Industrial water treatment
|
The corrosion, the incrustations, the deposits, the foam and other problems normally associated with the systems of water handling, adversely affect the operation of the commercial and industrial systems such as: Systems of cooling, System of Steam Generation, Residual water Plant, and Potable Water Plants.
These factors can cause lost considerable of the systems before mentioned, and cause a fast deterioration in the used construction equipments in their structures.
The physical control of pH, dissolved solids, iron, total hardness and other variables of operation, help to reduce the problems, nevertheless, the chemical treatments of the water are average but effective and the economic one to reduce them and to eliminate them. The complementary programs of Wide Complexion, for the chemical treatment of the water, were designed to fight the problems already mentioned.
The formulated products, by Wide Complexion have demonstrated their effectiveness in the different applied chemical treatments in diverse facilities from their clients by but of 20 years.
Next they are described, the systems of Treated handling of the Water:
Systems of Cooling
The primary target of the Systems of Cooling, is in ’?oeremoving’?ù the heat that is generated in the equipment heat exchangers. The water in this system acts like receiver of the heat generated by these systems.
In the Systems of Cooling a great potential appears to generate all kind of problems, due to the presence of microorganisms, gases, particles of dust sand, sweepings, etc., To the growth of nitrificantes bacteria by the reaction with I oxygenate, and that to smaller temperature promotes the formation of corrosion and iron deposits.
Types of Systems of Cooling
- Systems of a step
- Open systems of recirculation
- Closed systems of recirculation
The internal chemical treatments of Wide Complexion, help to reduce the total use of the water of feeding to the industrial equipment that is used to cool the water, allows to handle the dissolved total solids, the deposits, avoids the incrustations, controls the electrochemical and microbiological corrosion, to improve the cooling efficiency optimizing the costs of operativity of the plants.
Systems of Steam Generation In many processes energy is needed, or is for operations with temperature or to provide movement.
A source of supply constitutes the water, taking advantage of its high heat capacity and his low cost obtaining. Nevertheless, the water must have certain characteristics that depend on the use that is wanted to give to them.
In most of the cases, the water in natural form must be prepared for the required use and thus to avoid the problems that it causes in the equipment. In the particular case of the water of boilers, these problems normally are: the foam incrustations, corrosion and formation, that contrary affect the operation of the boilers.
These factors inflict considerable casualties and cause fast deterioration in the equipment. The control of some parameters in the water like pH, hardness and others help to reduce and to eliminate these problems. The fisicoquˆ‚micos treatments of the water are average the economic and effective one to control the problems already expressed.
Of a general and schematic way, the water steam takes place taking to the boiling point the water contained in a container.
The water of feeding introduced in the steam generator, comes from the cold source (collector network of the condensed product more additional water).
- Types of Steam Generators
- Direct fire generator.
- Furnace of incineration.
- Nuclear reactor.
- Boiler of recovery (associates to a gas).
- Steam transformer.
The programs of Wide Complexion, help to reduce the formation of carbonate incrustations, silicates, of iron, they control the corrosion by I oxygenate dissolved that causes the water, help to the pasivaciˆ„n of the metal of the boilers and the condensed steam system of, therefore they improve the efficiency of the heat transference to obtain greater amount and quality of steam to the smaller production cost, reason why they guarantee the increase of the life of operativity of the steam plants, diminishing the shutdowns nonprogrammed.
Residual waters
The water in its pure molecular form does not exist in the nature, inasmuch as it contains substances that can be in suspension or a true solution according to the size of disintegration of the material.
The natural organic matter that is the water can be particles, colloidal or in dissolved form. The particulada is generally organic matter, which includes rest of organisms and microorganisms, that are as well easy to remove by coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation, of similar way and other particles causes of the turbidity in the water. The difference of an organic colloid of an organic molecule in a true solution is the capacity to be coagulated by simple neutralization of load.
According to the type of impurities that can be present, We found:
Turbiedad
It is the capacity of a liquid to scatter a luminous beam, can be due to clay originating particles of the erosion of the ground, seaweed or to bacterial growth. The intention is to know the numbers turbiedad in the different stages from the process with the purpose of evaluating the efficiency of the treatment. In treated waters, the turbiedad determines if these waters fulfill the established requirements. The metering of the coagulant is based generally on the turbiedad of the crude water, and therefore the determination of the turbiedad must be made frequently and still more when changes in the water appear.
Color
The color this constituted by chemical substances, most of the originating times of the degradation of the organic matter, such as aquatic leaves and plants with which the water makes contact with enemy.
Coagulation and Flocculation
Coagulation is called - flocculation to the process by which the particles agglutinate in small masses with specific weight superior to the one of the water, flˆ„culos calls.
The Chemical treatments used by Wide Complexion, in the residual water plants, reduce the volume of remainders efficiently and maintain waters of unloadings within the norms of specifications, regulated by the governmental beings. They provide the increase until a 80% of the efficiency of operativity of each system of internal treatment of the plant in general.
Potable waters
These programs help to reduce to the minerals and the organic matter, causes of bad scent; badly flavor, color and turbidity to provide potable water and to take to its characteristics bacteriological physical-chemistries and within the specifications that regulate the beings of the government for the human consumption.
