01Understand the water

Start with representative chemistry, demand and operating conditions.

02Engineer the process

Select and size treatment around the required output rather than a catalogue package.

03Design for operation

Consider controls, access, redundancy, maintenance and lifecycle cost from the outset.

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

Talk to a Process Water Engineer

Send Hydra-Clear your water analysis, process requirement, flow and target water quality.

Treat the water for the process. Not the brochure specification.

Call 0800 999 6770 or contact Hydra-Clear to discuss your chemical or petrochemical application.

Hydra-Clear Process Water

Start with the water. Then engineer the system.

Share the source water, required quality, flow and operating pattern. Our engineers can establish the appropriate treatment philosophy and project route.
