Custom Engineered Water Treatment
Raw Water Treatment | Ion Exchange | Membrane | Recycle/Reuse | Zero Liquid | Desalination | Evaporative Process
No matter your size, market, or application, Aquatech has the experience, the technology, and the infrastructure to be your water purification partner. Our water treatment options consist of both customized and packaged treatment systems and products to give you maximum flexibility and value in structuring your water solutions.
Running the gamut from raw water treatment and desalination to membrane systems and zero liquid discharge, Aquatech’s wide range of custom engineered water treatment processes makes us one of the only global companies capable of single point responsibility on a water treatment project. Discussion of our various custom treatment components can be found below.
Raw Water Treatment
Almost all raw water sources: surface, ground, municipal, sea or others, require treatment before the water can be further treated in most pure water treatment systems. Pretreatment systems can include various types of pretreatment equipment to remove color, suspended solids, dissolved solids and other contaminants harmful to the pure water treatment system and the industrial process of our clients. Some examples of pretreatment equipment are:
|
 |

Chemical Feed |

Ion Exchange
Pure water treatment systems remove dissolved minerals from process water used in steam generation and other industrial applications. The most common methods of de-mineralizing water are Ion Exchange and Membrane Systems.
Ion Exchange is also used to polish condensate commonly returned for reuse in steam processes. Aquatech was founded on their de-mineralization capability. We optimize the combination of ion exchange and membrane systems to deliver customized systems that meet the needs of our clients.

Zero Liquid Discharge
Today's strict discharge requirements demand sophisticated wastewater treatment solutions. In fact, ground water regulations are getting tougher every day. Many times industries are prohibited from having any liquid waste originating from their facilities. Aquatech is well suited to offer a Zero Liquid Discharge Solution for complex industrial wastewaters.
