Water treatment is needed everywhere - for heating, cooling, processing, cleaning, rinsing, and drinking. Feedwater Ltd helps industrial and commercial organisations to manage their water resources wisely, so that costs and risks are reduced. Poor water treatment lets water interact with the surfaces of pipes and vessels which contain it. Steam boilers can scale up or rust, and these deposits will mean more fuel is needed to heat the same amount of water. Cooling towers can also scale and rust, but left untreated, the warm, dirty water they can contain will encourage bacteria to grow, and Legionnaires' Disease can be the fatal consequence. Domestic water can become unsafe to drink if proper hygiene measures are neglected.
In many cases, effluent water from one process might be perfectly suitable for reuse in another process somewhere else on site. With the proper treatment, a very significant proportion of on-site water might be reusable. This can save * in three ways. You will be charged less for the smaller amount of mains water you consume. You will be charged less for the smaller volume of effluent water you discharge. But if you can recover the heat in waste water for further use, you will save on your energy bills too.
