Clean water is an essential resource for many industries in South Africa – the quality of it can have a significant impact on production and operations. Hardness, pollutants, and impurities can lead to issues such as equipment damage, decreased performance, and higher maintenance expenses. Water cleaners help to preserve water quality and guarantee peak performance.
Processes in the mining, manufacturing, and power generation industries primarily depend on clean water. However, contaminants in the water can impact operations. Hard water, for example, can cause scale formation in the mining industry, which lowers the effectiveness of mining equipment.
Blue Reef Water Solutions is a leading South African water treatment company that offers cleaning chemicals and engineering for mill mining circuits, boilers, condensers and more. We are a Level 2 B-BBEE company and are committed to social responsibility and environmental sustainability.
Benefits of water treatment products
These chemicals are specially made to remove contaminants, reduce scale formation, and enhance the quality of the water. These speciality products function by dispersing particles to prevent deposition, neutralising pollutants, and binding with minerals to stop the formation of scale. Water treatment products help to:
- Boost the effectiveness of the equipment – This also minimises maintenance expenses and downtime brought on by corrosion and scale accumulation.
- Improve product quality – By avoiding contamination, one can guarantee dependable and consistent product performance.
- Minimise pollutants – Reducing the release of dangerous pollutants into the environment will lessen the impact on the ecosystem.
- Reduce operating expenses – Clean water systems will lower costs and energy use.
Blue Reef’s water cleaners
We provide a wide range of water treatment products to suit different sectors’ demands. Our product offerings include:
- Anti-scalants – These substances work to reduce the buildup of deposits of calcium carbonate and calcium sulphate, which clog heat exchangers, valves, and pipes. Anti-scalants prevent the production of scale by interfering with the crystallisation process.
- Sequestrants – Sequestrants bind to metal ions to prevent them from precipitating and causing corrosion. Sequestrants improve the clarity and visual appeal of the treated water by complexing these metals.
- Dispersants – These chemicals keep contaminants disposed by preventing the precipitation of suspended particles. These substances function especially well in applications where water quality is crucial, such as reverse osmosis systems, cooling water systems and boiler feedwater treatment.
Liquid vs powder water cleaners
There are a few factors that will influence the decision to opt for a liquid or a powder water cleaner. These include the particular application, handling convenience, and storage requirements. Transporting and storing chemicals in powder form is typically less expensive. Nonetheless, careful handling and dissolution are necessary to guarantee adequate dispersion within the water system.
Chemicals in liquid form are simpler to handle and administer, which makes them perfect for smaller-scale applications or situations requiring exact dosage. They work well with automatic dosage systems too.
Reverse osmosis membranes: An effective water cleaning tool
Along with our chemical and liquid water cleaners, we also offer reverse osmosis membranes. In this process, contaminants are removed from water by forcing it through a semi-permeable membrane under pressure. These membranes are widely used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, electronics manufacturing, and food and beverage processing.
To guarantee that industries have access to the clean water they require for their operations, our reverse osmosis systems can be tailored to match specific water quality requirements. Blue Reef is dedicated to offering world-class water purification solutions that satisfy the strictest requirements.
Our team is committed to providing clients with outstanding service and we have a wealth of knowledge in water treatment solutions and engineering. Blue Reef can assist you in identifying the best course of action whether you are having problems with scale formation, water quality, or reverse osmosis performance.
