Understanding Water Treatment Chemicals and Their Importance in Modern Industries

Industries need water for far more than drinking or fire safety. Cooling accounts for the largest share of industrial water use. Followed by process operations, while boiler feed is another major application. Because so much depends on water quality, industries require water that does not clog pipes, reduce heat transfer efficiency, or cause excessive wear and tear on equipment over time. Therefore, proper water treatment is essential to ensure efficient operations, protect equipment , and maintain reliable industrial processes...

The Universal Solvent a Brief Introduction to Water Treatment Chemistry

In addition to the water required for drinking and sanitary use by employees and for fire protection, most industrial establishments require larger amount of water for cooling, boiler feed and process use. Thus, 1) Cooling is the largest industrial use for water. 2) Process water is the second largest industrial use and 3) Boiler feed is the third largest industrial use of water. For these industrial uses, the quality of water required for specific application is as important as the availability of a sufficient quantity. The general quality criteria for waters are that they should neither permit the formation of deposits, which reduce heat transfer or increase resistance to the flow of water,...
