Greater Filtration Performance With Spectrum

Greater Filtration Performance With Spectrum

Eco-Tec's Spectrum Micro Media Filter™ improves filtration efficiency while maintaining lower capital and operating costs compared to conventional filters. Higher-level filtration is achieved through two specialized media layers (coarse upper and lower extra fine) and a patented backwash process. Spectrum delivers superior prefiltration for ion exchange, RO, and filtration of produced water. It handles suspended solid concentrations >100 mg/L and provides filtrate turbidity of less than 0.1 NTU. Read more.

What Is A Mixed Oxidant?
By MIOX Corporation
The electrolysis of salt water to generate chlorine has been practiced commercially for more than 100 years. Electrolysis is the basic process used to manufacture nearly all chlorine-based oxidizing compounds including gas, liquid, and solid forms of chlorine. Chlorine gas safety concerns and regulation have caused many water utilities to convert from gas to safer forms — such as sodium hypochlorite (liquid or bleach) or calcium hypochlorite (solid). Within the past 40 years, several manufacturers began to produce and sell equipment that generated sodium hypochlorite on-site by the same processes used in larger chemical plants.

The Road To Nitrate Removal
By Calgon Carbon Corporation
The City of Chino's agricultural activities have contributed significantly to the nitrate problem in the Chino Basin via extensive fertilization and livestock activity. Recognizing the problem, the city set up a capital improvement project to add treatment to its existing and new groundwater sources. Some of the critical criteria included previous installation and operation of a nitrate removal system, approval of the technology by the California Department of Health Services, and a nearby operating installation. Based on those criteria, the city decided to move forward with the Calgon Carbon ISEP technology.
