Closed circuit Water Treatment Chemicals
The problems encountered in closed circuit systems are like those in open systems – corrosion, suspended solids, scale, and microbiological contamination. However, there are differences between the systems which require us to treat them in different ways. The fixed volume, low make-up of a closed system allows us to dose water treatment products at much higher levels than is possible in ...

The cheapest, simplest, (yet highly effective) solution to cooling tower drift
The problems caused by water drift are numerous. The water usually contains treatment chemicals that are corrosive and damage paint on nearby equipment, buildings, automobiles, etc. In cold climates, the drift can cause dangerous icing on the roads and walkways. In some cases, the drift represents a significant loss of water, treatment chemicals or process heat. If nothing else, drift is nearly ...

Sustainable Industrial Water Treatment Chemicals: A New Era
Ever ponder the progression of a single drop of H2O? Imagine it falling from the sky, rushing through rivers and streams, being drawn into an industrial process, then finally released back to nature. But there’s a crucial step we often overlook – the use of sustainable industrial water treatment chemicals. These silent heroes play an important role in this water journey. The story ...

The application of potassium manganate in water treatment
This paper explores the feasibility of using potassium manganate (K2MnO4) in water treatment. Manganate (Mn(VI)), like ferrate (Fe(VI)), can act as both an oxidant and a coagulant/adsorbent arising from the formation of insoluble manganese dioxide (Mn(IV)) from the chemical reduction of MnO42−. In this paper the basic properties of K2MnO4 are described, including the standard electrode potential ...

How Surfactants Affect Drift Rate
Drift is composed of entrained particles of water in the exit air stream of the cooling tower. Unlike the evaporated water that is pure, the drift particles will contain whatever soluble constituents are present in the circulating water. This could include minerals, water treatment chemicals, and biological organisms. The substances in drift pose potential health hazards for people near the tower ...

Kurita chemical deal solves sales dilemma
The Japanese company has drastically ramped up its presence abroad with its first foreign acquisition in 16 years. The European sales boost will see the overseas chemicals business streak ahead of the facilities division. Kurita Water Industries has made a crucial step away from a sluggish home market in Japan with its first overseas acquisition since buying Hansu Technical Service in 1998. It ...

Evaluation of activated starch as an alternative to polyacrylamide polymers for drinking water flocculation
Polyacrylamide polymers (PAM) are one of the most common water treatment chemicals used in clarification processes. Concerns have been raised with regards to the aquatic and human toxicity of acrylamide monomer. Greener polymers, produced using potato starch, were investigated at lab-scale as a potential non-toxic alternative to the use of PAM within a ballasted flocculation process ...

A study on fluorescence properties of carboxymethyl-quaternary ammonium oligochitosan and its performances as a tracing agent
Carboxymethyl-quaternary ammonium oligochitosan (CM-QAOC) exhibited high inhibition to scaling and microbial formation and also remarkable fluorescence. In this paper its fluorescent properties and application as a fluorescent tracing chemical for industrial water treatment were studied in detail. The fluorescence intensities of CM-QAOC were in good linear agreement with its content in the ...

Understanding the impacts of allocation approaches during process‐based life cycle assessment of water treatment chemicals
Chemicals are an important component of advanced water treatment operations not only in terms of economics, but also from an environmental standpoint. Tools such as life cycle assessment (LCA) are useful for estimating the environmental impacts of water treatment operations. At the same time, LCA analysts must manage several fundamental and as yet unresolved methodological challenges, one of ...

The Control of pH and Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) in Cooling Tower Applications
The importance of keeping cooling tower water in proper chemical balance is becoming clearer. Cooling tower treatment control systems can limit scale formation to improve efficiency, limit corrosion to increase the service life of the cooling water system, and maintain a residual halogen level to reduce liability associated with biological growth, particularly Legionellae. The use of automatic ...

Fundamentals of Catalytic Activated Carbons
Untitled Document Summary: Catalysts in water treatment speed chemical reactions so equipment can be scaled down or contact times shortened. Because the speed of a reaction can affect equipment price or useful life, it could mean the difference between a sale and a "no, thanks." Thus, recently developed catalytic activated carbons may enable water treatment ...

Reducing industrial water footprint lightens energy footprint, too
The close connection between the water footprint of an industrial facility, which describes its overall consumption and efficiency of its water use, and its carbon footprint – much of which reflects the energy used to move, heat, cool or treat water – has never been more apparent. And as clean freshwater becomes increasingly scarce and energy becomes more expensive, reducing the water footprint ...

Veolia upgrades water treatment plant for Mozambique bottling plant
Veolia Water Technologies South Africa recently commissioned a new water treatment plant for Refrigerantes Spar Mozambique Lda, a bottling plant contracted to bottle Coca-Cola and other soft drink products in Mozambique. Veolia replaced the entire water treatment plant, which treats a nominal flow of 15 m3/hour (with a peak of 20 m3/hour) of water from the municipal bulk supply, and a ...

Membrane fouling
The Problem: Membrane water treatment is costly and complex due to the systems required to mitigate membrane fouling. Membranes have, therefore, been relegated to high value applications such as desalination and ultra-pure water needs. The systems used to mitigate fouling have a history of underperformance and high cost. EconoPure Solution: EconoPure has developed a low-fouling nanofiltration ...

In Durban, Industries Run on Recycled Water
Water resources are limited in South Africa, especially in the City of Durban. To ensure the city’s residents are given priority in accessing drinking water resources, the Durban Recycling Plant was developed by Veolia Water Technologies to switch manufacturing processes to recycled water. 98% of the city’s wastewater is recycled, freeing up 40,000 cubic meters a day for consumption ...
