Nonchemical water treatment methods can help reduce potable water consumption and can improve the quality of the water released into the groundwater recovery systems.

Water screens made from a variety of metals and alloys play a crucial role in preventing trash and debris from damaging pumps and other sensitive components used in industrial cooling tower systems.

Traditionally, chemical, fertilizer and gas manufacturers, power plants and other facilities with heat-generating industrial operations have used metal-mesh screens to filter debris and prevent pumps from clogging during industrial processes critical to reducing heat buildup.

The efficiency of cooling towers and their related processes can be improved in many ways. One important way is to filter the cooling water, ensuring that any particulate capable of contaminating the process is removed. Two often used filtration technologies are bag filters and walnut-shell filters.

With drought and water shortages looming large over our communities, and the resulting increased focus on water conservation, industrial water users are looking for ways to reduce their water usage.
