What Is Electrodeionisation & Is It Good Value For Money?

Posted by Peter Wood on 29-Oct-2019 15:14:29

Electrodeionisation (EDI) is an advanced water treatment method used to produce extremely pure water. EDI is usually used as a 'polishing' process to further purify water that has already been filtered, sterilised, and purified by more common methods such as reverse osmosis and membrane filtration. It is usually used in high-tech fabrication industries, such as biotech, electronics, food, and pharmaceutical factories to produce Ultrapure Water (UPW).

What Industries Require Ultra-Pure Or Very Clean Water?

Posted by Peter Wood on 22-Oct-2019 15:53:55

Ultra-pure water is used as a rinsing agent and ingredient where contaminants can damage the health of users or machinery. It refers to water that’s been cleared of all contaminants, including dissolved solids, organic and inorganic matter, and gasses. It’s most commonly known for its use in the pharmaceutical and semi-conductor industries, but several other sectors rely on it just as much.

6 Questions To Ask A Water Purification Specialist Before Purchasing A New Water Purification System

Posted by Peter Wood on 16-Oct-2019 17:23:00



Every industry has a regulated set of standards for water quality and use. Your purification system must be able to cope with your ultra-pure requirements as well as it does your reclamation process and waste water management system, so it’s important to ask the right questions of your filtration expert.

Why Does The Electronics Industry Require Ultrapure Water?

Posted by Peter Wood on 12-Oct-2019 14:48:00

Ultrapure Water (UPW) is, as the name implies, water in one of its purest forms. It can be considered a hyper-filtrated substance. To qualify, a sample of H20 must contain no more than 50 organic particles per million. It must also be completely devoid of any bacteria, parasites, or other significant organic detritus such as mineral electrolytes.

How Do I Identify, Treat, & Prevent Bacterial Contamination In Process Water In 3 Easy Steps?

Posted by Peter Wood on 01-Oct-2019 13:59:00

While it isn't usually considered the most obvious vector for microbial contamination, process water (which is any water used in industrial processes such as cooling, manufacturing, forming, or washing) can easily become infected with dangerous bacteria. Contaminations can carry onto processed objects and industrial equipment, risking infections amongst your employees, customers, or livestock. You're much more likely to notice an infection from industrial equipment that powers direct contact water appliances such as spa pools. Here's how you can prevent bacterial contamination of process water in three easy steps.

What Can Recycled Water Be Used For?

Posted by Peter Wood on 20-Sep-2019 15:15:00



Climate change has increased the odds of drought in many parts of the world, making water recycling a critical way to survive the new global ecosystem. Recycled water can be used for everything from irrigation to groundwater recharge. It plays a key role in industry too, supplying process water to manufacturing plants, agricultural regions, and natural water sources. Recycled water sometimes has a higher concentration of minerals than potable water, but if the original source is pure, it can often be restored to potable water through filtration or demineralisation.

The Best Reverse Osmosis Systems To Buy

Posted by Peter Wood on 13-Sep-2019 14:54:00



Reverse osmosis (RO) is fast becoming the filtration method of choice for a wide range of businesses. It’s capable of pre-treating feed water while improving the life expectancy of your downstream systems. It eliminates sodium and lead at an impressively reduced energy cost and is remarkably easy to maintain. It can be used to pre-treat water before deionisation, making it ideal for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and microchip manufacturing.

Core Reasons Recycling Water Is Good For The Environment

Posted by Peter Wood on 04-Sep-2019 16:43:00



Freshwater diversion can be harmful to sensitive ecosystems, and recycling keeps it at a minimum, leaving important plants and wildlife with enough water to survive and reproduce. Without enough water flow, the water quality that the ecosystem relies upon to survive deteriorates, and reliance on expensive imported water becomes a necessity.

3 Common Mistakes Made With Reverse Osmosis Systems

Posted by Peter Wood on 02-Sep-2019 16:11:00



You can invest in the perfect reverse osmosis (RO) system and still achieve inferior results. RO plants must be correctly installed and maintained to ensure peak performance. Your membrane can only filter impurities well if its surface is clean, and your utility bills can only remain low if your permeate flow to feed flow ratio is efficient. It’s pointless to choose a sparkling premium product if all other aspects of your system are badly designed. Here are a few mistakes to avoid.
