Water Treatment
Ultra-pure water for air humidification and other applications.
Tap water is one of the best protected foodstuffs – in Canada it can be drunk without the slightest risk. Yet it is not good enough for FINESTFOG air humidification systems: magnesium and calcium – the hardeners in water – cause calcification. Moreover, these minerals do not evaporate but instead are precipitated. High dust load and air opacification follow. The solution is FINESTFOG water treatment systems that produce water of the highest purity that is virtually free of salt and bacteria.
FINESTFOG water treatment systems produce ultra-pure water – practically free of salts and bacteria. A closed water circuit, the high-quality membranes, the regular flushing of the entire system and irradiation with effective UV light produce hygienically and technically flawless water.
Pure water treatment
FINESTFOG’s compact reverse osmosis systems are characterized by an open design and their performance. The systems produce between 100 and 900 litres of pure water per hour (larger capacities on request).
The FINESTFOG osmosis module is at the heart of the water purification system. Its high-quality composite membrane is guaranteed for high efficiency over a long service life.
The open design of the unit makes it easy to monitor performance. Flow meters for permeate and concentrate (waste water) supply information on operating efficiency. A conductivity sensor ensures the highest water quality. A pre-alarm and alarm provide ample warning of rising conductivity. All operating parameters can be called up on a digital display.
There is no risk of water becoming recontaminated, because this is a closed system with only a small buffer tank. An integrated UV sterilization system at the end of the process gives double surety that there are no microorganisms left in the treated water.
Soft water treatment from KINETICO Canada
Compact, ready to connect and unpowered – that’s the way the KINETICO soft water technology works. Tap water flows through a column filled with cation exchange resin. Magnesium (Mg²+) and calcium (Ca²+) are exchanged for an equivalent amount of sodium ions (Na+). The water softened in this fashion will now contain a proportionately greater amount of sodium salt (cooking salt), but hardly any magnesium and calcium. Both are known as hardeners.
The exhausted exchange resin is automatically regenerated by regenerating salt from the storage container. In air humidification systems the sodium ions prevent nozzles from becoming calcified and blocked. In reverse osmosis systems softening units are used for pretreating the process water.
Water softening systems are always of the pendulum type with two resin columns. This guarantees the availability of softwater at all times. Regeneration is quantity-controlled: only when a column is actually exhausted, will it be regenerated. This saves on salt and waste water. An electronic low-salt indicator (optional) shows when the regenerating salt is used up.
