Water recycling reclaims water and treats it so it can be reused. Recycled water is commonly used in agricultural processes like irrigation and industrial processes like drilling because it significantly reduces tap water consumption. The petrochemical, chemical, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries are good examples of industries that use significant volumes of water; and wastewater and effluent are natural by-products of their industrial processes. This waste can be treated to a specified quality so that it can be reused…

With the correct treatment system, even the dirtiest wastewater like sewage can be transformed into drinking water. If that notion disgusts you a little bit, that’s probably because you see sewage as waste rather than as the valuable resource it is. Each day in the UK, sewers collect over 11 billion litres of wastewater, which equates to approximately 150-litres per person. This ends up in water treatment facilities, where it is processed to purify it so it can be discharged…

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus. Research has shown that it can live in water for at least a few days. Thankfully, water treatment facilities in the UK have processes that kill viruses during purification, and because of this, COVID-19 has not been detected in drinking water yet. One of the most effective processes at treating water for COVID-19 is UV treatment, a process we enable with our UV water treatment range. UV light…

‘Water Filtration’ is a term that refers to the filtration of impurities, contaminants, and chemicals from any water source to improve its quality and make it fit for its intended use. Types of Water Filtration Systems Water is the only natural resource that is used universally for multiple purposes. Water is a significant component for many crucial processes in industrial and commercial businesses, and not just for drinking purposes. Each water filtration system varies from the other to subsequently achieve…

Effluent is a byproduct of wastewater after its treatment. It is commonly known as ‘trade water’. Effluent is produced and discharged by any industrial or commercial premises into the natural water cycle by letting it flow directly into the rivers or seas. Effluent wastewater needs treatment even before it enters the sewers. Wastewaters from large-scale commercial industries like manufacturing and mining are composed of contaminants like chemicals, detergents, greases, oils, heavy metal rinses and solids. These harmful solvents and solids…

Electrocoating (e-coating) and powder coating are both used to apply either paint or a layer of protection to a part. Both processes require the part to be cured at a high temperature. They are often used together in processes such as Industrial manufacturing and radiator production. The way they are applied and the reasoning for application is the main difference between the two processes. There are other ways you can paint a part such as wet spray but we’ll be…
