Water with Specific Properties: Engineered Water for Industrial Use

Water is not as simple as it seems. It is often required to have, or to specifically not have, certain properties, especially when it comes to industrial applications. The properties of water are therefore deliberately altered to fulfil the technological requirements of specific industrial processes. For example, solids can be removed from the water using methods such as de-icing, softening and demineralization, other agents can be added, or the water's parameters, such as its pH value, can be modified.

The fact is that some components of water can cause significant damage to systems and processes in certain industrial applications. For example, cooling water must be modified so that it is suitable for refrigeration units, while the water for steam turbines must be completely desalinated to prevent corrosion from damaging the boiler. Ultrafiltration is not only employed in water treatment, but also in many other industrial treatment and separating processes. It offers particular benefits for constantly recurring processes, since it can be relied upon to always deliver the same level of quality.
