Ion Exchange Systems
Ion Exchange Systems and their Role in Water Softening Most efforts to purify water and other liquids involve mechanical methods such as sedimentation and filtration. These techniques are used mainly to remove dirt. However, they can be adapted to separate any insoluble chemicals present in the untreated source. In the latter case, the objective of […]
Wastewater Treatment Specialists
Wastewater Treatment Specialists are now more Crucial than ever. As the global population rapidly approaches the 8 billion mark, many of the planet’s natural resources are becoming seriously depleted or otherwise endangered. In the latter category, much of the danger is due to pollution. While most of the world’s attention is currently on the atmosphere […]
Industrial Water Treatment Companies
The Crucial Role of Industrial Water Treatment Companies Most of the world’s industrialised nations routinely consume water faster than their purification plants can process it for reuse. The practice is putting increasing pressure on the planet’s untapped reserves. In South Africa, the threat of an impending crisis has been compounded by the blatant evidence of […]
Water Treatment for Mines
The Vital Role of Water Treatment Solutions for Mines Despite being responsible for less than five per cent of South Africa’s water consumption, the mining industry is, by its very nature, one of the country’s biggest polluters of this vital resource. Nevertheless, our modern society has become equally dependent on the various minerals available through […]
Desalination and Water Treatment
More Desalination and Water Treatment Plants are Crucial for Survival While world leaders are meeting to pledge ways in which they intend to limit global warming, many countries are already experiencing the effects of climate change. These include bush fires, droughts, rapidly melting glaciers, and shrinking coastlines. In the meantime, unconstrained consumption and wholesale pollution […]
Waste Water Treatment South Africa
Waste Water Treatment Options in South Africa In common with other industrialised nations, South Africa produces vast quantities of waste water that requires extensive treatment to recover and render reusable. However, the southernmost tip of our continent is a predominately semi-arid region in which droughts are a common occurrence. Consequently, the need for strict conservation is greater than in many other […]
Desalination Plant
Desalination Plants Could Halt the Growing Water Crisis In the wake of incidents such as the “Day Zero” drought that saw Cape Town’s taps almost run dry, even the most ardent naysayers will find it hard to deny the world is facing a severe water crisis. As nations have become more industrialised, consumption has increased […]
Agricultural Water Filter System
The Crucial Role of an Agricultural Water Filter System A common mistake among the general public is to separate farming from other industries, like mining and manufacturing, labelling the latter as responsible for most water consumption. In practice, statistics show that the nation’s farms consume around 65% of South Africa’s water. By contrast, collectively, all […]
Primary Treatment of Wastewater
Steps in the Primary Treatment Of Wastewater Once the earth’s natural water cycle could no longer meet the demands of its burgeoning population, humans were forced to devise methods to recycle water artificially. In practice, most of that we use to shower, flush toilets, clean our clothes and power innumerable industrial processes will eventually be […]
Food and Beverage Water Treatment
Water Treatment in the Food and Beverage Industry While the liquid we draw from our taps must comply with agreed standards of purity, the levels required by some industries are often much higher. For example, the food and beverage industry needs water treatment procedures to guarantee both product quality and their customer’s safety. While the […]
