Fixion Water Hardness
Reduce scaling potential of process water
Hard water causes scaling problems in household machines, such as washing machines, co ee makers and kettles. Hard water can also cause scaling in industrial installations. In some places the water used for drinking water production contains high hardness levels. Hardness is then reduced by industrial water softening techniques, such as ion exchange, membrane osmosis or precipitation. There are known costs and hazards associated with ion removal techniques and the expense involved in ion exchange and regeneration can include the use of large amounts of caustic chemicals.
Concentrations of Ca2+, Mg2+ and Na+ are important quality indicators of the softening processes, but in the drinking water industry often only measured on a weekly grab sample basis. Our experience shows that these ion concentrations can change in a matter of minutes to hours, thereby impacting the quality of the water product.
Capilix solution
Capilix Fixion Water Hardness product enables the monitoring of all relevant ions on-line, for optimal control over the softening process including Ca2+, Mg2+ and Na+. Capilix Fixion Water Hardness product is easy to operate without any speci fic analytical background and easy to integrate in the existing automation systems of the water treatment plant.
Conclusion
Increased sampling frequency and detailed monitoring of the composition of both source and treated water is desired to deliver quality treated water to customers. Capilix Fixion Water Hardness product with its real-time analysis and feedback enables a more e cient process and a better product quality.
