Reverse osmosis and Zeolite filter media
Reverse osmosis and Zeolite filter media Reverse osmosis is a water treatment process that uses a membrane to remove contaminants from water. It applies pressure to water on one side of a semi-permeable membrane, allowing the water molecules to pass through the membrane while blocking larger contaminants. Reverse osmosis is often used to purify water […]
The use of Chlorine and the backdraws in water treatment process
The use of Chlorine and the backdraws in water treatment process Chlorine is a commonly used chemical in the purification of drinking water. It is highly effective at killing bacteria and viruses, which makes it an effective disinfectant. Chlorine is typically added to water as a liquid or gas, and it reacts with the water […]
Main points and terms you need to know about in the water treatment process.
Main points and terms you need to know about in water treatment process. Water treatment plants may use physical, chemical, and biological processes to purify water. The specific processes used will depend on the quality of the source water and the desired end-use of the water. Here is a list of terms commonly used in […]
Case study CFE
Case study CFE Conventional filtration systems do not meet the efficiency requirements to face the water scarcity issues we are dealing with nowadays. Sand and anthracite filters have been around for hundreds of years; however, the current challenges in water management demands more efficient technologies that can generate better filtration quality at lower costs with […]
Toxic by-products
Toxic by-products Toxic by-products, also known as disinfection by-products (DBPs), can be formed during the treatment of drinking water when disinfectants react with organic matter in the water. Several DBPs can be formed, including trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs), and bromate. Exposure to high levels of DBPs has been linked to an increased risk of […]
The challenges of water treatment plants today
The challenges of water treatment plants today Water treatment plants purify water to make it safe to drink or use for other purposes. There are several steps involved in the water treatment process, which may include the following: Pretreatment: This step involves removing large objects and debris from the water, such as sticks, leaves, and […]
Advantages in Using Zeomedia Packed Filters
A growing number of cooling tower users are using a filtration system to control particulate levels and maintain the cleanliness of the cooling tower and overall water circulation system. Zeomedia Packed Filters. Water cascading down a cooling tower continually “cleans” airborne contaminants from the atmosphere. These contaminants, along with particulates in the make-up water, reach […]
Adsorption capacity and its effect on water filtration
Adsorption capacity and its effect on water filtration Porous filter media have increasingly become the standard in water filtration for suspended solid removal since they can deliver a superior performance than non-porous filter media such as sand and anthracite. Porous filter media can retain smaller microparticles due to their higher electrostatic capacity (physisorption). Additionally, they […]
Efficiency of granular filter
What determines the efficiency of granular filter? Choosing an adequate filter media that works best for our water filtration projects can be a real challenge if we don’t know the characteristics the filter media must have to work efficiently; it can negatively impact our projects’ performance and profitability. The efficiency of a granular filtration […]
