Industry is one of the largest users of water. Within industry, water is used at many stages of the production process. The challenge here is to keep water as safe and effective as possible without adversely affecting humans, animals, products and the environment.
What is industrial water?
Industrial water is water used in industrial processes, factories and production facilities. It includes the use of water for many different purposes in various industries, such as manufacturing, food processing and many more. Industrial processes often require large quantities of water. Companies often need to find sources of water of sufficient quality. Water also often needs to be treated to meet the specific requirements of the production process and environmental regulations.
Swap out the harmful chemicals
It is often seen that, to maintain water quality, the water is treated with all kinds of harmful chemicals. Besides the fact that this does do its job, large quantities are often needed before the remedy takes effect. It also has many environmental consequences. It can pollute water sources, contribute to air pollution and have toxic effects. The moment residues remain in the finished product, it also poses a risk to the end user. Products may also have a weird smell or taste as a result, chances of premature spoilage.
The Watter system
At Watter, we have an in-situ solution that is safe for humans, animals and the environment. With HOCl as the active ingredient, our disinfectant is more effective than most traditional disinfectants because better results can be achieved with a smaller concentration. Another big advantage is that the Watter system is an in-situ solution. This means that the agent can be produced on site. So you are no longer dependent on external suppliers, it saves in transport costs, storage and you have to deal with less plastic waste.
Overall is industrial water a crucial resource for various industrial activities, where good quality is highly valued. With the Watter system, you maintain this quality, contributing to a more sustainable and better world.
