Raw Water and Influent Clarification
Clearer Water, Smoother Operations
Raw water and influent clarification play a critical role in ensuring water quality across various industries. This process removes suspended particles from natural water sources such as rivers, streams, and creeks, making the water suitable for industrial use. By leveraging coagulation and flocculation mechanisms, along with carefully applied chemical treatments, clarification enhances water purity and operational efficiency.
Industries such as pulp & paper, mining & mineral processing, aggregate processing, chemical refining, oil & gas, food & beverage, and municipal water treatment rely on raw water clarification to maintain smooth operations. In mining, thickeners help remove total suspended solids (TSS) and turbidity before water is used in mineral extraction and milling. Pulp & paper facilities use clarifiers to eliminate colloidal solids and organic compounds that could impact the bleaching process. In municipal drinking water systems, certified chemicals ensure impurities are removed before filtration and disinfection, making the water safe for consumption.
Proper chemical treatment enhances clarifier and settling basin performance, improving overall process efficiency Optimized chemistry selection, precise chemical feed placement, and tailored dosage strategies help industries save significant amounts annually while ensuring regulatory compliance and sustainability
