Drinking Water Application Notes

1. Removal Of Chloramines With Activated Carbon 12/30/2013

   In order to reduce the formation of harmful disinfection byproducts in drinking water, alternative disinfectant use has become increasingly widespread. Monochloramine is a leading alternative disinfectant that offers advantages for municipal water. This tech brief details the removal of monochloramine using activated carbon.

2. Recording & Control: In Coagulant Dosage Applications For Potable Water Treatment 7/1/2019

   Potable water or drinking water as it is also known, is water that is safe to drink or to be used in food preparation. Typically, in developed countries, tap water meets the required drinking water standards, although only a small proportion is actually drank or used in food preparation.

3. Immediate pH Correction For Fluctuating Flow 2/19/2014

   In a number of water, wastewater and industrial process applications, pH is one of the most critical and highly sensitive analytical measurements.  Examples of critical pH applications include: Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems in which a controlled feed of caustic solution is typically added to the feed stream in order to convert a portion of dissolved carbon dioxide into bicarbonate precipitate allowing for removal by the RO membrane.

4. Water Treatment In Boilers And Cooling Towers 10/29/2021

    Most people recognize problems associated with corrosion. Effects from scale deposits, however, are equally important. For example, as little as 1/8" of scale can reduce the efficiency of a boiler by 18% or a cooling tower heat exchanger by 40%!

5. Ion Exchange Resins Reduce Pollution From Refineries 12/23/2013

   A single operational oil and gas refinery produces millions of gallons of contaminated wastewater a year, leading to environmental pollution concerns. Ion exchange resins are a metal- and ion-removal solution to help clean this wastewater for plant reuse or safe disposal. This application guide explains how resins can be used to demineralize refinery water in process, boiler, and cooling water applications.

6. Solution For Algae Blooms 12/17/2015

   Harmsco® Filtration Products is pleased to offer a solution to the ever increasing blue-algae blooms in water sources. A multi-barrier approach is necessary to physically remove intact (algae and cyanobacteria) before they rupture in the treatment process and then remove extracellular cyanobacteria through adsorption.

7. Bringing Efficiency And New Confidence To BOD₅ Analysis 2/4/2013

   Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) analysis is the test everyone loves to hate—and for compelling reasons.

8. HOD™ (Hydro-Optic Disinfection) UV Water Treatment For Bottled Water 3/27/2025

   The HOD™ (Hydro-Optic Disinfection) UV water treatment system by Atlantium Technologies represents a groundbreaking advancement in drinking water disinfection, particularly for the bottled water industry.

9. Waste Technologies Transform Problems To Profit 9/8/2015

   Anaerobic digestion processes that radically improve the quality of wastewater while delivering green energy extracted from biological waste streams are emerging as a profitable way for agricultural and food processing industries cope with the twin impact of drought and pollution challenges.

10. Groundwater Remediation 12/1/2020

    Good quality groundwater is an important natural resource. It provides drinking water for the public as well as process water for industrial applications. Groundwater can become contaminated through a number of ways including improper handling of process chemicals or disposal of wastes.
