What is Industrial Water?

Water is involved in almost every step of production in a plethora of industries. Before it's used in an industrial plant, raw water must meet stringent industrial water specifications for quality. Industrial wastewater is the by-product of those commercial/industrial processes, requiring careful industrial wastewater management to enable reuse or disposal. Industrial water treatment is extremely vital in industries such as those below.

Details

Chemical

Industrial water is crucial in chemical processes: from reactions to cooling. Water quality ensures safety, efficiency, and product integrity. Water is an essential compound.

Power

Industrial water is a vital component in power generation, serving critical roles in cooling, steam production, and turbine efficiency. From nuclear plants to hydroelectric dams, water is essential for reliable and sustainable energy production.

Oil & Gas

Industrial water is indispensable in Oil & Gas operations. From drilling to refining, it's vital for cooling, extraction, and processing. Quality control ensures efficiency, safety, and environmental compliance. Water is essential in oil & gas refining.

Pharmaceutical

Water quality is critical in pharmaceutical manufacturing for drug safety & efficacy. From production to cleaning, it's a vital component in ensuring regulatory compliance & patient safety. Water is essential for safe pharmaceuticals.

Food & Beverage

Industrial water is vital in food & beverage: from processing to clean-in-place (CIP) operations. Quality impacts taste, safety, and sustainability. Water is an essential ingredient.

Agriculture & Aquaculture

Discover applications that optimize water use in agriculture and aquaculture. Water is essential for life.

Resources

Overview:

You can measure and monitor integral flow (total and excess flow). You can also calculate the flow integral and excess usage with computation functions, and generate reports with the Report function. With the Excel template function, you can create templates in a desired report format for creating reports automatically.

Overview:

Maximize steel plant efficiency with comprehensive waste treatment solutions. From coal washer to blast furnace waste, optimize processes for quality.

Overview:

Yokogawa’s ADMAG TI - AXG magnetic flowmeter (magmeter) with EtherNet/IP is used to measure the water moving from the pump to the snow cannons. The accurate measurement allows the operator to monitor and control the water in the mixture to produce artificial snow with the perfect consistency.

Overview:

What is screen differential control? This is a control application commonly found at utility plants located on rivers, lakes and other large bodies of water and at industrial facilities where a large amount of cooling water is used.

Overview:

Dairy wastewater is a mixture of organic compounds, suspended solids, fats, and bacteria that can produce a film or coating on equipment in the process. 

Application Note
Overview:

Fish are totally dependent upon water to breathe, feed, grow, maintain a salt balance, and reproduce. Water quality determines the success or failure of an aquaculture operation.

Overview:

The use of recycled oil as an energy source presents a significant processing problem. Because composition of the fluid is not consistent and it also may contain impurities, the use of conventional flowmeter technologies is not practical. ADMAG CA Series, however, has been shown to provide reliable and stable flow measurement of recycled oil containing water.

Overview:

Sour Water is the wastewater that is produced from atmospheric and vacuum crude columns at refineries. Hydrogen sulfide and ammonia are typical components in sour water that need to be removed before the water can be reused elsewhere in the plant.

Application Note
Overview:

Accurate tracking of a facility's intake and output is needed as multiple state and federal agencies and environmental programs are involved. Since re-refined oil is considered a renewable resource it qualifies for various state and federal energy credits or pollution programs, so accurate accounting is critical.

Overview:

By understanding what causes the difficulties in pH measurements and having the proper equipment, stable and accurate pure water pH measurement can be accomplished.

Overview:

Asset health monitoring has long been in existence to protect expensive equipment and/or operations from costly, critical, or catastrophic failures, with numerous examples in nuclear, aeronautical, petrochemical, industries and beyond. The costs associated to install the sensors and asset health system way overcome the consequences of not implementing. However, this is not the case in all industries, with all equipment and/or all operations. In many cases equipment is run until failure and then repaired or replaced.

Overview:

Kind of. Calibration itself will not extend the life of a sensor, however, a sensor that is not calibrated properly can cause unreliable measurements - that are often misdiagnosed leading to unnecessary replacements.

Overview:

Optimizing the maintenance cycle is not always straightforward. In some cases, cleaning once a week is sufficient and other processes may require every 8 hours.

Overview:

Learning these four lessons will help you improve your engineering skills and most importantly extend the life of your pH sensors.

Overview:

Select the correct pH glass and reference type to improve your pH sensor lifetime and you can limit or even eliminate the effects of temperature and pressure on especially the reference sensor.

Overview:

The lifetime of a pH sensor has a significant impact on the overall annual costs of a pH measuring loop. Optimizing four key factors will decrease these costs and optimize process control and overall plant efficiency.
