PROCESS WATER TREATMENT
Treatment Solutions for Industrial Process Water
ABCO Water develops process water treatment solutions based on the source water chemistry, required water quality and specific requirements of the industrial process.
Our solutions can combine filtration, chemical conditioning, iron and manganese removal, softening, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and disinfection to achieve the required process water quality
PROCESS WATER TREATMENT
Typical Industry Applications
Mining
Key Applications:
- Process Water Treatment: Conditioning raw water to meet the requirements of mineral processing and site operations.
- Iron & Manganese Removal: Oxidation, filtration and chemical treatment of bore water and groundwater sources.
- RO & Demineralisation: Reduction of dissolved salts and hardness where higher-quality process water is required.
Treatment systems can be configured around the available source water and the specific water quality required by each mining process.
Oil and Gas
Oil and gas operations often require reliable process water for equipment, utility systems and production activities, with source water quality varying significantly between sites.
Key Applications:
- Process Water Conditioning: Treatment of raw water to achieve the quality required for plant and production processes.
- Filtration & Solids Removal: Removal of suspended solids, turbidity and other contaminants to protect downstream equipment.
- RO & Demineralisation: Reduction of dissolved salts and hardness for higher-quality industrial water requirements.
Treatment systems can be designed around site water chemistry, operating conditions and the specific requirements of each process.
Infrastructure
Key Applications:
- Construction Process Water: Treatment of raw water for concrete production, washdown and general site use.
- Filtration & Conditioning: Removal of suspended solids, turbidity and problematic minerals from bore or surface water.
- Temporary Treatment Systems: Containerised and modular systems for short-term or changing project requirements.
Process water systems can be configured as temporary or permanent installations to suit project duration, source water quality and operational demand.
Manufacturing
Key Applications:
- Process Water Preparation: Conditioning incoming water to suit specific manufacturing and production requirements.
- Softening & Demineralisation: Reduction of hardness and dissolved minerals to minimise scaling and process interference.
- RO & High-Purity Water: Production of low-salinity or high-purity water for sensitive industrial applications.
Treatment systems are selected around the required process water specification rather than a standard potable water target.
Food & Beverage
Key Applications:
- Ingredient & Process Water: Treatment of source water to achieve consistent quality for production processes.
- Filtration & Disinfection: Removal of suspended solids and microorganisms where hygienic water quality is required.
- RO & Softening: Reduction of hardness, salinity and dissolved contaminants for boilers, processing and specialist applications.
Treatment can be tailored to production requirements while supporting water efficiency, equipment protection and consistent product quality.
Agriculture
Key Applications:
- Irrigation Water Conditioning: Removal of suspended solids, iron and other contaminants that can affect irrigation systems.
- Process Water Treatment: Conditioning water for agricultural processing, cleaning and production activities.
- Salinity & Hardness Reduction: RO and other treatment processes where source water quality limits operational use.
Systems can be configured around seasonal demand, source water variability and the quality required by the agricultural application.
Pharmaceuticals
Key Applications:
- Purified Process Water: Multi-stage treatment to achieve controlled water quality for production and cleaning processes.
- Demineralisation: Removal of dissolved ions and minerals using reverse osmosis, ion exchange or combined treatment processes.
- Final Polishing: Filtration, disinfection and specialist polishing to achieve high-purity water requirements.
Treatment systems are developed around the required water specification, process risk and quality assurance requirements of the facility.
Power Generation
Key Applications:
- Boiler Feedwater: Removal of hardness, salts and dissolved contaminants to protect boilers and steam systems.
- Cooling Water Treatment: Conditioning water to control scaling, corrosion and fouling within cooling systems.
- Demineralised Water: RO and polishing systems for applications requiring low conductivity and high-purity water.
Process water treatment can be integrated with chemical dosing, storage and control systems to support reliable plant operation.
Hospitality
Key Applications:
- Laundry & Utility Water: Softening and conditioning to reduce hardness, scaling and detergent consumption.
- Pool & Facility Water: Filtration, disinfection and conditioning for operational water systems.
- RO & Specialist Water: Production of higher-quality water for kitchens, equipment and other site-specific applications.
An integrated process water system can improve water quality, protect equipment and reduce operating costs across hospitality facilities.
Healthcare
Key Applications:
- RO & Purified Water: Production of high-quality water for sterilisation, laboratories and specialist equipment.
- Softening & Demineralisation: Removal of hardness and dissolved minerals to protect boilers, equipment and utility systems.
- Filtration & Disinfection: Treatment and microbial control for process and facility water applications.
Treatment systems can be designed around the specific water quality, redundancy and operational requirements of healthcare facilities.
