SOURCE & DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

Laundry Water Recovery System Reduces Freshwater Use By Over 50 Percent

In Mexico City, few residents have tap water or washing machines and most visit laundromats to clean their clothes. To keep up with demand, most of the city’s laundromats take delivery of fresh water three or four times per day at great expense to facility owners. Virtually none of this water is reused or recycled. 

Filtration Solution For Arsenic Removal From Well Water

Select Harvest was in need of a filtration solution to remove high levels of arsenic from their well water supply. Learn how Applied Process Equipment helped them remove arsenic to non-detectable levels.

Drinking Water Treatment Plant (DWTP) Filtration System For Arsenic Removal

The existing water treatment at the Toquepala Mine in Peru included only chemical disinfection to provide the local population with water only for non-potable purposes. An alternative solution was essential.
