Water Treatment Chemicals
It’s All in the Chemistry – The Significance of Water Treatment Chemicals It’s predicted that the next world war will be fought over the possession of drinking water. Whether this proves to be true or not, with climate change and the lack of intelligent storage facilities, the scarcity of this precious commodity is becoming more […]
Water Softener System
Making Water Soft – WaterIcon’s Water Softener System From using huge boulders of porous rock to rudimentary sediment filters and crushed charcoal, small stones and sand, humans have been experimenting with water for thousands of years to achieve maximum purity of this precious commodity. As the availability of this irreplaceable resource dwindles across the globe, […]
Reverse Osmosis System
A Reverse Osmosis System Custom-built to Any Requirements Humans have been utilising various techniques to purify water for millennia, and most of their methods have involved some form of physical filtration. Their earliest efforts drew directly from nature, filtering the water by leaving it to percolate through gravel or sand. Subsequent improvements to this technique […]
Desalination and Brackish Water Treatment
Desalination and Brackish Water Treatment Technologies and Solutions It is unlikely that any inhabitant of the Western Cape will have forgotten the “day zero” drought when the taps in the Mother City came close to running dry. Only the timely introduction of a temporary desalination plant prevented what would otherwise have been a national disaster. The event […]
Water Purification Company
Wide Range of Treatment Options from a Leading Water Purification Company Operating from premises in the Modderfontein Industrial Complex on the outskirts of Johannesburg is a company dedicated to preserving one of the planet’s most vital natural resources and ensuring its purity. In pursuit of these goals, it conducts an extensive research and development programme […]
Membrane Filtration
Membrane Filtration in Industrial Water Treatment Humans have employed filters for various purposes for millennia. The Romans used them to remove soil and leaves from the water carried by their aqueducts, and the famed Greek physician Hippocrates filtered boiled water through a conical fabric “sleeve” to further purify it. Porous, unglazed clay pots served a […]
Reverse Osmosis Systems
Reverse Osmosis Systems and Some Popular Uses Humans have been devising ways to free water of impurities for thousands of years with varying degrees of success. Most of the techniques employed for this purpose rely on mechanical filtration, involving passing a liquid through a porous medium: the smaller the pores, the more efficient the process. […]
Water Treatment Systems
Water Treatment Systems for Industrial and Commercial Use Sixty per cent of the human body is water, and the level is considerably higher in organs like the brain, lungs and kidneys. None of our vital metabolic processes would be possible without this simple compound of hydrogen and oxygen. However, despite a planet whose surface consists […]
Industrial Water Treatment
Industrial Water Treatment Systems in the Mining Industry Mining has long been the mainstay of the South African economy. Johannesburg and secondary industries throughout Gauteng would have never grown to their current size without the rush to exploit the nearby gold-rich reef. Platinum and diamonds have earned billion in hard currency, while extensive coal mining […]
