Industrial Water Treatment Systems and Technologies
Industrial water treatment systems are devices that filter water used in homes, mass housing, workplaces, industries, and high water consumption areas. Different filters are used to obtain clean water of desired quality, values, and standards. The aim is to remove all contaminants from the water and to soften it. Clean, healthy, high-quality, and soft water can be produced for every purpose. Thanks to these technologies, color, odor, and taste adjustments can also be made.
Application Areas of Industrial Water Treatment Devices
Each facility, factory, or business has different treatment requirements depending on the sector or industry. Although the general purpose is to purify water, different designs and planning are made for many different reasons.
- Casting Industry
- Textile Industry
- Automotive Sector
- Pharmaceutical Sector
- Medical Sector
- Energy Sector
- Beverage and Food Industry
- Agricultural Activities
- Chemical Industry
- Paint Industry
In some industrial sectors, the mineral content of the water can be significant. Some sectors may have heavy metals in their waste content. In some sectors, having a certain pH value may be important. In some sectors, there may be complex contaminating microorganisms. Requirements for agricultural activities are different. Therefore, a specific study should be conducted for each project. Different filtration and treatment techniques should be used depending on the pollution level and type of water. The production processes should be properly optimized with the correct complex technological solutions.
For example, in the pharmaceutical sector, water is used as a raw material, main material, cleaning agent, and reaction substance in formula development and production stages. It is important to maintain the physical, chemical, and biological properties for obtaining pure water for pharmaceutical production. Additionally, storage is also important. Solutions that ensure water production meeting the criteria of the pharmaceutical sector should be provided.
Importance and Design of Treatment Systems
Industrial water treatment systems are technologies that also minimize waste production. Minimizing waste production is crucial for supporting environmental sustainability. Wastes are cleaned according to their content and made reusable. Recovery systems are very important technologies for our lives. The content of the wastes determines which treatment technologies and integrations will be used. It should be determined according to the industry field in which the business operates.
The design of recovery systems for waste requires significant expertise in the treatment sector. Proper design of industrial treatment technologies prevents energy consumption and provides economic benefits to businesses. Purifying waste during production processes and using it in different areas within the business is very important for protecting our natural resources and ensuring environmental sustainability. For businesses, another important reason is the economic gain.
All businesses must always control the quality of the water they will use in their production processes for quality production. Minerals, contaminants, microorganisms, inorganic and organic substances affect product quality, efficiency, and operational costs. Thanks to treatment technologies, water is purified from contaminants physically, chemically, and biologically. Safe and high-quality water production necessary for production processes is achieved.
Standard Stages in Water Treatment Systems
Systems for industrial water and wastewater treatment can be classified as raw water, cooling tower, boiler feed, and wastewater treatment systems. The processes of classical treatment stages are the same. Only the technologies, systems, and filters used are different.
Determining the source of network water and water analysis. Evaluated along with the legal procedures of the businesses.
- Pre-treatment processes
- Coagulation with flocculation
- Sedimentation with filtration
- Disinfection
These classical stages are valid for all treatment stages. Applications such as sludge stabilization pool, settling, and aeration are classical stages. Wastes are converted into water in aeration units. Particles with different properties such as clay and lime are separated. Suitable filtrations for the purpose are used. Thus, physical cleaning is achieved. Then contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, microbes, fungi, and microorganisms are removed. Biological cleaning is performed. Filters that will provide chemical cleaning according to the production processes of the sector are used. Especially in recent years, very high-quality water can be obtained thanks to the most popular and technologically superior membranes. After all cleaning processes, softening and deionization processes are applied according to preference, need, and purpose.
General Operating Principle and Filtration Types
The general operating principle of water treatment systems is carried out through filters. Carbon, resin, and carbon filters are used to perform different cleaning processes. Special filters are used for softness. It is important which filters are used for color, odor, and taste quality suitable for the purpose. It is necessary to get professional service to use filters that will provide conductivity, pH, hardness, and chlorine values.
Filters are produced in different types and styles according to the usage area. Many different filtration techniques can be used in combination.
- Activated Carbon Filtration
- Multimedia-Sand Filtration
- Arsenic-Iron-Manganese Filtration
- Dolomite Filtration
- Microfiltration Cartridge Filter
- Bag Filter
- Mechanical Filtration-Separator Filter
Project Design and Engineering Process at Riva
Whether the facility where the treatment systems will be established is medical or industrial is effective in the design. After determining whether it is medical or industrial type, the characteristics of the raw water source are analyzed physically, chemically, and biologically. Then the required quality value is determined. Then units are selected according to these criteria, depending on the application of classical stages. Designed and projected.
