Need: Softened Water
Customer: Fortune 100 Primary Metals Manufacturer
Challenge: Reduce cost for softening 35 to 700 gpm municipal water
A project engineer is asked to reduce cost of softening a process water stream. Softening currently provided by mobile-exchange trailers, regenerated by off-site vendor. The WaterProfessionals furnish detailed projections of softener backwash to satisfy concerns of the environmental department about discharge to municipal sewer. The engineer chooses to outsource the water treatment. The WaterProfessionals design, build, deliver, install, own and operate a semi-permanent, trailer-mounted system. A PLC-controlled, multi-vessel system is used to meet the rapidly fluctuating flow requirements of 35 to 700 gpm while providing water consistently below 3 ppm in hardness. The plant realizes immediate savings without investment of capital and eliminates all involvement of plant personnel in system operation. |
