Introduction
A leading energy company with a strong global presence.
Challenge
Inability to meet the effluent disposal standards as per pollution control
board guidelines.
Solution Offered
A treatment scheme comprising of two staged Reverse Osmosis system and a Demineralisation Plant were proposed keeping in mind the quality and source of the incoming water streams.
After passing through the micron cartridge filter the water passes through the 2 staged Reverse Osmosis system for maximum recovery (90% approx). The product water is then made to pass through the demineralisation plant in the form of a mixed bed where the trace scale forming constituents are removed.
Result Achieved
The treated water is
- Flow – 25 cum per hr
- Colourless and Odourless
- Turbidity < 0.1 Nephlometric Turbidity Units
- Total Suspended Solids < 0.1 ppm
- Total Dissolved Solids < 50 ppm
Benefits to client
- High purity treated water being used to fire critical boilers
- Reduction in freshwater intake leading to cost savings
- Fully automatic system with zero manual intervention
- Maximum recovery with minimal discharge
- Reduction in scale related production losses
- Reduction in costs related to chemicals used for scale inhibition and scale chipping
- Small footprint
