WaterProfessionals Specializes in Custom Industrial Water Filtration Solutions WaterProfesssionals® works with you from problem analysis to complete testing, startup, system monitoring and follow-up service. Specializing in custom-engineered solutions using pumps, valves, and controls currently inventoried and supported by your staff, WaterProfessionals adapts to your needs for a custom solution that uses your standards – not their "standard product." WaterProfesssionals does NOT try to force a standard product on you. WaterProfessionals® provide water treatment solutions for the following: Ultrapure Water "Ultrapure" is the water treatment industry term applied to water which meets stringent limits on several or all of the following: dissolved and suspended solids, organic carbon, dissolved gases and biological organisms (e.g., bacteria, viruses, pyrogens). Water meeting these characteristics is generally required in pharmaceutical, electronics and optical manufacturing processes as well as medical, research and dialysis applications. Several standards-setting organizations publish standards governing ultrapure water purity. Examples include USP, ASTM, CAP, NCCLS, ANSI and AAMI. Process Water Process water refers to water used in manufacturing processes such as rinsing, plating, spraying, coating, cooling, washing, boiler water make-up, cooling tower make-up, etc. Oftentimes, minerals dissolved in the city or well water may cause spotting, fouling, streaking, interference with adherence, scaling, product contamination or other undesirable effects which affect quality of the product or the cost to manufacture it. Water quality may be associated with high energy costs; for example, demineralizing water going to a boiler may reduce fuel consumption markedly by allowing operation at much higher cycles of concentration, thus drastically reducing the blowdown which dumps very hot water down the drain. Wastewater Treatment Wastewater treatment is frequently required to meet discharge requirements for suspended or dissolved contaminants before disposal into a municipal sewer or a stream. Due to increasingly stringent NPDES or POTW restrictions, technologies that worked previously may no longer work. Cost and water scarcity are driving wastewater recovery and recycle efforts in many industries. Energy cost is also driving water recycle efforts in cases where heated water may be going to drain. Contaminants of concern frequently include oils and greases, heavy metals, color, biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and suspended solids.
