Water Treatment for Demanding Process Environments

Chemical and petrochemical facilities use water across a wide range of process and utility applications.

Feedwater quality can influence boilers, cooling systems, manufacturing processes, washing, chemical formulation and wastewater generation.

Hydra-Clear designs treatment systems around the water chemistry and the process rather than applying a standard package to every site.

Applications

Treatment can be provided for:

• Boiler make-up
• CHP plant
• Cooling water
• Process water
• Wash and rinse systems
• Chemical dilution
• Laboratory water
• Membrane feedwater
• Wastewater recovery
• Borehole water
• Specialist process duties

Borehole & Raw Water

Large industrial facilities can benefit from alternative water sources, but borehole water frequently presents treatment challenges including:

• Iron
• Manganese
• Hardness
• Alkalinity
• Silica
• Suspended solids
• Dissolved salts
• Hydrogen sulphide

Treatment is developed from a full representative water analysis.

Boiler & Steam Systems

Boiler treatment can include:

• Softening
• Reverse osmosis
• Demineralisation
• Ion exchange
• Chemical dosing
• Condensate recovery

Improving make-up quality can reduce blowdown, scaling potential and unnecessary chemical demand.

Cooling Water

Cooling water treatment can include:

• Filtration
• Softening
• RO
• Chemical dosing
• Side stream filtration
• Water recovery

The process is selected around cooling chemistry, heat rejection and water balance.

Process Water

Process water does not always need to be ultrapure.

Over-treating water costs money.

Hydra-Clear establishes which contaminants need to be controlled and designs the minimum reliable treatment process required to achieve the specification.

Water Recovery

Potential recovery streams can include:

• RO concentrate
• Cooling blowdown
• Condensate
• Rinse water
• Selected process effluent

Recovery is evaluated against chemistry, treatment cost, energy consumption, waste generation and reuse requirements.

Packaged Systems

Systems can be supplied as:

• Skid mounted packages
• Containerised plant
• Modular treatment trains
• Standalone filtration
• Pump and dosing skids
