are two forms of chromium that are often present in wastewater from electroplating, tannery, and other industries. Both forms of chromium can pose a risk to human health and the environment if […]
Nanofiltration Membranes : Key to efficient Dye Desalting
What is Nanofiltration? Nanofiltration is a filtration process that uses a membrane with small pores (typically less than 2 nm in size) to separate molecules based on size and charge. The process is often used in the treatment of industrial waste streams and the purification of water, and has shown potential for use in […]
SUPERCHARGED RESIN – For a versatile range of applications
Supercharged ion exchange resins are a type of resin used in water treatment systems. They are designed to remove ions, such as salts and minerals, from water and replace them with hydrogen or hydroxide ions. The term “supercharged” refers to the use of a specific ion exchange technology that enables the resin to have […]
Chlorine Dioxide Powder – Better than liquid & generators
Chlorine dioxide powder is a dry chemical compound that is used as a disinfectant, sanitizer, and oxidizing agent. It is commonly used in water treatment, food and beverage processing, agriculture, bleaching applications, and more as a delivery system to generate Chlorine Dioxide solution on-site. When mixed with water, the powder releases chlorine dioxide, which is […]
Importance of Ultrafiltration as a pre-treatment before RO
The need for appropriate pre-treatment to ensure optimum performance of reverse osmosis (RO) systems is well understood. RO manufacturers always recommend certain inlet water parameters in order to ensure optimum performance and membrane life. Any deviance in the parameters causes serious downtimes and damage to production. Conventional pre-treatment is not 100% secure to achieve […]
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 […]
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 […]
