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.
Chemical | Power | Oil & Gas | Pharmaceutical | Food & Beverage | Agriculture |
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
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.
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.
Maximize steel plant efficiency with comprehensive waste treatment solutions. From coal washer to blast furnace waste, optimize processes for quality.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ozone is recognized among the strongest, fastest, commercially available disinfectants and oxidants for water treatment, ozone is used in both the disinfection of drinking water and bacterial killer in wastewater treatment.
By understanding what causes the difficulties in pH measurements and having the proper equipment, stable and accurate pure water pH measurement can be accomplished.
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.
When selecting a Level Measurement device, what to consider in order to be accurate and repeatable?
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.
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.
Learning these four lessons will help you improve your engineering skills and most importantly extend the life of your pH sensors.
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.
